Clan War Etiquette

So in war today, we had the opponents #2 come join our clan and leave 5 minutes after. Presumably they were scouting our bases to see where our traps and bombs were, as they conveniently attacked me right after and avoided my bombs perfectly. I'm sure most people have experienced this.

My proposal is that Supercell makes it so that you cannot join the opponents clan during war.
I understand this problem is something that can be avoided by switching to "Invite-only" or "closed" during war. However as a developing clan who does war very frequently, we would really prefer to stay "open".

Scouting the other clan like this is just a really cheap way of playing, and it almost resulted in my 18-0 clan's first loss. I feel like it's not a part of the game that Supercell wants us to use as strategy, so it would make sense to be made impossible.

"Spying" is a legitimate strategy and it's not going to stop. That's the risk you run by leaving your clan "open".

You should have your clan closed during battle day. Not to sound snipey but I kinda think that's on you for letting him in. Also on prep day always have a few things (especially traps) moved around on your base. And while you are at it if they want to come in and take notes let them. Then just before battle starts yu close your clan and set everything back. They will then be basing their attack on false notes.

I completely understand what you both are saying. I understand it's on us as it stands right now. That's not my point.

My point was that it really isn't a legitimate strategy. It's something that has resulted due to a loophole that people realized. The legitimate strategy is scouting in the actual clan war page.

Regardless, I was more just interested in seeing other peoples' opinions. So I appreciate yours, and see that likely many people disagree with me.
