I totally agree, we have players that won't help and wont opt out but do want to reap the benefits, which isn't fair on our hard working players! Why not give leaders an option to opt these players out? Isn't that why we are leaders?! So we can improve our hoods!Quote:

I completely agree with this! Default should be their responsibility to OPT IN. It makes sense that supercell doesn't want to give too much power, but if leaders can opt out players, then they can merely opt back in when they're active.Quote:

Ok, I don't even get why there's a big debate on this, NH leaders can kick, promote/demote members already (thus selecting who can or can't manage tasks in the derby). Why is it such a big deal to allow leaders to opt in/out members for the next derby.
At least by opting a member out, you could have the chance to explain to that member why he/she has been excluded from the derby, right now the only way is to kick them out and they will probably have no clues on why they have been kicked, so might be offended.
May be another way would be that only elders and above could participate ?
Or introducing a new rank below member like "prospect" so that members can participate but still cant manage tasks on the board wich requires you to be an elder.
Clearly something needs to be done, because comming in the last 3 and beeing demoted in derby leagues because 3 new players joined and did'nt opt out is pretty disapointing. Especially when you worked hard weeks before to get those additional tasks and horseshoe rewards.

Emergencies occur, life happens and us addicts go on playing. Leaders need to access to opt members out.
As a leader I should kick them out, when I could just opt them out? Doesn't make sense. :mad: This Derby has already divided the HD players from the hardcore derby players and we want more control of the game.
Yes. If my derby play or town or boat or roadside shop activities (or lack thereof) don't fit with the neighbourhood, kick me out. My game settings are my own and I am not ok with someone else changing them. Control of my farm should rest with me.Quote:

We can always kick someone out of the neighborhood, but that sends a negative message to the person, when all we want them to do is sit out.Quote:

"Ah, the laid-back country life, full of fresh produce and furry animals. But just like most small towns, the best part of life here has got to be the friendly neighbors. Hear the team talk about how community isn’t just part of the game, it’s also at the heart of the design process."
So if the best part are the friendly neighbours, and the community is part of the design process - why is it that Supercell is insisting that we kick out our friendly neighbours and family instead of being able to opt them out! I am assuming that they are more for the ultra-competitive NHs and not for the NHs who have community and friendship as per their SuperCell's own description of Hay Day above.
I am a co-leader and we have about 12 inactive members currently. These people are family, friends and strangers who have become friends. Chances are some of them will come back in a few months and some of them never will, but in our community we want to give them the chance and not kick them to the kerb!
Nick, your argument that leaders shouldn't have so much power (Really!!) as it would cause contention is ridiculous. Supercell is basically saying that it is better to expel someone from the NH than Opt them Out??? Illogical and completely contradictory to the above description. If the leader is that bad then the members will leave and form another NH with a better leader - we did. Your other argument for the poor people who happen to sleep in when the derby starts is also illogical - you are referring to active players who are not the problem, the major problem is with inactive players who are by default Opted In - SuperCell needs to take this situation in account and either give leaders the access to Opt players out or have a regular update that automatically opts players out if they are inactive longer than 30 days for example.
Currently the situation is that NHs who have a friendly community are disadvantaged and as a family friendly game I would have thought that would have been taken into account.
PS: Please post your email address so that all those kids who want to play with their Moms, Dads, Cousins etc can complain directly to you when they get kicked out of their NHs because they went playing something else for a month and didn't take part in a few derbies!
