The first 2 to 3 pages show a lot of like towards the original topic, and the following pages show a lot of dislike for slot deletion. Overall it still seems split to me. For some odd reason those who have expressed their desire to have gang deletions back via in-game mail are magically silent, and those against slot deletion have posted multiple times in this topic.

But like the original post says, it's an idea. More ideas have come (via mail and here)...

1.) Gang points are at stake in battles, with no deletion of anything. Only loss is gang points. Once a gang is out of gang points they can't be milked for more. Points earned are similar to the old respect code where strength differences dictate how much is earned (for example a level 20 hitting a level 1 gets no points, so it's worthless for them to even do this). No one knows the current level of an opponent's gang point total.
2.) Battles lost result in the gang not being able to do anything for a 4 hour period. They cannot add any members nor can members leave. Money in the vault is stuck. Wars cannot be declared.
3.) Battles lost result in the gang not getting any bonuses for a set time. No combat bonuses or any of the future bonuses in the plans.

Again, these are ideas.
