It seems to me that all you guys that like this idea want a way to correct the actions of irresponsible people.
Hes a tip... The only way to correct irresponsible people is to kick them and make them somebody Else's problem.
Sure you can warn them, give them a second or even a third chance.
But in my experience everyone that lets you down once will do it again... and they will have all new excuses for why they did it.
This is a bad idea and its not going to happen.
Agreed. This idea gives the leader too much power altogether. To the original poster, if you are having these issues you need to settle them with the people themselves.Quote:

I sure as heck am not going to kick a guy that donates over 4k troops per season for the past year and does awesome in wars just because he gets busy once a week and forgets to opt out cause he is...ummm...busy... Just let me do it...Quote:

Most leaders/co aren't going to mess with it without good reason. If they do, and you don't like it, you are probably not a good fit for that clan.Quote:

Its always tempting to pander to people that have something about their account or playing ability that is good. And of course many out there take full advantage of this.Quote:

I think having someone else mess with MY profile and My choices is absolutely a bad idea.
Consider this... you enter clan A - and the leader there is not somebody you want to play for... but he decided to alter your profile and opt you out. You dont realize this and move to clan B... expecting to be in war... but then find out you are not because of the leader of clan A.
Opt out on your personal profile represents YOUR choice and YOUR responsibility to show up if you choose to opt in.
I would say that your opt in/out should always be (re)set to out every time you join a clan. I can, as leader, change things in your profile anyways. I can make you elder or co. As leader, it is ultimately my choice who goes to war. I don't see why it matters where I make that choice. You really have no say in the matter. You go to war if I want you in, and you are out if I want you out. Don't like it, there is a little red button under your clan bookmarks.Quote:

Your suggestion takes that certainty away.Quote:

I understand that this is something you really would like ... but there will be lots of people like me that think this is an unnecessary change and currently works the way it should - including the designers at Supercell.
Nah, I don't really care one way or another, but I do think it would be a net positive to the game if implemented. When the opt In/out feature was put in the game, I was dumb founded that leaders couldn't change it. I dunno how long you have played, but if you remember the kick/invite systems of the past you will remember how awful it was. Sometimes, leaders still have to resort to kick/invite, so the problem isn't entirely solved. Like I said before, it could get messy if leaders abused this feature, but in the end, it would/could be a positive addition if used properly.Quote:

Its critically important to me as a leader to know who the players are that are letting the group down in war and getting them out of my clan... anyone can make a mistake or have a personal issue... but it always seems its the same people over and over again.
I want to be able to say with complete certainty... "YOU chose to be in war and did not show up... so goodbye"
