Advanced Recruiting

Recruiting in COC is tedious and time-consuming. Also, most new recruits usually leave or get kicked immediately. It is hard to find loyal members of similar levels, or at least desired level for new recruits, in global chat.

Instead of spending hours in global trying to get people to join, Leaders and Co-Leaders could activate a "recruiting mode." While active, your clan would show up as a 'recommended' clan to users searching for a clan. The recruiting period would only last for a limited amount of time, and on top of that there would be a delay for when your clan could start recruiting again. That way the same clans aren't constantly showing up in the search results. Updates to the clan search feature would be necessary for this to work.

On top of searching for a clan by name, there should be advanced search features. When a user enters the search mode they can search for a recommended clan by entering in more search field options other than clan names.

• Recommended clans would be clans that are actively recruiting (the clan is currently in "recruiting mode" as mentioned above)
• Contain members of a similar level
• Match the search field options for: region, desired clan size and desired war frequency.

Hopefully, this would clear global chat of the constant "join here", "free elder", etc., and make room for more productive global conversations(i.e. defense/attack strategy).

In addition to this feature I would also like to propose a new acceptance feature for new members. Instead of just one elder, co, or leader accepting a player, make it so there must be multiple members approving a new member. This could work in a couple of ways, listed as follows:

• Majority vote of elders, co, and leaders. I'm not saying have an official vote by waiting for all elder, co and leader votes, but instead if a certain number of these accept or decline the request, then the player is either accepted or rejected from joining the clan.
• If approved by and elder, co, and leader must also sign off. For example, an elder accepts the initial request, co could accept or decline, and leader could have final say and overturn the co's decision.

Thank for reading, please respond with constructive criticism. I would like to hear which ideas I proposed could be improved upon and why, or which ones are terrible and why. The why is the most important part. Please explain your reasons behind your opinions, rather than just saying "I like it" or "That's stupid".

Your first idea sounds wonderful, as it would be much easier to find someone my level to recruit into my clan.
The second idea however, I think should be something more like this: 2-3 elders approve a new member, and only a single co-leader or leader is needed to approve a new member.
These ideas in general though, are very well thought out and I think should be implemented into the game. :cool:
