Cool down for rejoin a clan: A solution to cool down elder

Since the new update, complaints have been seen about the cool down of elder kicking members. most of the complaints comes from the situation where an unwanted player join and get kicked but he rejoined the clan repeatedly, leaving the elders no means to fight back. so here is the idea of solving this:

Simply add a cool down for rejoin the same clan after been kicked or left. the cool down time is exactly the same (maybe more) as the cool down time for kick.

some change:

Thanks for the feedback. I think SC can design it in a way that a player has a cool down to enter any previously entered clan within 30 mins.

No the cooldown may work, just simply it stays for the next 12 to 24 hours he was kicked from

Yep the clan joining cool down is a much better idea than the elder kicking cool down.

The joining clan cool down should be about a couple hours like 5 or 10.:D

Thx for reading and im in a clan called devil boarderz you can join if you want, read clan bio for rules-Dra03

Its a good idea but you simplify the problem instead of making it double complicated.. You know it, To give the leader the option if he want the cooldown for his elders or not

I would say that is a brilliant idea too! The option of distinguish one elder from anther by assigning different levels of administration right is essentially a clan title system change(or ranking, hierarchy, whatever you call it). So if this is a good idea, I wonder why SC did not give us a co-leader position in the most recent update anyway.

This is definitely a better idea than the elder cool down.

The only issue we have had with elders kicking a lot of members was when an elder accidentally promoted someone instead of kicking them (he hit the wrong button). We instructed other elders that if this happens, to quickly promote other known members to prevent them from being kicked, the leader would just demote them later after the initial "bad egg" was kicked.

Regardless, I just kicked an unwanted member a few minutes ago and presto, he joined 5 seconds later and talked trash. What can I do? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

My clan promotes vetted people to be elders, and every elder NEEDS to have the ability to kick unwanted/bad members out.

PLEASE REMOVE THE COOL DOWN FOR KICKING and IMPLEMENT A COOL DOWN FOR RE-JOINING AFTER BEING KICKED.

This needs to be done, you guys have removed the ability for elders to look out for their clans. Soometimes the clan leader cannot log on and fix a problem, and even after he kicks someone, they just log right back in!!!

Not all leaders can sit there and keep repeatedly kicking vulgar or unwanted members for minutes or hours at a time.

I like the "co-leader" suggestion. This would solve a lot of issues by allowing 1 person (and only 1 person) to be promoted as co-leader. Any more than one person allowed and it just becomes the "new elder" role which defeats the idea of letting a second person have more power.

The cooldown for elder should be kept. And cooldown to join a new clan is also good :).

So bad elders can't kick and hoppers cannot join :D

Bad elders can be dealt with, or not promoted, the bigger issue here I'd that no one, not even the clan leader can ban someone from a clan. A ban should be implemented, available to the clan leader, and a 6-12 hour cool down should be implemented on booted members (unless the clan leader sends an invite.

A bad member can repeatedly join, and the ONLY option is to make the clan invite only or raise the trophies so high that it is hard for other members to join. Neither of these options are conducive to growing a healthy clan.

elder cool down is not as big a deal as having a several hour cool down for people who have been kicked. A ban would also be nice

Agree 100%. Elder cool downs are great for bad clan managers, bans are a great idea to keep problems out permanently, and clan cool downs are a great idea to help active clans manage hoppers. Active clan management can address all of these, but wouldn't you rather focus your efforts on stabilithy and growth over managing habitual problems?

This is why I can't really kick people from our clan. It's the only thing I hate about the update. Supercell, do it!!!

It's called "Invite Only".

Have more trusted elders, or a more active leader. The cooldown doesn't apply to the leader.

+1 to adding Rejoin cooldown.

It works, and no need to take out the elder cooldown, it is fine.

The best idea i heard was to give leader option if they want their elders to be subject to the cool down. If he does and clan gets booted he knew risk. Until this is done set cool down to one minute during maintenance break.

Our leader is very active but people have lives and can not be expected to be on 24/7. Our clan is set to invite but we still accept groups of people if they send join request. This a game. Our clan management to kick members who do not fit our style of play. If thats not your cup of tea stay in your own clan and do not criticize our style of play. We like it!

Specially now that we have found that any member can invite. Or, let the leader disallow invites for members. We have an annoying person joining repeatedly and can't do much about it since we don't know who is inviting him.

As stated above, you may not have a life, but everyone in my clan does. Our leader is active, but works nights and during the day we sometimes have losers join, get booted and then rejoin.

A clan shouldn't have to be forced to "invite only" just to get rid of a few bad eggs. When the clan is open, you can acquire many good members, and meet people who enjoy playing this game. People you never would have met if it was invite only.

Bottom line, institute a re-join cool down (after being kicked), and I suggest removing the elder cool down, or at least making it optional.

We might as well add cooldowns to everything :rolleyes:

What about YOU set it on invite only....

The problem is that there are people who visit clans and it would suck for them to have to wait.

AMEN! TheEmperor usually make them wait. why? Because TheEmperor likes it

I think it should be when you're kicked you're temporarily banned from the clan in the clan settings the leader sets, leader can set minimum you're banned for 30 minutes, up to 72 Hours.

There should be a cool down for joining clans in general; this means you can only join a clan every so often (maybe 30 minutes or an hour).

How about having a ban list? This would prevent harassers when the clan is in "any one can join" mode. Like when you kick someone, or when someone leaves, you can click on the name and an extra option of adding his/her to a ban list. Then they can't join again.

So basically I cannot get rid of dead weight because of a few idiots who kick on mass? :mad:

Again, a clan shouldn't be FORCED to set invite only, just because a couple of butt-hurt losers keep trying to join. I don't care if someone wants to visit a clan, but if they are KICKED, there should be a cool-down for them to rejoin the clan that they were kicked from.

Ok, I am actually ok with the elder cool-down, maybe 10 mins instead of 30 mins but whatever.

A permanent ban option would be great too, for well known losers who keep coming back just to curse or talk other trash to members.

Growing clans rely on open enrollment to gain members. It is important, and another type of mechanism needs to be implemented to prevent un-wanted members from joining.

Well established clans are fine with invite only because they are not looking for any new members.

I got the solution its call "INVITE ONLY":rolleyes:

fully grown clan may like the invite only set up but for the protection of many new clans which are open to public by setting everyone can join, the cool down of rejoin a clan will drive out the unwanted hoppers.

Problem with that is that elders cant change the clan details... If leader is offline for a while, there is nothing they can do

I was thinking the exact same thing

The solution is a clan configurable option that allows the leader to choose the elder kick cool down.

The cool down is not set to 24 hrs or so, but just a short time, say, like the same time as the cool down for elders, 30 mins. visitors are good to go in 30 mins, it is relatively acceptable.

I support the both of the , "Clan leader chooses to turn on or off the elder cooldown" and, "clan rejoin if kicked cooldown of at least 30 minutes".

Here is why we need both:
I had a situation this morning where 2 friends decided to join and then harrass our clan. At the time, I was the only elder online. So, I kicked one - per our leaders rule setup. This made both of them mad and they started cursing and being rude. I'm stuck without the leader(I'm central time - he's pacific and it was 6am central) to lock the clan down and no amount of elders(when the elder cooldown is on) can control two jerks who want to rejoin and harrass again 2 seconds after being kicked. We are a PG family friendly clan with many young members(by choice), and elders cannot, "protect the clan chat" adequately. This happens to our clan a lot. Even before the elder cooldown, our main issue was with jerks who continually want to join, harrass, get kicked, join, harrass, get kicked, etc. If you are kicked, you should not be able to rejoin the clan kicked from for at least 30 minutes. I have seen many support the elder cooldown, but in the several months I've been in our clan, we have never had a mass kick. Give the leader the choice, and - cool off the hotheads who get kicked!

Thanks!
