any person who leaves a clan should not be able to join any other clan for atleast 12hrs..this way maybe the spies problem will be stopped...or also the last clan name can be shown on the profile of the player..so that everyone can know where he is coming from.
Players move between clans all the time. Some players have multiple clans. Some never join a clan and get their troops from Request N Go clans. They shouldn't need to wait half a day.Quote:

The solution you're looking for would be to remove the advantage of spying by limiting spectators to the same view war opponents get.
feelimg like a noob after you explained those points....but yes we do need something to stop the spies...hope you guys think of something more meaningful than what i thought :p
Set your clan to invite only and only invite people you're absolutely sure aren't spies? This is what we do and we've never had an issue with them.Quote:

Or just make the enemy clan restricted for duration of prep and war day for those who leave their clan.Quote:

I like this idea. This would solve the spy problem.Quote:

Don't be fooled into thinking that you can determine who is a spy and who is not. As it stands now, anyone you invite into your clan during your war is suspect.Quote:

This seems like the perfect solution to me and deserves to be talked about now.Quote:

If it were to be fixed, I think the best solution is new members can't see traps.
edit: I am illumanti!:smirk:
Exactly, spectators should not be permitted to view clan bases, only replays, perhaps, This is a simple programming code that could make the switch. Or perhaps, spectators should not be able to see the traps and bomb placements.Quote:

Personally, I think (and hope) you're wrong. Supercell has been very clear that they want to maintain a family-friendly, fun game. They expect good sportsmanship and have taken action against players who harass other players, who create offensive base layouts, who put offensive or taunting text in their clan description, who have stolen accounts, or stolen clans under false pretext. Spying often runs counter to this ideal in that many spies use false pretexts to join a clan, and many just as often taunt the clan they've victimized. Spying also cuts down on comradery between clans in that clans must keep their doors close and treat everyone with suspicion. We've never fallen victim to a spy, but we've also never let anyone into our clan to spectate or chat either.Quote:

Another idea is that spectator members can't see the traps in war, but spectator elder and above can. This was if a leader, CO, or elder is out of war but is asked for ideas on how to design a base they can still do so.
Our clan is always in war so waiting for being out of war to recruit doesn't really work.
Spying is a part of real war, so why not game war? I don't see a problem here.
Just close the clan during war. Problem solved!
Is that really the criteria you think Supercell uses when deciding what goes into the game and what doesn't? It's been a while since I attended a world studies class, but I don't remember the wars where there was a ban on swearing. My recollection is that soldiers swore a lot. We even have a saying in English, "swears like sailor," because of it.Quote:

That's what I did in my clan after some people from an enemy clan tried joining us to spy. Change your clan settings to invite only or closed right before you start the war search. Open it back up as soon as the war ends. Haven't had a problem with spies since we started doing that.Quote:

I don't see how OPs suggestion would help.
There is a much better suggestion here:
