I'm not advocating forcing anyone to adhere to anything, but a loose, standard 'canon' of how long it takes between seasons and World Cups. A 'default' option, from which people can deviate if they wish - but a few opt-outs are going to be easy to keep track of, rather than everyone just having their own way of dealing with the desynch.
Right now, my suggestion for a 'default' would be 2:3. It's the best compromise between the most common 1:2 and 2:4 systems, though it might alienate 1-year-per-WC users. It uses whole numbers. It also preserves the feeling that, like... absolutely a WC should be further apart than a single season, and really, a season can't stretch over more than two years.
I think it'd be fine to have a default option. Granted I say this as a person that wouldn't adhere to it anyway, but if the lot of you want to have like a consensus scale with a few outliers, there's nothing bad about it.
