1) If neither side wants to negotiate, it is perfectly acceptable for hospitalizations to continue at will. Like it or not, this is how it SHOULD be. Referring to my past - sometimes it took an apology on the public forums even when the public knew that clan did nothing wrong, but that it's members were suffering and it had to end the war. If the leader(s) are unwilling to negotiate, that is their lack of compassion for their members. Afterall it is just a game. Or perhaps their members said "never surrender!"; therefore, they are not discouraged by the hospitalizations, and the leader(s) are just doing as their members wish.

2) You are assuming that those in the gang cannot leave the gang. Members are free to come and go from gangs. This was often the sought-after goal in my previous online gaming experience where it was setup as a hierarchy system. You would take out the person's armory day after day after wiping out months' worth of work in hopes they would leave the clan (even join yours maybe). Yeah sometimes the player just quit instead of leaving...unfortunately it does and will happen. If you try to prevent it though, you'll just lose more players, as this game went from 125,000 players to just 45,000 due to new rules and regulations. Part of the reason people like this game is it has a variety of things to do, and there are limited restrictions.

The only time then that administrative action should even be considered is when the other side cannot be civil if either the surrendering gang does a) surrender and comply to the terms, b) surrenders but the attacker does not stop after being given very beneficial terms or c) a person merely "guilty by association" leaves and makes this clear he/she does not intend to rejoin and/or participate in the war.

Barring no attempted compromise, war on.

edit: this only applies to gangs warring

Umm that's there were no limited restrictions. Other than that I agree with what iceman says.
