Add a Cool-Down period after joining a clan of 1-6 hours before requesting troops.

One of the most frustrating aspects of running a clan is when people join and immediately send a troop request only to leave the clan the moment they receive troops. This equates to stealing troops from generous clanmates. My request is to add a cool down period when people join a clan of 1-6 hours across the board for new members of a clan. OR give the leaders and co-leaders of each clan to set their own clans cool down period manually from zero to whatever they want; an hour, a day, a week, whatever.
I believe this would prevent the trolling and leaching of troops from clanmates that creates so much bitterness and cynicism. I hope this request gets to somebody that can do something about it because this could alleviate a lot of frustration from a lot of people! Thanks in advance.

1-6 hours thats an awfully big window. I'd say 15-30 minutes would be more than fine.

i say 30 m to 1 h

I think SC should do nothing with this and each clan should decide for themselves how they want to handle it. There are clans that want to base it only on what the other gives first and nothing to do with time. There are donate and leave clans that this would totally mess up. And there are clans that just don't care and would just consider any SC imposed restrictions as a hassle. There are guys that jump between feeder clans to get troops for war that this would mess up.

I would instead ask why cant a clan leader tell a person they can't get troops for a few hours if that's what they want? Or 15 minutes, or donate first, or whatever. Why can't the clan handle it themselves to 'just say no' if they feel that way?

A toggle on and off button would be nice in the clan settings.

I want to ask one thing though. If you don't want to donate to new members for first "some" hours, then why not just set it as rule? Maybe in description?

Those who want to donate. Can donate. You get experience from it and achievement.

You don't like donating at first few hours? Then don't donate. The whole donations is in each persons control already. No one is forcing you to donate.

Why should you as leader set a condition that would make someone unable to donate even if they want to?

I'm sitting on almost full elixir storage. I keep donating wiz or drags or pekka whatever I can use to donate and keep elixir low from getting a target to th9. So I would love to donate to any request and having a rule blocking me makes no sense.

You don't like to donate to new guy, then just don't.

I'm not locked into a time period. I just would like to give the clan leader control over this in some way. I am looking for loyal teammates, so we don't need people showing up and requesting just to leave. Its a pain in the butt to have to go look at each persons profile to decide if they are worthy of my donation or not. By automating it at the leader level you can prevent much trolling by giving control with a toggle to turn this Cool-Down feature for troop requests a toggle and a time period drop down window. Set it and forget it to eliminate 80 or 90% of Troop trolling. Problem solved!

deadlyxda, just trying to prevent people from stealing from my clanmates without them having to research each request that pops up. If I could set a one hour blockage on requests for new members I stop a huge problem of ten people a day joining my clan just to steal and leave. We are an active clan and if I had to go into each users profile to check up on them every time they sent a request it wastes a huge amount of time. I'm not saying it is for everyone, but giving control of this to the clan leader is the best option. If that's not how your clan rolls, then don't use it. But it would save me and others I'm sure, a great deal of hassle!

No, its not that I'm against it. I'm trying to understand the problem.

You have invite system I guess seeing at your wordings. I'm not sure what level of th you guys recruit

But maybe keep trophy setting to 1000? Or 800?

I have never ever come across this problem of people requesting and joining and troop req and leave. So not sure how vast this problem is.

Because, you get a troop request pop in chat. You get to see the request and the person's name. Anyone can tell them in 2 seconds that they only get troops after so and so hours of their joining in your clan.

They even get to decide if they want to donate or not. Why donate at all to new member if you are so bothered about them stealing? Just wait it out. Tell members in clan mail to never donate to new members until certain period? Maybe a day? I don't know..

You even get to see "new" tag on them on clan list. Its hard to miss who is new unless you switch members on a daily basis which is really bad for clan itself for stability.

Why does a leader has to enforce a "must" rule on all members when any member themselves can choose to donate or not to?

Well,
bye to request and leave clans

Love the drama queen bit.

Last thread to have this idea included the option of adjusting it from 0 in 15 minute increments to preserve RnL clans while helping the 95%* of clans that think this behavior is dishonest.

*not a real statistic

I agree with the idea that the leaders can adjust the time. Request and leave clans can set it to zero if they want but I would set it to at least 10 minutes for my clan.

what happens to the req and ♥♥♥♥ clans

This would definitely need a toggle button, otherwise req n leave clans would be destroyed.
With a toggle button, sure, sounds good.

Well I just started a clan. I'm trying to recruit people that are mature, active, loyal, giving and helpful. Its hard to keep those people when people keep joining, stealing troops and quitting. I don't know if you have ever started an open clan. But the first 72hours are chaos. It would be much easier to sell new members on integrity when they are not being taken from every 5 minutes. And I am not gonna set a trophy cap because I want to give all good people the opportunity without requireing a trophy count.

They already have a cool down between requests that is 30 minutes. I don't see a reason in making a cool down for when you just joined. That would mess up request and leave clans. Also, if you are worried about hoppers then it's called "invite only".

Or just dont donate to them?

Problem solved with no programming required.

If you have a well structured clan, hoppers should not be a problem.

there is a simpler solution.... dont donate immediately :-D .

That's a big fat NO!! if u have an open join clan expect it. Change the trophy counts to join, or don't donate to new members until they donate. Learn how to control your clan members. if there to lazy to check player status than there elixer wasnt as valuable as they claim.

But a option of blocking new members from requesting may be an option. But that can also have huge downsides. Why would some want to stay if u can't even help em. Ahh but that weeds out the hoppers as most of u call em

What about FK Donators, REQ AND ♥♥♥♥, and other donating clans? It will be harder to get the Friend in Need achievement done for them.
If a person is annoyed because they donated a golem to a person who left one minute later, that fault is theirs and theirs alone because they were gullible enough to fall for it.

Just kick out anyone that joins and requests right away without talking or donating first. Or donate giants, grab your xp, and then kick.

Giants? You are a generous soul :) we only do barb n archer outside clan wars unless someone has built a rep!

Sorry if this post looks screwed up, still new to forums, if you'd like to help me out with this, please message me or something. Anyways, I think it's a great idea, but it might be unfair to people who actually want to join a clan in the long term, but also need troops. So what if you could have a "record" that would be included in the player's profile, or if the person really does it a lot, he or she would build up a "reputation" that would automatically prohibit players from requesting. Thanks for reading my post. -im bored from clash

So that they can never learn from their mistake? They should just be branded as outcast? Please no

There should be an option for 0 minutes (especially so req n go clans and other clans can function properly), and maybe the cool down can be taken away if the new member has donated a certain number of troops or if the leader/cos allow that one person to request manually. Good idea btw.

I get it everyone hates hoppers they are the fruitcake of clash of clans. But when someone requests don't not donate or kick them. Doesn't matter if they ask for a dragon just give them archers or barbarians. These are low costing troops and archers are great for raids and defending bases. If they get mad and are like,"I said DRAGON not archers!". Reply with this, "You are new and not trustworthy, if you want better troops stay in the clan." Or something to that degree. I mean what are 15 archers? Then if they hop to another clan what are you out? 5 archers but you get 5 exp and it helps add on to your friend in need achievement.

Hmmmmm... I see wat u mean, but there could be something like a cooldown period that would increase each time u left a clan after less than a certain time.

A way to help this would be that they have to use the troops while they are still in the clan, or the troops return immediately when the leave.

I am sorry, not trying to antagonize you, but I disagree with you completely to be putting this on SC to do something. I think you should do something.

So your open clan is nuts, that doesn't mean give away troops. Tell every one of them they have to wait for troops. Sure lots will leave, but let them. You just sorted out a tone of losers you don't need and on the cheap too.

And then as you donate, just give a few archers first. Its a goodwill gesture and not expensive enough that you can't afford to lose then.

Then as your clan settles, get into a donate first rule. No one gets anything until they gave something/ You don't care if they have been there a minute or a week, they give first. And then you also look at what they give. If someone tosses a couple archers then requests a dragon give him 2 archers so you are not being unfair and then ick his freeloading tail out. Don't be in a hurry to build your clan up. Let guys leave in droves while you favor quality over quantity. If you are gently firm and consistent (and be pleasant through all this, never tell someone off. Even if they are jawing away on you, no words back, just boot if they have to go) over time you will eventually have enough guys that are bought into it. Staying firm is often unpopular but if you are always fair and consistent with it enough will respect you so you have a good clan. And the ones that can't respect anything can go be someone else's problem.

Oh, and close that thing to invite only. open clans always get stupid on you too much that gets in the way of you managing well.
