Why too severe? If its your clan and you really don't want that person in... ever?Quote:

A permanent ban would completely solve an awful lot of really nasty stalking and trolling scenarios that Supercell cannot or will not help you with... and really whats the down side? Who is really hurt?
Well thanks for the tip... but I don't see it as a problem if I am responding to them one after the other within a 10 minute period.Quote:

I think perma banning is a bit too harsh, although I like Axion's idea.
1. I don't want to see thread after thread about how someone apologized and they need to "unban" them.Quote:

3. Permanent anything probably doesn't make sense in a situation that could be fluid (because you might not always be the leader of that clan).
I would think a 30 day ban would be sufficient for most things.
Well fair enough,Quote:

Finally, the "permanent" ban does not need to be implemented as an irreversible button click. It could simply be a dialog where the clan leader edits player IDs (although the simple button click would be much cleaner to implement and easier on the UI - The total number of bannable players could also be kept short with the oldest dropping off the list too.).
When I weigh the benefit of being able to forever remove the truly bad guys (the Stalkers, Harassers, and Trolls) against the negatives you cite its pretty clear to me which wins...
I have no doubt that there are clans and individuals out there that are forced to shut down clans and rename their player Ids to hide from these people - of course they can still be found.
On the other had I do agree that for 99% of situations 30 days would do the trick and I would be thrilled to have even that... but right now my clan is the in the 1%
I take "permanent" to be "irreversible", otherwise it's not really permanent. I think the idea of a list or something would be fine to suit the purposes requested. Essentially an indefinite ban able to be lifted at any time.Quote:

lol... well we are definitely splitting hairs here... but it is permanent as long as the person who does the banning wants it to be. :)Quote:

They already have this feature. Click the clan castle, then click "Clan", then press "Edit". Change the settings so that your clan is closed. Problem solved.
Wrong!Quote:

Check this post out for specifics: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...g-within-clans
A ban is keeps a specific user that you have identified and don't want - out... without affecting the operation of the rest of the clan.
Problem not solved... not at all.
