Ok, so i'm sure many of you are aware that there are a lot of dead chapters laying idle because someone lost interest or went on to make a better one and didn't leave.

So, this idea is this, to have an option, available only to the founder of the chapter, which reformats the chapter i.e. deletes every resource, forum thread etc and allow the user to enter a new name. However, please take note that members would not be removed from the chapter and this is really the vital difference from making an entirely new chapter.

Now, from this several questions arise such as "how do we define the founder?" Well, the founder can have a unique ID and this option is available only to that specific ID. Also you may ask "What if a founder leaves, and someone else takes over and then wants to reformat it?" Well, either then is the time to leave that chapter and start a new one, or perhaps some sort of feature could be created which will allow the founder to say 'person X is now the founder'. You might also ask "what is the point?" Well, a lot's the point. I feel there are far too many drifting dead chapters and it seems a pointless waste of space.

Now it is time for your opinions, suggestions and or questions.

Someone could create a spartan loving gourp and change it to an Elite loving group while the person is away! Obviously that is just a joke, but something like that could happen, they would have to be kicked and sent an invite with change notices.

well, it's up to the chapter founder to decide what he wants to do with it. If the founder was sensible/nice, he/she would notify all members in advance. If not, then big loss, the spartan loving guy leaves and the founder looses members, and it's their own fault.

Why don't you just make a new one?

Besides even if you reformat you still can't change the name.

For some reason names on Bungie.net are set in sacred stone, blessed by holy water, and riturally signed in blood.
