Preventing Disloyal Memebers
My name is Dylan (chief name: Toxic Squirrel) and i am currently the leader of the clan "War Mongrels" (#P908RVVO). I have been playing this game for just under a year now. I have also attempted to play many of the other "knock-offs" of the game; therefore, I have felt compelled to share some ideas and feedback that could help improve the game play and online experience.
A lot of clans have been "uniquely" titled "Req 'n Go" or Req 'n Leave". In these clans many players can join just for the troops that these clans have to offer. While this is a healthy thing to have within the Clash of Clans community, there are some downsides to this. For instance, not every clan in the world supports the joining for troops, and I know first hand what it is like having players "hop" so-to-speak. This issue could be resolved in just ONE single update. The clan leaders have numerous options in order to customize the socialization and the privacy of the clan, but they do not have the option of disallowing hoppers. With my ideas this could all be changed.
My first idea is to create an option where the clan leaders could edit the tolerance of players joining the clan. Yes, there are options in place to close the clan, but there is no way to prevent people from hopping. This would work, for example, like this: first, the leader of the clan notices a reoccurring pattern of members from their global chat joining for troops and then leaving (hopping), so the leader opens up the clan settings and sets the clan to "Disallow requests for (x)hours" (0-24). This would only disallow members who have just joined to request for troops until they have been in the clan for the specified time. This would work in numerous ways. There could still exist clans that follow the "Req 'n Go" methods and there could still be the ones that require loyalty to receive the awards.
If the above doesn't suit your fancy, how about this: what if Leaders (or co-leaders) could edit the settings to moderate the amount of troops each member can request for within the specified time frame. This would work well for clans that have members who leach off of the others.
In conclusion, I want to thank Supercell for an amazing game that we can all enjoy. Also, thank you for your amazing new updates! Hope to see more!
