It was designed as a 'security camera' if you will, to provide evidence in the case of a legal incident. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to be changed.

Hopefully they will remove the report button in the upcoming update!
My advice (probably thes best one you can have regarding clan building) is, don't recruit on global.
OP I just read your clan thread and sorry to say that its not going to get you any new recruits, take a look at what some of the successful forum clan have done and try and copy them, pictures help a lot. Also If your starting a new wing with just you in it you will fail, you need to get a few good members to partially fill it. Also you must get some of the clan members to keep bumbling the thread with some nice posts to help it stay closer to the top so interesting players can see it.
Its really difficult to start a new clan or wing, don't think that there is a magic fill clan with good players button. Dont even bother trying to fill it up with global noobs, all they will mostly do is zero donate and hop once they have taken as many troops as they can from you or worse stay and do their global nonsense in your clan, sad but true.
Do you really want the sort of noobs that have banned you from global to join your clan?
I've never been banned from global, and all I do is tell fart jokes.... Coincidence? I think not!
I recruit regularly on Global (Germany) and I have never been banned.
It's pretty much the same everytime there.
People asking to join clans, people offering free spaces in their clans.
Never heard of any other recruiter of my clan being banned either.
I tend to chat on global or at least follow what is going on as that does give something to do while waiting on troops and keep online. So far I have never seem anyone request anyone to be reported due to recruiting or their level. I have been clan leader and elder doing recruiting, also been in crystal and have not been banned once. I do not know if one gets a notification if some would report me.
Only times I have seen someone ask others to reports someone has been after the two parties have gotten to a fight and thrown insults.
German global and English global can be very different. I, for example, am on the Thai global. Even though I don't talk much, when I do, during my six or so months in Clash of Clans, I have never gotten banned. The conversations are actually okay and people get along most of the time.
