You already know my oppinon on this ioi, its very simple, you have to trust the members of this site who have put their trust in you for a long time now, if you don´t return the favor and trust them to go where they want, meet who they want and choose their own supervision, then the mutual bonds of trust turn into chains of oppression. This isn´t good for you and it isn´t good for the users who have trusted you and supported this site for so long.
How about you rethink the club/clan suggestion but make it less messy... users who want to make a club have to have been here for a certain time and need the support of a number of other members to make a club. They can only have limited members but get to invite more over time if they prove they are mature, they can chose to be open for views of others and have to chose at least two mods of their choice who suppervise them.
