Improvements to Global Chat
As a frequent user of the global chat, whether to recruit clan mates or to just chat with other players, I have noticed many areas that need to be improved. Some ideas may coincide with other threads.
1. Switching between Global Chats
After reading through some of the threads, I found out that this feature is highly requested, thus being first.
This feature would really make the global chat be more convinient to use especially for people looking or recruiting people into clans. Since we have to switch between different global chats to advertise and recruit for our clan. A button to switch global chat made available would be highly useful. Instead of having to close the app- kill the app - then re-login again, which is a tedious task.
2. Native Language Enabled
Some clashers prefer to speak their native language in the global chat. This can lead to many 'wasted trips' by clashers as some people may prefer to speak their native language in the global chat.
Thus, it would be convinient for clashers to have an options in the settings on their preferred language in global chat, thus people who choose to speak english can be posted to a more suitable chat, or a clasher who wishes to speak in malay, for example, can be posted to chats which speak malay.
3. Upvote/Downvote on Player's Profile.
This is a feature I feel is highly needed. In Global Chats, I often meet many spammers, vulgar, people who beg and clan hoppers (people who join a clan for troops and soon leave for other clans). Thus, how this feature comes into play is that players in the global chat get to upvote or downvote a player's profile. This will ensure that clan hoppers looking to join a clan would be easily visible to others through their negative profile. Even spammers and people who spew vulgarities can be easily identified.
This feature would also be highly valuable to clans looking to recruit clan members. By seeing someone with a negative profile, they can guess if that the player may be a potential clan hopper and thus not get taken advantage of.
This feature can be similar in a way to chat reporting, where people have only limited amounts of votes per day and that people who down vote someone else has to specify a reason as to why they down voted that person, which is in a way similar to chat reporting.
I can see how this feature can be easily explotied by others which would lead me to my next suggestion.
4. Reporting Features.
Although this is said to be exploited and overused by others, feel that this is a necessary feature. However, it has a few flaws.
The people who are often reported get away scott-free. After using the global chat for sometime, I feel that many of said spammers, beggars, and vulgar players are never banned from using the global chat as not many people bother to report them.
Another feature is that instead of just plainly 'reporting' the player. There could be a feature where players can specify for what reason they are reporting the player for. Examples are such as Scamming (for clan hoppers and the like), Spamming (beggars and people who 'overuse' emptes can come under this) and Inappropriate language use (yes despite the censoring of vulgarities, many get by this by using slangs and symbols to represent the letters).
Which brings me back to Idea Number 3, Upvoting and Downvoting them. There can be a feature where people who are frequently reported get a negative profile.
