Donation vs Requests - Optional Clan Ratio

Might as well start the post with i'm sure this has been posted before ( since that seems to be the most common opening line here).
how about a clan option of an enforced Ratio of Donations vs Requests ?
At the minute my clan has a 2-1 rule (since the very helpful requests - column was introduced ) has worked seemingly well.
For anyone who's still in the dark this would mean you donate 100 troops , your requests are disabled at 200 , you want to request more troops , you donate more... Simples
The ratio could be score based as in higher scores for higher lvl troop donations or just plain troop count , the clan leader could decide on his own preferred ratio by means of the standard clan edit arrows ( trophy entry count ) and the current ratio displayed in the clan info.
you could also give the option to have different ratios per rank, a good example of this would be "new" flagged members have a negative ratio eradicating the flitting leachers, and elders have a higher ratio encouraging members to attain elder status.

Good idea ? Constructive replies plz

I totally disagree. For a clan like mine that donates predominantly archers this would not be good. This ratio, using your example of 100/200, means i would have donated to 20 open requests and would only be able to request 6 times with a lvl 5 cc.

Ratios are a terrible way to judge these things in my opinion. Gross numbers are a far better gauge of who is and isn't active.

Look at it this way, would you rather have a player with 400 donations and 500 requests or a player with 2500 donations and 9000 requests? Clearly, the latter is a much more active player (Not that 400 and 500 is bad. This is just an example.) than the former despite the much more negative ratio, which is fairly normal.

And I absolutely object to any kind of request disabling based on these ratios.

Should not this be in the ideas & suggestions section?

I don't believe a ratio is needed, it's just up to leaders/elders to give players warnings and boots if they are leeching too much.

If someone donates 1,000 troops to the clan I don't care if they take 3,000.

However if someone donates 20, and received 20 in 2 weeks I will want them out - not active enough.

Disagree.

Within a hypothetically active clan, it's ok to donate 10,000 and request 30,000. However it's not okay to donate 50 and request 100.

Go figure.

I currently have a 1173 donation to a 0 request ratio to inspire clam mates to donate more. That's the perfect ratio if you ask me!

Our clan asks people to maintain at least a 1/3 donated/received ratio. That seems to be a good guideline, as although many of us donate far more than we receive, not everyone can be expected to do that.
