Offensive posts on clan walls

I see that more and more players of clash of clans use clan walls to insult or abuse other clans. The words used can be offensive, abusive, sexist and racist. This is an unacceptable and unhealthy behaviour. This behaviour can be considered as cyberbullying and an important issue as a significant proportion of the community are teens under the age of 18.

I have joined a clan for more than 6 months. During this period of time, we have encountered three clans that used offensive words during clan wars to try to abuse us. <snip> In addition, one of them repeatedly and countinously used these words even after the war ended for a period of time.

I would like to request the clash of clans management team to put more attention on this issue. Reporting individual users on the global chat is not enough as users are also using the clan wall to post abusive and offensive words. Not only the clans that perform this action should be blocked from the game but also the members. Thank you for considering the request.

You can report them in game


1. Take a screen shot
2. Select the settings button ( looks like a cog )
3. Select "help and support"
4. In upper right corner chose " contact us "
5. A chat window opens and you can leave a text and add you screenshot.

If only there was a search button that could share more light on this topic.....

It could show
A) all the threads asking to ban people for whatever reason and how to go about doing it
B) all the complaint threads about being banned from the game for offensive layouts, misuse of clan description and abusive languange

Follow the instructions that THNSUM gave you above.

You deserve a free shield, mate.

You are so soft :rolleyes:

Thank you. We will take a screenshot and report to COC next time if we see it again. I meant clan boards not walls.

in my clan we always have our usual clan description and then we write "Good luck (Opponents name)" :)

I hate the people that make swastikas out of their walls. Unfortunately they did not have the reoprt feature back then when I came across one while searching, so I 3-starred it instead.

You get offended too easily

Well, there is that. However, we cannot decide what may offend anyone. However soft it may seem, someone, somewhere will probably be genuinely offended by it.

Relax OP, SC currently have ban-hammer on overdrive, so wouldnt expect it to continue too long.

I agree racism and such is 100% unacceptable but i never see that in war so im guessing the OP is complaining about random joke bases, which is ridiculous.

Seems like they are, based on all the whining posts about getting banned for doing exactly that.

Report it evey time you see it. That's pretty much the only way to go.

1) Find big boy pants

2) Put them on

It didn't seem to work... I still get offended easily.

Get any other idea?

Funny how easily offended some people are by people getting offended by classlessness.

The apparently obvious solution: Big boy pants for all! :rolleyes:

Yup there is report

offensive base the offender will get temp ban
offensive clan description all the leaders/co-leaders will get a temp ban.

You probably will never see that clan again but I doubt they will do it again.

That is a slippery slope if basing it purely on that design. You do realize the origin of that symbol right? Before the Nazi Germans starting using it that symbol was and actually still is a religious symbol for Buddhists.

If you actually go to east Asian countries, many religious buildings use that symbol. So if you start banning people on that, you could be condemning people for practicing their own peaceful religion... * this would be a huge mistake by SC.. because they then would have to be fair and remove all religious forms from the game and also religious texts/words/phrases *

I certainly hope SC uses more than just a screenshot as the basis for banning people.

I selected a clan at random and screenshot them:

Utilizing my 1337 MS Paint skillz and about five minutes of my time, I came up with this:

Now, if I were at war with this clan I could have two or three members send in this 'screenshot' and have that clans leadership banned, thus just about guaranteeing me a win.

OMG a gator fan, I love you.

Im sure they can check if its real. I doubt weve got a COC SWATTING going on.

I miss the good old days in gaming when some good old fashioned smack talk was desirable and didn't cause a "social issue"

The best reply to such a clan will be:

Good luck in war <Clan Name>.

1) It will show that you are not affected by whatever description they wrote.
2) You would feel better that you didn't respond to a childish prank - with another childish prank of yours.
3) People will actually see that you are more mature than the others.

lol. I don't think I'd use the terms "old days" and "old fashioned" when talking about a mobile platform, unless I were under 12. For me, old fashioned was when people cared about things like honor, respect, and gentlemanly conduct. If you want to pine for some good old days, pine for those.

You also have the option of not reading opponents walls.

Yeah. I usually spy, and then wish them good luck.
