The Chat
The Global Chat's always been a mess. We've always had players insulting one another in the form of F*** You and so on. How could we ever fix this?
Here's the answers you needed.....
Report a comment
Instead of just muting a player on Global we need to be able to report their comments.
Reporting the comment will be simple for the player; They will just have to select the offensive comment and it will be sent to Supercell Moderators or will be checked for offensive language. We already have the censoring system. By-comment would be too inconvenience for good samaritans.
But what about spam
It's annoying when somebody spams a global chat. If we see somebody spamming instead of muting this player we can click on their profile and see a chat history. This history will include everything they have said in the past 24 hours on Global and we could just highlight the spam. When there are more than 4 consecutive messages saying the same thing this would be spam and they would be kicked from chat and unable to join for the next 2-4 hours. Sure but reporting / muting already does this. Plus I don't want my chat history to be tracked.
Other chats
Global is entirely too random. To help lessen the flow for the global chat I propose that there would be made a clan recruitment chat. On this clan recruitment chat we can have some clan elders or higher recruit players for their clan. They could send a message such as join our clan and there would be an accept or decline option on the chat for designated players to decide their fate or where they are going. I think that people who recruit in global can easily be muted and therefore this is redundant.
Competitions
Who doesn't like a competition? In this clan recruitment chat the numbers of players that join off the message on the chat would be tallied on a global national and regional scoreboard. The clans that recruit the most players in a season get a prize such as gold, elixir, or gems for all the members of the winning clan. No, this would encourage top players to just host join req leave
The Chat Center
Earlier I said there would be a chat history, but there would also be a brand new chat Center. The game would still have the chat to the side but in the chat Center you could DM members of other clans (these messages could be reported and checked as well) and talk about strategies with one specific player. You could do a wide variety and make your own group chat in the Chat Center so you can always keep in touch with your friends on Clash of Clans.
PM system can be used for harassment.
Clan Chat
The Clan Chat is the one shining feature of the chat and I would love to see it stay this way. The only thing would be that when a new player joins it states how they joined (recruited, just joined without being recruited) this would help indicate to your clan members how well they are doing on recruitment and if they need to step it up a bit.
If you managed to read through the whole post you're a legend. Thanks and please give feedback
