We are doubling the effectiveness of a disloyal status placed by anyone rank mademan or above on their crewleader.  This status stay in play up to 30 days after demotion or death of said member.

The general vibe lives on among the halls of the HQ for a little while.  Eventually enough time passes that the opinions of those in the past mean very little that they just fade away.

Originally, a CL got bonuses for things like.. HQ size and member count.

Then we evolved thinking that a mademan is worth more than a gangster... so mademan+ gave extra bonuses.

Then we evolved thinking that a decent checks and balance to keep the CLs loyal to their members would be to not just assume via code that the CL deserves the bonus, but rather let the member pick anonymously in a way that only the member can see and know.

(These are made up numbers to illustrate the point)

Undecided
  Thug - Wiseguy =  0
  Mademan and up =  +1

Disloyal
  Thug - Wiseguy =  -1
  Mademan and up =  -10

Loyal
  Thug - Wiseguy =  +1
  Mademan and up =  +3

Take A Bullet
  Thug - Wiseguy =  +1
  Mademan and up =  +5
  The member, if they are online, in the same location and active at the same time as the CL (and some other non disclosed stuff) can take the bullet from any legit shot (non pro shot), and absorb that damage, die, and only the leftover damage carries over to the CL.  The members BGs do not factor into this.  Sometimes this will take enough heat off of the shot that it doesn't kill the CL.

We geared the numbers so that if the majority of members are Loyal, the CL actually gets more boosts than the previous system.  The goal is that better crewleaders that provide a better family should get the extra boost over those that have a family that doesn't like the leader.  On the flip side, a leader can get much less of the bonuses if they have a few disloyal high rankers.
