Wrong Donations and the frustration.

I am sure by now it's been requested to have some way of knowing who donated what to whom.
Would it be too much to ask for something so that we know who donates what? As it stands getting wrong donations wastes time because of the request timer. Plus it goes without saying that it's frustrating when you request for something you don't get what you ask for. Especially when that request isn't ridiculous and unreasonable.

they say beggars can't be choosers, but I say if the specific request can't be filled at that time don't give at all.

Im sure you guys at this point have heard this many times and some of you probably feel the same. I make this thread to ask if it's unreasonable to request for a Donations Log so that we may access, see who donated and take note who gave the wrong troops so that they may be talked to or dealt with however you see fit.

Either that, or have some sort of notification tab that shows it because those notifications that come up are only useful when you are online and there when you receive the donation at that given time.

If there was another reason for this thread other than to ask that it's to vent on this. Thank you for your time.

this should be in the ideas sub forum.
I have wanted this idea for a while but just go to a good clan to avoid this problem.

A simple solution i think would be to take out custom request and have a preset list of all the troops to pick from and only those troops can be donated and if u dont have it the donate button is greyed out

I am in a good clan. It's usually when we get many new people after the leader kicks people for disobeying the rules (which is often) and can't sort through the new people who donate wrong. We can narrow it down but it'd just be easier you know?

as far as posting this thread in the wrong forum i felt the thread was more about me venting and seeing who felt the same than the ideas suggested to fix it. The ideas presented have been presented before. So that's why.

I wouldn't mind a donation log but it wouldn't be a high priority for me.

The game currently notifies you who donates to you and what troops are donated. The notifications come quickly and you have to pay attention, but you are notified. If you're consistently being given the wrong troops you should pay attention to who's doing it and alert your leader and co-leaders. Everyone makes a mistake occasionally but if it's done consistently then those people should be kicked.

With the gradual integration of troop dismissal in its varying forms, supercell have come a long way to improving what was once a very annoying aspect of the game, especially in clan wars. I think having some sort of log or simply have the notification pop when you next log in if you are not online, (the same as it does in the middle of the screen if you are online). But it is portrayed on these forums that SuperCell have an almost bizarre fear of what they refer to as a naming and shaming culture.

Personally I think why protect those lacking integrity and good sportsmanship. But for now I can live with how it is.

it's not like I don't do that already. The notifcations do come quickly and what's more is that they appear even when you are not online to see them. I can't always be online to "pay attention". Of course I contact my leader about the matter but finding out who does it is narrowing down process that isn't always accurate.

It is annoying. Usually after those donations we all start searching people's army camps, and you can usually find the 1 guy with lvl 3 giants, lvl 4 goblins, or lvl 2 balloons :)

I love that idea. It is much better than typing a request or keeping a donation log. People will only be able to donate what you request and it helps to distinguish between people that only want certain troops from those that prefer certain troops but will accept others.

Bad idea, it would demolish the game's fun of having a sense of teamwork.

as a group, you spend time little by little getting closer, including communicating your request.

taking it out and forcing things (like identifying who donates what) will just takes out the fun of teamwork building.

IMO, it's your clan's system that has the consequences. Which has hign member turnover.

my clan rarely kicks anyone and rarely accepts anyone.

Well said. Exactly like my own clan.

Just stop accepting every scrub off the street and you'll be avoiding this problem.

Lol "scrub off the street"

What at you two guys talk of is the ideal and you are both lucky to be in strong clans with such an environment. But 99% of clans are on a journey to achieving that standard and until they get there, any tools to deal with... Tools... Are appreciated imo.

Make use of what you get, be happy to have troops in your CC and keep clashing

I disagree fella. Proper donating is a large part of what decides wether someone is made of the right stuff to be a productive clan member.

i'm not someone who blames my success or failure in this game on what cc troops I have, but they can certainly make a difference, otherwise we would join any old clan that fills your cc up straight away with one-legged partially sighted gobs.

I think that the problem stems from the way your clan is run... You need to work out why you have such a high turnover of clannies.

In a stable clan, over time, you get to know what you are likely to be getting, and from whom, and most people stick to the clan policy (in our clan, we mail it every so often) .........

(we tolerate the occasional "troll" donation, especially if there is a fair bit of banter in chat ... we let people have some fun, except when at war, and if it gets out of hand myself or a co step in --- but we are avery relaxed clan)

To be honest, a system of notification wouldn't hurt.... but SC seem determined not to violate their "No naming or shaming policy"

The OP stated that the leader kicks the people who disobey the rules. It takes time to build a stable clan - allowing unsuitable people to remain does not help make a clan stable.

I have kicked a lot of people. Variety of reasons... donations... ratios... attacking too low or high during war.... swearing and offensive language (persistant - not one off) and if people really really get on my nerves they are gone. Its genuinely not worth the headache.

I know.... but why so many, all at once, is what I was getting at... If you kick one or two, and recruit 3 or 4 more - it would be easy to work out who the proper muppetts are, and would help build your clan into a stable one.....

We boot a person whenever someone gets the wrong donations. And we usually know who donates what. We're excellent that way.

And after booting a few people in the early days, everyone else knew better than to donate wrongly.

I suggest that you need to get to know your clan donations better.

yeah I agree, one or two people a week is great. But I can sympathise. Trying to build a clan and maintain it is hard work. It's not always possible to recruit people one or two at a time. Often people donate the right troops to me as leader.... but not to other people. I like keeping my clan on their toes .. the last few months aside I don't miss much that is going on in the clan

It would be nice to have such a feature, where it could tell u who donated to u, but dont believe its going to happen or anytime soon.
