To Beachhead from Clan Leaders!

Hello Beachhead,
Now I understand I have brought up some of these issues before and I have seen others bring these things up, but I have a Proposal from Clan Leaders like myself to yourselves. Many clan Leaders are finding it hard to Control their clan Feeds, For myself I find the Clan Feed is extremely Limited as well as Flawed, between it being filled with useless features and lacking many features that will ACTUALLY help Clans, I find it is the time we as Clan Leaders need to come together to Point out what we actually want and to ask Beachhead to not just fix up problems here and there but to actually tell them what we need so we can get a proper Clan system going.
For Clan Leaders k20a3si, LarManKY and want you to Add a Lock Button to the Elite Feed to stop Non Members from Flooding Feed with Invites adn Spam, I want to Expand on another Idea of theirs and Have a Button which Allows Prospective Members to have a Request to Join and then have the Ability to Turn it Off or On, this could in turn be that all a Prospective Member has to Do is Click the Request Invite and All we as Clan Leaders do is Hit Accept Member and Viola they are in, This will avoid the Annoying Fashion of People signing up for Elite and then jumping on the First Clan they see and Asking for an Invite, followed by us Sending an Invite that is never answered as those people never come back on, or as some have pointed out they do try to accept but since there is a Undetermined Time Limit for them to Accept they click accept and it says Request has Expired. The addition the Request to Join feature is just really more of common sense thing, the current system is needlessly complicated. Allowing us to Turn the Button to Invite on and Off will allow us to control how many Members we want in clan as while 100 might sound Nice I find organising events hard enough with 34 Members. (original thread: http://community.callofduty.com/message/205468936#205468936)
Another Aspect I personally want to See on Elite is Multiple Feeds, the Single Feed is Just not working, as stated the single Feed gets Cluttered with Endless Invites and Spam and it just gets in the way having the ability to have multiple Feeds will be like expanding converstations so there will be the ability to actually organise members for Operations and Training, two things I've now switched to Facebook to handle as it's near impossible on Elite. To help with this the power to Delete Messages would aslo be nice, I have messages that I would love to delete as they are quite nasty but I can do nothing about them (Clicking the Report Button is Useless as even if you do process the infringer, the message still reamins while you investigate and also after they are punished it's still there.
On top of the Above I feel another solution is to have the ability to set up times for Events/Training/Operations/Matches. This entails a clander system much like the one in use in Compete, where we can click on a Day set a time and have it easy for members to see what the Clan is up to. In this way it will allow Clan Leaders to easily organise their Clan.
This is all I can think of so far but I want clan Leaders to put anything they want to see in Elite so we can more effectively monitor, maintain, recruit and organise our clans, as I think everyone can Agree the current set up has a lot to be desired.

I Want to Thank Everyone for their Support and Comments, But I think we need to send a Clear and Direct Message to Beachhead, so if you have New/Other Ideas Please Select Reply and if you support don't write your support just click Like to this Message, that Way we can Show Beachhead we are United in wanting Big Changes to Elite and what we Want Changed!
So Please Just Select Like if you Support these and All these Other Ideas!
Oh I also wanna say you have done many things right, the current set up of Members and The Clan Ops section (while a bit bulky) is great, I also want to Thank you for removing the Ban List as per a previous thread of mine, I don't want to make you feel like you have done a bad job, you just need to start looking at what we Clan Leaders actually need now that we have had a few months to see what is missing, perhaps another thing you might consider is to have sit down (online of course) and to listen to Clan Leaders directly and discuss the situation.
I agree. Also what would be nice is hierarchy of clan members. As a small clan of only 6 people its difficult to invite new people. I ended up sharing the password for my account so that the other 5 in my clan could invite people. It would be nice if you could have co-leaders or some way of promoting people to have the ability to manage the clan.
I have heard that they will be introducing option to Promote captains, to do just that, still not sure if it's true, it's just a rumor I heard, but it is Great Ideaso if it's coming Whoot! If it's not it needs to come!
Also a way to post some rules or messages longer than the message of the day. And please, I need a way to be able to send a message to all clan members. I have 83 members and not enough room on my friends list for them all. So in order to send messages to everyone it must be done individually, not an easy task.
I'm glad someone else brought this up agree totally, I have Members who have Full Friends Lists on PSN, I think they need to have a way you can select Members and you just hit Send to PSN or XBLA so that once they log on or are on they get instant awareness.
Also I feel they need to add another option in game as well, when you select a Clan Member you get Invite to Game and Join Game but I need to be able to Send Messages, for instance If I'm in Middle of a Training Match and we are doing FFA Headshots Only then want to switch to Shotguns only or to TDM I can't do it without Mic ad since sometimes my mic is Flat I then need do some of their Long and C0MPL1_CAT3D Names in from memory while also trying to maintain flow of the matches, so please add a Option to just send a PSN message and perhaps even add a way to tell clan Members what the rules in Private Match will be as only I know what changes I've made.
So Basically adding more ways to Contact Members Directly would be Awesome (nd not just Game Invitations).
Beachhead Please Comment or Something... we have needs and one of them right now is the need for you to listen and to discuss...
As a clan leader helping out the original clan leader. I only want 4 things. 1. A better way to communicate to 99 members. 2. A way to end spam on the elite feed. 3. A better way to accept and send invites to respectable members. 4. A clan hireachy system needs to be implemented. I'm sure some of these fixes aren't unresonable.
I agree with everything you all have said so far!!! Amen brother!
As someone mentioned, there needs to be a "rank system" of sorts added. At least two tiers for clan leaders that say - Can't be on for a week and the clan would like to enlist for something - or even accept new members into the clan. All of these abilities without having to relinquish the passwords would be great.
