Clan poll- Vote on clan decisions.

I am aware that two or three other threads have been made on this, but were extremely vague and were not on the same line as what I am about to suggest.

When deciding whether or not to kick someone, clan decisions, push seasons, changing things within the clan, or deciding whether or not to create a sister clan, it can take FOREVER to get all of your clanmate's opinions.

The solution to this: A clan poll.

A clan poll scan only be sent by the leader. When a poll is sent, it will appear in the inbox like a clan message. For example:

Your clan leader has sent you a poll!
I now proceed to log onto clash of clans.

Respond to this poll within 1 week
to avoid being demoted or kicked.
YES-------------------------NO

As you can see, this would also be useful in determining who is active in the clan. The leader would be able to view the clan results in his inbox. Inside of the poll box, there would be a display for x number of no hits and x number of yes hits. By tapping on the poll, the leader would get a pop- up screen displaying which members voted for what.

The screen would look a little like this:

Poll Results:
_________
Julez, nrules, colobloski29, yourmom, nurseangell, mopper, briten, devin, sirmason
____
Manny, collzies, nertur5, m3
_________________
m0r0n, kilor, mipple, julen, dillon, masterkiff, mool, pigger, 23fd, kalog you, soker,sjid, ss5, mi, tup, y3rmum

The grey bar indicates members who have not yet voted.

Now you can see the overall view of which choice is more popular based on color code as well as why voted for which option underneath the graph display.

EVEN MORE USEFUL!!!
When creating a poll, the leader has the option to toggle 'Send to all members' or 'send to elders'. If an issue (Such as kicking a member) needs to be polled among the elders, it can be done without any other members knowing.

When the leader is sending the poll, they have the option to select the duration of the poll- how long it will appear in the inbox for. They can chose anywhere from 1-7 days. However, more than one poll cannot exist in the inbox at a time, and polls cannot be canceled early. So, if a leader sends a poll with a duration of 3 days, and then tries to send another poll the next day, they will be unable to send the poll because another poll already exists.

Please let me know what you think, and, uh, vote in the poll! Hehehe. :)

It sounds good to me. Would the decision be automatic or can the leader change their mind about it later?

The clan leader can change their mind. The poll is just for the clan leader to see what the clan thinks about it, not to make an automated action when the poll is finished.

This is a really good idea. +1

Thanks for support.

Would love to see this added

This is awesome! Would be a great addition. Keep it up Julez!

EDIT: Is the link in my sig correct?:rolleyes:

Good idea +1! And I like the sound of your forum group! (reminds me of the police :eek:)

Yes it works boss ;).

Even though there is 8 people in my clan (my friends) and everyone has elder(so we never have to kick someone or promote), I still think this would be incredibly useful. If Clan Wars was ever put in it could be useful for voting on wheather to go to war or not.(In all of the Clan Wars threads it has the leaders have to accept war first.) Great idea!

Absolutely love this

edit: why did i quote op? :confused:

+1. Simple and elegant: I like it.

Thank you for support!

Great Idea! more input from the rest of the clan would be awesome

Great idea

Okay- whoever is saying no, could you please give feedback as to WHY NOT. It's annoying to see negative votes and no one has commented saying WHY.

Great idea, and can only help! Would love for this to be implemented.

Thanks!

And the negative votes continue to rise, with no comments as to why...

It seems like a good idea but I don't think it should make a change it should just be used for the leader to see elders/members opinions. Three other things that I think would be good are: when its only elder can vote the leader has the option to also let members see it but not vote,the leader can only do one every 8 hours (could be different) to prevent the leader of spamming polls, and the leader can see who exactly voted for what.
Overall its a great idea that would help the leader see the thoughts of its members.

I'm not sure what you mean by make a change?

I think that allowing members to see polls but not vote would be too complicated to code.

There is a 24 hour cooldown for sending polls... Not sure you read that part.

I like all of the aspects you brought up with the Poll Message system, except one. Some members may go on vacation for over a week, this resulting in a kick of that player, I suppose they can simply rejoin but this is something to keep in mind..

Good idea, but I don't like the idea of respond to this or you get kicked.

I like this idea and I think it should be implemented. Although my major concern is that there are things that I think should be a bigger priority to SC rather than this.

It isn't something where action is taken automatically... The leader has the option to act based on the results from the poll.

In my clan, I always have members tell me when they're going to be away...

However, it is ultimately the clan leaders decision as to what is typed in the poll. Heck, he could send a poll saying 'click yes if you like puppies.' It's the leaders choice.

Supercell took time to implement elder kick cooldown time. I think that they can handle this...

LOVE IT. i dont like the idea of clan leaders having absolute power and this would help alot

Well, usually a member will say 'I'm gonna be gone for a week'...

I love this! As a clan leader, I try to "Spice" up the clan chat and introduce new things such as what people's interests are and ask if they want a sister/brother clan.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!

I like the idea, but i think there are other clan accessibility tweaks that should be added first. Many clans use glassboard which is frankly a better way to do this.
If there were a "clan communication" update package, i would wholeheartedly agree with including this.

What do you mean by 'clan communication'? Would this mean members are able to send messages back and forth within the clan?

I like this idea, but feel that it would be too hard to code...

I think this will be a really good idea, but clan elders should also be able to bring up polls. Also, getting demoted or kicked if you don't reply is a very bad idea. People might want to not vote as they don't like the choices or the poll itself. Overall, its a really good idea, with some changes it would be really good.

Damn, this idea is not bad. As this would help me save my time on finding the inactives.

You might want to add that you can send personal messages to each other within the clan

Another person has suggested this, but in all it would be too hard to code for supercell, and could lead to issues with the server (overload/lag).

I've already mentioned that the leader decides what to type into the poll. A poll could be sent to clan members saying 'click yes if you like puppies'. It's the leaders decision.

Not in favor of elders being able to send polls.

Also: There isn't an automatic decision made as a result of the poll. If the leader were to send a poll saying 'click yes or no if you are active', there's no way for a member 'not to like' to choices. They simply respond to the poll to prove that they're still active in the clan.

This is a great idea! This would be so useful for many things such as moving clans, merging clans, if someone should be elder, etc. I totally support this idea.

Actually lots of games have private messages. They are helpful. Maybe a pm thing in chat and if people could send mail to each other. Elders and leaders can send mail to the whole clan.

Eh. Maybe. I've noticed that most of these games are on computer/laptop, but supercell may add player messaging when they implement clan wars.

this would be very, very usefull

How many email accounts you got? :confused:

This is an amazing idea! A lot of clans have websites and forums and such, but they aren't really active, and I think this could be very helpful!

Thanks! I think it would also help with upcoming clan wars.

I have read a few of these clan poll ideas and yours is the most thought out that i have found so far.

Some questions/suggestions on how polling may work:
1. Wouldn't it be better to have the responses be anonymous rather than a list of name on who voted for what? a simple bar graph or number next to each option would do the trick. Listing out the name of someones choice could cause more unnecessary clan drama for some questions.

2. Just have a list of people that do not respond so you know who is inactive or did not care to vote.

3. To avoid excessive polls only allow 1 poll in a clan at a time. Have preset timeouts on the polls that must be selected before starting a poll ie. 1 day, 3 days, 7 Days. When the time is up the poll closes, results sent and a new one may be started.

4. When the poll times out would the results be sent to the person that initiated the poll or would the results be published in a clan message. Maybe make an option for this in the creation of the poll?

5. Would all polls have to be binary? only 2 options possible. ie. yes/no or this/that
Personally I would like all polls to be binary makes creating and answering them easier

Julez can you edit your first message to include some of the answers to questions that needed clarifying, prevents people from asking the same questions over and over again in the forum.

1. Well, the leader is the only one who can see who voted for what- if the whole clan could see who voted for what it would certainly cause issues.

2. Well, I suppose that you could have a grey bar underneath the feedback graph displaying who has not voted yet (For the leader to view, of course).

3. I like that- good idea! I didn't think about the possibility of having multiple polls existing in the inbox at once. That would certainly cause clutter. Perhaps the leader could chose between 1-7 days, and when the previous poll ends the leader has the ability to send a new one out. A poll cannot be 'canceled' or ended early.

4. The leader can send a separate clan message disclosing the results of the poll if they wish. The leader is the only one who can create a poll.

5. Yes. All polls would be binary. Having any more than 2 options would cause unnecessary confusion and clutter.

Thanks for your feedback!

Great idea Julez! I have a couple of suggestions;

1.) first off, make a coleader only poll too, I bet it'd be useful
2.) choose answers other than just yes and no, on subjects like who should be promoted
3.) if the leader sends a poll for all members that ends in 7 days and needs to send to elder+ or coleaders, the limit for polls is only restricted for that type, so a clan can have three active polls, though only leader/coleader would see them all

1. Yes- there is the option to 'Send to all', 'Send to promoted', or 'send to co-leaders'.

2. No. Sorry, but having multiple options would be too confusing- a simple binary poll with set responses would limit confusion and decrease the chance of there being issues.

3. Interesting- but I have mixed feelings on this. Will think about it.

Ok. I think a simple solution to the limited binary polls would be a elder+ chat. Maybe I'll think of a way to incorporate it in a better way than everyone else. Also 3. Is because leader may need to ask if a war is in order AND if anyone needs to get the boot at the same time.

As a clan leader, it's tough to get the opinions of your members. The Chat log only holds so much and if you don't log on all the time you can miss part of the discussion. And if you announce something for the inbox you still have to deal with the chat log for discussion.

The ability for leaders and co-leaders to initiate polls would be invaluable.

-MG

I definatly want this implemented, and I just want to know, can coleaders do this, and can you change the description of the poll? +1 nevertheless

'When deciding whether or not to kick someone'

The poll is gonna appear in their inbox too! If they see it then what will happen? They'll get angry and start being abusive or just leave immediately, so these polls need to be customised so they only go to certain inboxes.

This would be a GREAT solution to add a management dimension to the clan to help with the "duties" (if you will) to coordinate and satisfy the desires of 45 individuals in a clan. LOVE the idea!!!

great feat ....i love to see that .

This would be incredibly helpful. Maybe we should have a send to co-leader too. Or send to all. How about you can select what rank you want to send it to, and also if you want you can individually select voters. Overall, this is a great idea and I would love to see it in my clan.:)

I think that should be in there, but I'll make it more clear.

Thanks for the input and support everyone, keep it coming!

Sorry,this IDEA has been ruled out by....















NOBODY:rolleyes:

Nice IDEA Julez

One of the best ideas EVER!!!

Sounds interesting, but hard to implement. We'll look at improvements to clans in the future, but cannot make any promises at this point.

Oohhh! An admin! Thanks for the reply Steve. I can see how this might be hard to implement, thanks for replying!

Maybe a send to co leaders as well

nice idea hope its implimented

This is more necessary than the hero nerf update.

This is good~ I like it~:)

This is a good idea. It could also be used by (co)leaders to poll if the clan is ready for war at a certain date/time which would remove the need for those threads that request the opt out to clanwar for members.
I love to see this in future.

We've been having such a need for this recently! Our clan system is majorly democratic, and as such we run the clan with a lot of voting and public choice. (By democratic I mean democracy and choice of the people, not the major US political party.)

It would be so much easier for us to vote on clan motions if we had a clan poll rather than having to catch every single member when they're online and wait for a response. I'm sure that many others can relate when debating things such as going to war, clan opinion on a push or other comp, and opinions on merging with another clan.

Because it's harder for the members to maintain a third- party app for voting and communication. In- game integration would make everything so much smoother and easier.

I dont know, it's worked really well for the clan I'm in. Also helps for war and claiming bases
