Would a purely democratic clan work?

clan leader should have all the power he wants, that way it's possible to get things done quickly.

Given that the members abide by clear rules of conduct, there should be no disputes capable of killing the clan. (Why would anyone be in the clan if they are not ready to accept majority rule and the rules set by the clan?) I'd really like you to elaborate.
The fact that leaders get productive things done quickly is a double-edged sword. A leader can kill a clan equally quick. Having no leaders is not just about everyone having equal power, but also about everyone bearing equal responsibility.
Lugnut:
sounds good and bad, primarily because of speed issues in a leader-based system
the GBLD is currently suffering downtime as our leader is also our host, so no one can do anything.

Someone would still have to be permanently in charge of any topic created, so if they weren't around, things could still die off easily.

Nothing prevents having a rule on how the topic is dealt with and what responsibilities the owner of the topic has towards the clan. Things like these would be found in the constitution of the clan.
I nonetheless agree that this is the most likely way the clan would die.
