Thanks for posting in the forum. There’s a big thing we need to clarify for this to be possible:
The family name, “Remove this Fam @Pie” was set by the old leader and is retained by the new leader. At most, this represents the intention of a single player (the new leader) and even then is an assumption.
“The family” as a unit wanting to be removed is a huge assumption, and not something we should make a decision on. None of us can say for certain that “The family wants to be removed”. That is speculation, and a dangerous precedent to set.
I understand that people see this family as “dead” but the only people who can speak for #6620 is #6620.
The people in that family need to contact me directly to request removal. Players can’t and shouldn’t be able to request deletion for other players.
You do understand though that I can’t take second hand information for these things, right? Otherwise I am the one who is assuming, and there’s significant risk with setting precedent for that.
I have to hear from them directly.
No. In order to be removed:
They have to have 1 planet
They have to request it themself
These aren’t arbitrary rules for the sake of it btw. Figuring out how to handle bottom fams is something we’ve never done smoothly.
What we have now is a problem, but less of a problem than it used to be.
I understand that 100% even asked them to contact you, but when one did and had planets and was told no they sadly just gave up… ( nothing you did or can fix) it’s just how it goes.
I think one of them ended up getting the issue resolved eventually. We’ll improve upon this as much as we can, and Galaxy joining requirements should help.
