If you war 24/7, you probably get your fair share of blowouts (for either side, doesn't really matter). If the outcome of the war is clear halfway through or even earlier, that's a perfectly fine time to set your clan to invite only if you need more members. Heck, you can get plenty of applicants if you get a few elders/cos to recruit and you only open the clan for an hour or two.
Correct answer goes to THNSUM! when you are requesting to get into a clan, just have them input a phrase or word that is predetermined amongst the elder-ship and the Co's of the clan. That way, only people that are on the Forums or Global Recruits will have the password.
Again, if 24/7 wars are happening and you need members, there are somethings wrong and its not just the spies. just my honest opinion.
We don't allow people to request - new members need to be invited. It cuts down on many more problems than just spying.Quote:

You can be sure somebody will let you in or send you an invite after being rejected unless the leader himself is on and shout loud "dont invite - he is a spy".Quote:

The hours before a war are the worst for recruiting. If somebody leaves the clan, he will do it after 1 or 2 days is most cases. If you invite members 2 hours before the cw, you can be sure you somebody will leave during clan. If you invite in the preperation Phase, the Chance is high, that he might be gone before the war starts.Quote:

OP. We have the same type of situation.
We war 24/7 ourselves but we leave our clan on invite only and basically just judge it from there. We clearly state that we need a personal join request or you will not get invited. The thing with our clan is we are based on a lifestyle choice (vegan only clan) and we only accept those who are also vegan. So for us, recruiting here on forums isn't feasible, and tbh, I wouldn't look for people on forums anyways. We don't go near global ever and I'll boot anyone in my clan who dares go trolling there. We mostly work with the network of other vegan clans (we mostly all know each other, and ours is the only one that wars non-stop) and newer folks who use keyword searches to find their clans.
That being said, it is not that hard for someone to write a personal request from their mini account (friends account, etc) claiming they fit our requirements and we will accept them. We then normally ask them very quickly a few questions and they do not respond within a minute they are booted. This is sad because who knows how many genuine people we may have booted because we are worried they may be a spy. We have had our fair share of spies as well which is unfortunate even though most just say "it is part of the game". I suppose in a way in all the cases so far it was great as we have not lost a war to them anyways.
I tire of all the apologists on forums who constantly blame spies entering a clan on the clan themselves. SC already makes it so spectators are unable to donate to war cc, why not simply make spectators be unable to even see any of the bases? Simple. Problem solved 100%. I have no idea why anyone would take issue if this were to come into effect... outside of those who are obviously crappy clashers and feel they need to know all the opposing base intel in order to compete.

What does wanting to add new players have to do with warring 24/7? Seriously, help me out here as this general statement in my mind, is nonsensical.Quote:

This is the solution.Quote:
