Another ban story?

Greeting, clashers,

I used to be elder of a clan I'd rather not mention for particular reasons. For the past 20 days I was out on vacations and didn't clash at all.

During this time, some rules changed and they decided to promote older/loyal members to co, that includes me, despite my inactivity-ness. I wasn't aware of this until not long ago, but, so far, so good.

Problems arose when a couple within the clan broke up. The guy was some sort of sore loser and began filling the description with a bunch of disagreeable stuff.

Today, I logged in to find out I'm banned. Apparently, as a co, I'm liable for whatever is written on the description, despite being inactive for so long when I was promoted that my village got kicked from the matchmaking queue and wasn't even being attacked anymore.

I'm not gonna rage and say I'll quit playing. Not because of this, at least, since I wasn't clashing as much as I used to, anyway. But I am, indeed, extremely frustrated. And I feel really wronged.

I think there isn't much more I can do for now other than moving on, but I wanted to make sure this was well documented, because, in my views, this felt really negligent.

Cheers. Have an awesome year,

Paradox

There's no way to make exceptions on individual basis'. This stuff can happen if the leader isn't careful about how he runs his clan and we can avoid situations like this by not being in those clans. Ban is only temp and it is a good system since like on a sporting team a clan is a group thing. You should be able to play in a day or so.

It really is unfortunate. The way this game works you have to be very diligent and basically avoid being in any clan that has any immature players. The punishment system basically strikes out against the entire clan so you have to look for any kind of inappropriate behavior and leave the clan as soon as it starts. Basically I would say not to be in any clan that has any members that like to curse or speak of off-color things in clan chat because those are the kinds of people likely to do more inappropriate things when they get upset.

Yep, there's about one post a week about all leads getting banned for something "the clan" did. So it's well documented.

Helpful hints:

- Don't be a co/lead if you're not willing to be responsible for anything/everthing at the clan level.

- You can demote yourself if you're a Co. and you don't want to be. It's fun and easy!

- If you keep getting re-promoted to Co in a clan and you don't want it, there is that awesome LEAVE button. Press it. It Works.

- Don't allow children (either in age or maturity) to be leaders.

- Do check regularly public things like the clan description, clean up as needed.

- Don't whine here if you're banned.

You can't demote your self unless you leave, and he can share his story as he want its about clash. I take it he published this thread for a chance to be unbanned. And it looks like yo didn't even read what he said. He was gone and inactive how could he "not be responsible?" He was gone.

Hey pal, I'll give that you didn't read my post as a whole. How was I to do what you mentioned in the situation I was in?

By the way, I get it that people complaining about some issue over and over can get old fast, but don't you think some things deserve attention?

To be fair, I'm not really expecting anything to be done about my case. I heard the tales about how terrible SC customer support is. I just feel like some things should be msde public. I don't know, maybe one day they can go and say "hey...our system is bad. Maybe we should change it." Unlikely, bordering impossible, I know. But a girl can dream, right?

The implication is supercelll as some magic crystal ball that they could use to know if a co was on vacation when the description changed.

At the end of the day, all co leaders and the leader are jointly responsible for the clan description. Someone must have seen it and no one changed it. Lesson to be learned? Dont promote random people to co.

Agreed, but with the situation he was in it had nothing to do with him. SC should i dont know fix stuff like this?

If you play so little you didn't even notice they made you co-lead than why does a ban matter anyway, I think it is maybe for 1 day...
