Why was I banned?

For those posters that keep telling me it was my responsibility - Hopefully this same thing happens to you. Then maybe you will begin to understand that this is an absolutely horrible policy. Guilt by association is no way to treat your customers.

Am pretty sure you could've gotten banned because of player names/base designs/inflammatory-derogatory etc description not just at the perfect time of ban but maybe when the complaint was lodged.

So yeah, playing nice for a day or two won't help.

Wat?

Thank you for again pointing out the TOS Like a guy did yesterday. Now since I didn't post anything in our description, or even read it, how exactly am I violating the TOS?

i just started an account here but have read the forum for awhile. I love it when posters throw out the TOS excuse for SC. It's not a blanket excuse for them to do whatever the heck they want.

According to ssjet, entire clans have been banned. So now what? Don't join a clan?

and this is an idiotic policy. Ban the player that did those things. End of discussion.

Dont join a clan that acts irresponsibly. That's pretty simple and easy. There are many many great responsible clans that don't write inflammatory stuff in their descriptions. And yeah, don't be a co-leader in that same clan. First rule of management, you get the good with the bad. Tough luck if you were not the one that did it, you are still part of that management team. Want to be a Co-leader? Deal with all that comes with it.

It would be nice if there was a message underneath the clan description: "last edited by: ______"

There we go, finally a good idea that everyone can get behind. Heck, even if only Supercell can see it. that's useful.

I don't disagree with any of that. However, as manager I would demote/fire the person that did something wrong, not the entire management team. See how this works?

I am a coleader. How exactly am I supposed to kick or demote another coleader?

Thats a fair point. It really lands on the leader with COC to manage his Co-leaders appropriately. As well as manage his/her clan and clan focus/vibe..whatever. The rub is, the co-leader has the power to change everything like a clan description. So...they are still part of that management team, fair or not.

I really like the suggestion above of "last edited by.."

I would note that I understand that mistakes can happen here and someone innocent gets hosed. But personally I believe that the majority of these have full buy in from the clan. An "adult" clan will be...well..adult. Everyone sees the description. Anyone can say anything at anytime.

It would also be nice if they told you what you were banned for. Probably because my war base has a message in response to there war bases crude message. However banishment only keeps that message there longer. And now since I am unable to change it we will be able to see it in previous wars also. I'd be happy to change it but with banishment that option is unavailable. Smart thinking supercell.
