How to stop spies

What about just not seeing the war bases on prep day? On war day everyone would need to see to watch live attacks.

It sounds like you are trying compromise solving a problem that has already been solved.
Spies coming into the clan is solved by the clan working together to keep them out.
What people are really wanting:
Supercell I dont want to have to think about spies. So the solution you gave me doesnt work. I want you Supercell to change the game so I dont have to change.

I think we may be in the minority for how we recruit players. We are after a very specific type of player. We troll global and the forums looking for a few key words that perk our interest. When we identify a player we like we approach them. So, we seek out and contact the player, not the other way around. As a result, we know the player before we accept them. We do not accept players who send random invites without contacting us first.

How likely is it that we would accidentally seek out a player who just happened to be in a clan we are currently warring against? Don't know but it hasn't happened yet. My guess is the number is critically small.

We have no problem with war spies. And we are able to keep a steady stream of new players coming in to the clan.

We don't need supercell to fix anything.

Thank you Reddigulous.

This is great for all the really serious clans but for us mediocre part time players who just put in whatever time we can this is not that easy. Why shouldn't supercell make the game easier for all not just the hardcore players. And it's not as if it would change the way anyone has to do anything or having to change the way they play as other suggestions would. At the end of the day it would just stop people even trying to spy period so then no one has to worry about it. You may not have been affected by a spy and if not great for you but we have and there is an easy simple fix to stop spies period why is that not a good idea???????

Mediocore part time player who wars full time. Does this even makes sense?

I said the clan wars all the time not that I personally do we have enough members that even when people are not around due to other commitments like their families or work there is always enough to have a war. Not every clan has every member in war all the time. Why keep trying to pick holes in things I get you don't agree with the suggestion what I don't understand is why it wouldn't affect you in anyway. you are obviously a great player in a great clan and probably play a lot. Unfortunately we can't all do that and newer people and smaller clans fall prey to this type of thing all the time so why is a suggestion about a way to stop it such a bad thing. It is only a suggestion that is all

Also as previously mentioned by other poster why should we have to close if we want genuine people to join esp for clans who war constantly when can you ever be open?? This would allow people to have their clan however they want without the risk of spies coming in surely that is better than having to keep toggling clan settings???

Wait your saying your settings don't work?

I'm just saying that in the past i am pretty sure the clan was closed and we still had people requesting to join. The settings have been updated to closed earlier today so will see what happens hopefully it will solve the problem. We was just thinking of a way that the game could work so that we didn't have to keep changing settings or forget which is what usually happens as I say the clan is full of people who just play for leisure when we find time. But as said before nearly always enough for a war and if not people are opted in and second attacks used to take the extra turns from the missing players

There is a solution. Close the clan, like most of the veteran clashers have mentioned. You can still recruit with a closed clan with invites. The only people closing the clan keeps out are the random joiners that are more than often just hoppers anyway. This really is not a problem. The person you INVITE in is not going to be a spy.
