Stop The Spies

So lets get to clan wars! The opposing clan send spies in to your clan to look at whats in your clan castles excetra. However closing your clan does not help. If you are a clan who war constantly how are you supposed to recruit members if you are closed? You cant. How do we know that someone is from the other clan but not in war! We dont. Spies need stopping. My recommendation would be on the profile of every player you see a list of all previous clans! Therefore you can check who the player is and if he is a spy. It will also help yourself out to find a clan you were in a month ago. Hopefully this gets sorted.

This idea won’t work. A player only needs a means to communicate with the enemy in order to provide your information to them. Listing their previous clans will not be 100% effective.

Like it or not, closing your clan during wars is the only way to prevent spying. If you won’t take this basic measure, any lost war stars due to spying, are your own clan’s fault.

If you are really serious about your back to back wars, start a filter/training/feeder clan. Only recruit through that clan and only accept entry to.your main clan from this clan (after the current war has ended). This will also solve any issues you face with war deserters, poor attackers, attackers who don’t follow your methods - basically anything you don’t want in your main.clan.

In fact if you need to constantly recruit, you might gain a whole raft of benefits.

I understand what you are saying but I am on his side, see the link I posted for a good way to make it work!

Sounds kinda complicated to me, besides, sounds like it's a lot of programing SC will not want to do. Also, tracking & listing previous clans has been ruled out. All you have to do is scout one of the enemies bases, touch the clan castle, and see their actual clan line up to see if the new member is a spy. If he/she is, just kick him/her and tell everyone to change to a different base just before the war starts, or edit their existing to change the traps & teslas around. Clan Castle troops aren't even an issue any more since SC so "wisely" added dark spells like poison. They always have big hit point units like lava hounds, valks, or maybe giants, hogs, or surprise!, dragons. But mostly dragons.

Spying is part of the game, i don't think SC should reward bad awareness with an indicator.
You can never be 100% sure if someone applies for you clan with bad intentions, but there's many tools to prevent the wrong people from entering your clan.

- Don't allow applicants during CW (most obvious one)
- Use a feeder clan (also already mentioned)
- Make a screenshot as soon as a match has been found (this has always worked fine for me)
- you could check the warclans webite , this site does not always have the information about the clan you're looking for but in some cases member compositions in clans are displayed with a delay. So if someone has left his clan to join yours, he might still be listed under his original clan in this database. (no 100% guarantee) (edit: i don't know if this method is supported by SC, so please remove my post in case it's not)


Hope this helps =)
Goodluck ;)

Never let people in!!!

You don't need to close your clan or stop recruiting.

Most clans out there that need to actively recruit, you should know who is recruiting and from where.
Those same clans should rarely get a random request to join.

So during war, if someone request to join, I'll ask in clan chat if anyone knows this guy. With no one saying they know them, we decline them.

If someone is actively recruiting, he'll know who he's recruiting or recognize the name from his global chat. We tell all of our guys when they go recruiting to tell their recruits not to just send the default request message. Have the recruiter tell them to say a specific phrase. So then we know anyone that says "Chicken Coop" in their request message was actively recruited and not a spy. The same process can be done when recruiting from the forums.

This allows you to continue recruiting even during war. Clan security is something each individual in the clan must help with. Real wars have spies, why would this fake war be any different? I like that added element, makes sure that you stay on your toes.

Your idea would be great if it worked and like others said if it wasn't ruled out. Also to note to ur idea, the idea works for identifying enemy war clan members, but a lot have backup accounts several in fact that aren't linked to their main war clan. So in short having your clan closed during war is the best solution or accept only people who your clan members have personally invited during war time. hope that helps! cheers mate!

Invite only, duh. But anyway, I agree to this idea, I think that anyone who joins your clan while you are at war can't see war information till next war.
