New clan member time limit

add the option for the clan leader to impose a time limit on new members within reason. Something like this:

The clan leader has imposed a time limit for new members. You cannot request troops until you have been in this clan for 30 minutes.

The options could include 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours. 12 hours could be done as well, but I think that would be pushing it. It would only apply to members with a NEW tag in the clan and only be restricted for the time limit set by the leader. Changing the limit after a member has joined would not impact the person that has already joined. The way to get around this for a new member the leader wants to keep would be simple. Allow the leader to promote to member. This would remove the new tag thus removing the time restriction.

B.O.B.

This is not that necessary. I mean, why not just say to them directly. Or message them..

I can see your thinking but I don't really think that's a good idea for all clans. My old clan would probably abuse that idea

Or... Not give troops to people who just joined.

say what, you cant request for this time frame? Its easier to write a few lines of code to do this for you. It adds more control for the clan leader as well. Its a good idea.

It cant be abused. There is a max limit of 6 or 12 hours. Changing the time limit wont affect those who already joined. It wont last longer than the time that was set when the person joined. It would only apply to persons labeled 'new' in the clan list for the set period that applied when they joined.

To make it even better, if the new member donates 20 troops within the restriction period the restriction would be lifted.

How could it be abused? This is designed to discourage hopping. All the other suggestions just say to ignore it, this isnt an option in a good community.

All I am saying is that it would be great. But you can't please everyone.

Fully understand it wont please all, but you do agree it would be good.

Hi! Or maybe not.

What issue it this meant to fix? If it's new member troop requests, I've always liked the idea of having an option for leaders to set donation ratios. Some examples:

• For every 1 troop donated you can receive 1 troop. 1:1 ratio.
• For every 1 troop donated you can receive 10 troops. 1:10 ratio.
• For every 10 troops donated, you can receive 1 troop. 10:1 ratio.

This would force member participation in a clan and reduce freeloaders or hoppers taking troops. Leaders should also be able to disable the ratios completely. Personally, I don't care to give someone troops after they join so long as they donate back.

Its not a ratio restriction and having one is not a good idea.. My idea's design is meant to persuade newcomers to participate and slow/stop the hopping by giving the leaders an option to require a person to be in a clan for a set time to request troops, under 6 hours. It wont hurt anyone. I guarantee if this is put in the game, 85% of the clans with over 20 members would use it in some capacity.

Topherccino make up your mind. You say you do support it then you dont. Flip flopping makes your opinion less persuasive and less credible.
