Sadly enough now and then a clan member just disappears without giving a reason. I would like to have a possibiliyt to send them a mail, to remind them of their obligations.
Plus I would like to be able to switch people to "unavailable" if I see that is the case, which would save me 8and potential cxhallengers) to sort this out several times 🙂

Leader able to switch a members availability off (but not on)
A way to send a PM to their email account through RHP system without knowing email address

Not only to unavailable, but also to available again.
(if a clan leader makes mistakes, by assigning games to players who have asked for no more games, then it's the clan's problem: player can resign games without losing rating points)
Emailing players is already possible, so I don't see the added value here immediately..

What is the person has been involved in a serious accident or has died. Would you like to be the grieving relative receiving the email asking "where the hell are you?"
People come, people go, that is the nature of the beast. If we are lucky they tell us.

A pm can be more diplomatic and state, in order to preserve your rating, blah, blah. Clan Challenges have been turned off.
You may turn this off by visiting My Settings.
But great idea and would solve a headache of challenges against people who have gone long term awol.

If I am leaving the site for a reason then I would advise clan leader/rest of clan via the clan forums and if necessary make myself unavailable and/or leave the clan.
This works well within the IVV clan and I am sure that other clans do something similar.
However, if I leave without doing this, then it means something far more urgent and important has happened in my life. Getting an email ain't going to make me jump hoops to rectify the position.
If a clan is worked properly then the members will know how to act properly and members leaving unannounced will not happen. Members who want/do not want to have extra games on their gameload will make themselves available/unavailable as appropriate and so prevent the problem of matching "unavailable" players.
