Idea for the Forums

Something I've noticed recently, although I'm sure it's happened for a while, is players commenting on threads that perhaps they shouldn't. Here's what I mean....

A player asks in a thread "should I upgrade to TH9 now?" and gets 20 responses. 1/2 of the people aren't TH9 and end up giving horrible advice, but the poster follows the advice since most people seemed to say it was ok. Once the TH upgrade completes, the player realizes asking on forums was a silly idea and level 6 walls are no good for TH9.

So, could we please link player profile information with forum accounts? I'm not sure what the validation part looks like, but I think it would provide a lot of benefit if done. Players would be able to make an educated decision on who's advice they should follow and who's they should not.

I understand what you are saying. I would love to have my clash account linked to my forum account, but people on here usually know what they are talking about. If you were to ask the question" Shud I go to TH 9?" you would be spammed with responces saying" NONONONONONO MAX OUT EVERYTHING"

Maybe we have a different forum experience. People who are on here regularly, yes, have lots of knowledge. But you will never be able to help the newer players from coming on here and asking for or giving advice that perhaps they shouldn't.

You won't find any questions of that nature from me, as I would ask my clan instead if I were to have them. I just feel like there are often times were advice is given/taken when people shouldn't have done so. Not the norm, but happens often enough that I think it would help.
