If you like the idea, PLEASE reply to the thread! It really helps catch Supercell's attention! I REALLY want this to be implemented into the game, as a clan elder in a mature, hard-working clan. This is something I, and a lot of other people want/need.
First of all, an option to add another clan as a feeder to the main clan. This is really something that is needed. Maybe also a button which moves you from and to the feeder, retaining your units donated, received and also >>elder status<< (not sure about that part).
The leader of the main clan would send a request to the feeder to make it the feeder clan, the leader of the feeder clan would have to accept the request before it happens.
Secondly, some kind of system which doesn't allow you to ask for units until you've donated a certain amount. The clan leader can choose the amount, there is a limit though (20-75?). This goes together well with idea three (explained later why). THIS IDEA ONLY ACTIVATES AFTER THE CLAN'S EXISTED FOR 48 HOURS, THIS IS TO PREVENT NOBODY BEING ABLE TO DONATE.
Third, a more expanded clan ranking system. For example: newbie, member, loyal, elder, co-leader, leader. Etc. Each rank having power over the ranks under them. Because, really: some elders in a clan have a lot more skill, and potential than others: it's a bad thing that only the leader has power over all elders, because in some situations some elders can handle things better than others. These elders should be rewarded with a higher rank. Here's some of the perks with the ranks.
New member (Newbie): just joined the clan.
Member: automatically acquired when a certain amount of units are donated (see idea two), this rank allows you to request.
Loyal: This is a rank which you acquire through promotion, you can now invite people to the clan, and accept/deny requests.
Elder: Also acquired through promotion, you can kick Newbie-Loyal, and you can also demote Loyals if you think that it's needed, also all the powers of a Loyal.
Co-Leader: this rank has a limit of three, acquired through promotion. co-leaders have power over everybody Newbie-Elder, and have all perks that the previous ranks have.
Leader: Same as current leader, power over all other ranks.
This idea allows you to give the people who you trust more some more power than others. I think something like this really is needed...
Fourth (I've added a new idea!)
Separate chat tabs!
One for Newbie and higher.
One for Loyal and higher.
One for Co-Leader and higher.
This is so the more important things can be discussed separately, away from people who don't have to hear them!
Of course, if you're, for example a loyal, you can still talk in the chats for the lower ranks. You don't HAVE TO use the chat for your own rank, because that chat is to discuss things with clanmates with similar ranks.

Fifth (yet another idea!)
A separate section for rules of the clan, the description box doesn't have enough space for rules, and isn't even meant for rules. We need a tiny button to the top-right of the clan description which opens up the rules of the clan.
