I'd like to have a way to prevent hoppers to a clan that's serious about the game. I'm thinking if player profiles could keep track of how many clans a player has joined leaders, of a serious clan, can set a filter to block players that don't meet the requirement. For example, if I don't want players that have been in as many as 30 different clans I can set filter to say under 20. It would be similar to setting trophy limits.
Nah. Let hoppers be hoppers. U just gotta adjust
Most clans that are serious about the game know that there's nothing wrong with hoppers lol free xp anyone:rolleyes:Quote:

Instead of posting the stat like everyone asks (and is against SC policy since its a negative stat) this idea is to just filter on it. The stat can remain behind the scenes and you don't have to see who is over your threshold so no naming.
I also liked it being adjustable so clans that this did not fit well with can just leave it off.
It can have some downsides, if I leave my clan to do a social walkabout and come back for instance. But as with the request limit I suppose I could make sure that is set to let me make it back.
I am going to give this a thumbs up.
Well id say just recruit differently and also that could hurt recruitment, for example there maybe Clahsers that have been playing for a long time that have traveled between clans often, people like me that when clanless use Req&Go Clans that would run up the "Clans been in" count, and also people that are in clans that have family that they switch between often, all of these would run up the counter thus making people assume they are hoppers.Quote:

What if people tried a clan, but found that it was inactive?
rip.
Under 20?
I'm a pretty loyal clan member who did a ton of hopping before (not for troops, trying to find the right clan).
I'd say I've been in almost 200...
I personally agree with this, but this would still require complicated programming that would take too much of Sc's time.
Rigth now, I don't think the programme tracks what clans you are in. You are simple in a clan or not in a clan. If you want to put a number on how many clans within some days, the programme would have to record the leaving and join activities of 90 million or so players for the maximum amount of days that people can set this filter to (let's say a week). Not only would this require a lot of database server space, it would cause umimaginable lag,unless they can spend even more time reducing lag....
Good idea, but impractical (I voted yes...:p)
This stastic is inherently negative and Supercell has a policy against negative stastics.
