...if they have already joined another neighborhood? For example, if I request to join a neighborhood, then I join another neighborhood, a few minutes later the first neighborhood presses reject. Why not press accept and let the request go away? Do people enjoy making others have a list of neighborhoods that they have been rejected from?
Maybe pressing accept doesn't make the request go away? Either that or the people check if you're in a hood, see that you are, so they reject because they don't think accept would do anything.Quote:

Maybe they did not want to accept you. That is the point of the request to join, having the ability to reject.Quote:

Probably not, why would anybody give a flying duck about your list of rejects?Quote:

Do you take it personally? Just don't, there's no reason to. They don't know you.
The first farm you asked to join, can't tell that you joined another hood. The request to join is not removed from chat.
No one likes rejecting, but if a farm doesn't look like it'll fit into the hood, players who ask to join will be rejected. This is especially true (at least in our hood) if the request comes right before the start of a derby. If the farm asking to join has a combination of idle machines, starving animals, dozens of dead trees, a low town level, and is largely unexpanded, we're going to reject.
Right before the start of the current derby, we accepted a player whose farm met some of those criteria. And, it was a mistake. Leaders spent most of the evening trying to get the player to agree to derby rules (spelled out in our recruitment ad & in the town description) without luck. So, we ended up evicting them three hours before the derby started.
It would have been better for all if we'd simply rejected their request to join.
Maybe Supercell could come up with better terms than reject & evict? Those words are harsh. But, telling someone you don't think their farm would fit into your hood works to the benefit of the hood as well as the player asking to join.
I have to say what this poster describes is clash of clan's behaviour, he has the same question on clash forum. It contradicts what RockingG stated above.Quote:

Accepting join requests after they join another NH does erase the request from chat.
Thanks myso.
If I guess correctly, the reject notification would go to the message tab (where player receives invite to join) and would stay for approximative 2 months.
Or 50 rejection entries. :smirk:Quote:

Ouch, that seems rather harsh! Who wants to see a reject message for months?Quote:

Okay, I think what is being described is a logic in the game. If you send out several requests to join, when one is accepted, the program removes the other outstanding ones and automatically rejects them. Why? Because you are in a nh now and are no longer able to be accepted by another nh. Otherwise, the seconds, third nh to accept you would remove you from the other nh. That is, poach you from a nh you are in because of an old request to join. Thus, when you become a member of a nh, any outstanding requests to join other nh are rejected so they can't accept you, automatically adding you to the nh while you are in another nh.
Recently our neighbourhood received a request to join. We now have the option to visit that farm - a real improvement - before we accept or reject. When I did that, the farm was already in another neighbourhood. Their request to join ours had been made only a short while before, so they must have made at least two requests at around the same time.
I therefore rejected the request - it never occurred to me that the rejection would have an impact on the farm concerned. That rejection continued to show on our chat until it dropped off the end.
Some days later we had another request to join from another farm. Again, it was already in another neighbourhood. That time, as an experiment, I accepted the request. I got a message that said "this farm is already in a neighbourhood", and the request to join disappeared from the chat.
Hope this helps!
No, the game doesn't reject you automatically. I was rejected almost 10 minutes after I joined another neighborhood, and the name of the person that rejected me showed up.Quote:

Thing is, that first hood you requested to join has no way of KNOWING that you chose not to wait for their response and went elsewhere. Thus, rejecting is the best option if the farm doesn't fit into the hood. (My opinion is it's far better to reject now than evict later.)Quote:

My opinion is if someone can't wait for 10 minutes to join our awesome hood, they probably don't belong. :) We sure don't want anyone who jumps hoods.
