Please Kabam: Do something against shells!

Tier 1 AW is full of shell alliances. Why do alliances that don’t participate in wars for a whole season not get their war rating significantly reduced? They just take up the space, honest alliances deserve...

Shells need to go.
It gets murky where they draw the line when it comes to swapping alliances. I honestly don't know any perfect scenario that would 100% put an end to it.
Just like:
how players can own multiple accounts and alliances (or pay botters), and donate to whichever alliance with their side accounts into the treasury for AQ.
They play around the 1 week donation by having multiple alliances (usually 2), and playing AQ in another alliance during off season, and donate to main alliance with side accounts during off season.
Donation dump mules though.. different story..
But they are not necessarily INACTIVE. A Leader (2nd acct of someone) takes the reigns, and they may open it up to anybody to join (and get a bunch of really low level ppl). They may (and probably do ?) do a small amount of wars, if their intention is to lower their WR a little bit, so as to start the next season (restored with their main people) in a slightly lower position (and theoretically little easier matches).
And as one person pointed out, while their Season Points will not be putting them up their in a high overall Season Points Rank position, IT WOULD still take up positions in the in-season Multiplier Tier position (based on WR) and would thus bump some other ally's down to next lower Multiplier Tier, costing those other ally's some points.
** UNLESS Kabam recognizes severely different Ally Summoner Rating/Prestige vs Ally War Rating as falling into that stated “Inactive” category (even if they are doing some wars).
Unless players back up their arguments with facts and reality Kabam is just going to write you off, legitimately.
Check the leaderboards, most shells in high tiers do no do this, the high war rating allies up there are the result of the implementation of donation cool downs or disbanded alliances and are inactive, allies manipulating their war rating are the minority.
And yes I don’t like manipulation either and consider it unsportsmanlike but exaggerating the impact and use isn’t going to make an argument against it stronger, it weakens it.
If they wanted to, they could stack the deck with alt accounts, tank all their games, get the war rating down, and still get good rewards, and then next season hop back into another shell alliance with the lower war rating and then mop up better rewards since they are competing at a lower level, then repeat this forever. How is this fair to alliances that don't play these games?
It doesn't matter if only a few alliances do this, it cheats the system.
