Solution to the spies problem in clan wars

So, you've fixed the ghosting and bunny issue. thats great. However one issue still remains, that is spies sent by the other team to screenshot the bases, including trap position and CC troops. i have a solution that i think both easy to implement and will make the whole wars thing much more cleaner and fair.

Make it so only the players who are directly participating in war can view traps, cc troops and any hidden base elements. That way, even if the other clan does send a spy, he won't be in the war, and wont be able to see anything beyond what the other team can see.

There are also other benefits to this idea, which i won't discuss here as the revolve around subjects that are against TOS, which i'm sure you are well aware off

Any threat of a spy is instantly stopped by setting your clan to "Closed".
If you war nonstop, you might want to consider stopping for one or two days to recruit.
If you don't, its your choice to run the risk of getting spied on.

This is not a solution. This is one of the measures we are FORCED to take to fight the problem.

I think it is SuperCell responsibility to provide us with a clean and fair gaming environment, not leave security holes that we should figure out how to deal with. I believe it can be solved with my idea

It is your own responsibility to outsmart the spies.

An unnecessary solution to.a non-problem.

Many points I could make but here’s a sampler...
How does the clan defense expert, who is not participating, advice others if they can’t see everything ?

SC has given you the tools. You just won’t accept it.
Not that CoC is in any way real.world...but how do you think countries at war handle the issue ?? They usually start by closing the borders.

easy
swap your farming base for your war base, takes only a second. please, make more points :smirk:

And for the record, i am a member of highly successful, non stop war clan. we already do what you suggested here, close the clan during war, recruit exclusively through forums, etc. it feels forced and interferes with other casual clan activities. it's not like we can't handle the current state of the game. but i feel theres a better solution

You are wrong to compare 3rd party software like the fuzzy bunny/ghosting (which many argue is not yet fixed) with something that is intentionally built into the game to be a normal part of the gameplay.

Spying is just normal gamesmanship within COC. Guys will try to out smart you and its on you to be smarter than they are.

You really haven‘t thought this through have you. The spy sees everything my non-participant defense expert can see. A really good spy hides their alliances, doesn’t actively fight in wars and stays in the enemy camp for the duration of hostilities, reporting back using secret methods.

Do some research here. Plenty of threads discuss spies and some suggest your idea. Learn what others think.

The problem isn't the spies, its the people who can't be bothered to get off their asses and solve it themselves.
Close the clan. Solved
Dont accept people you don't know during wars. solved

Dont make supercell waste their time fixing something that wasn't broken.

Thank you, but we already have a good idea for a simple fix...

All of page 4 pretty much explains things well.
No need to reinvent the wheel, or call eachother names, and whatever everyone else does to waste time on this issue.
