Elder or Not to Elder

Hey everyone.  A few of us have been discussing the idea of granting elder status to only the core group of mature players in the clan.  If you remember, we had a system like this for a while, and granted elder status to a player 'alexgist1', who then kicked about 20 non-elders.  Amazingly enough, we filled the clan back up within a day.  Also amazingly enough, our clan is just as awesome as before, for one reason: the cool people were already elder and were unable to be kicked!

So, Paul, a few of us propose removing elder status from a few players and kicking a few players.   The worst that can happen is that we lose some of our non-core players again with a rogue elder.  Those that deserve elder status follow these guidelines (and maybe more, these are the first that I thought of):

1)  Always donate without being asked.  Individual players may appreciate other donations, but if you are unsure, archers are the default. 
2)  Don't ask to be elder on a daily basis.
3)  Do not kick people without agreement from other (two maybe?) elders
4)  Accept only English speakers to the clan - trophy count does not matter at this point, we just want active players

Here is my thoughts (feel free to disagree) as to who might should continue to be elder:

Elder
Packbear
Boo's Heros

Jeremy
Mr. Chavez
Deeeenise
El Colombiano!
Conor

For people that should be kicked, some of them donate, some of them don't, but those on the list that do donate, I have to ask them to, and I'm tired of asking.  I've seen this sight below more than I care to remember:

Kick
