Suggestion: Add a timer so that new members can't donate troops immediately
//Title is misleading after the update. This is going to be a long read.. so brace yourselves. You can skip to TLDR part for a quick overview.
Dear Supercell Team,
I am sure you are loaded up with the request to change the current gameplay mechanism for ‘new members’ in a clan. They are creating a lot of nuisance in this game, ranging from harassment to spying during wars.
I would like to bring your notice one such issue that a group of players are facing in this game due to new members. The issue is affecting all clans which have selected their setting as ‘anyone can join’, and specifically a subgroup of free troops donating clans operating in that setting (More info about donation clans can be found here - *I would do a post on donating clans and link it here).
My clan is also a donating clan, which keeps its setting as ‘anyone can join’. We like to gain experience in the game by helping relatively new players, and level up in turn. But ever since it became common knowledge that donating giants are the fastest way to level up in the game, some players have been abusing this feature. They get in clans clan which keep their setting as anyone can join, fill all the open requests with giants, leave that clan and repeat the procedure on and on.
Donating clans have been worst hit by this abuse. We get a lot of troop requests per minute, which can be judged by the fact that some of the donation clans hit 2 million troops donated per season quite easily. As a result, we are ripe targets for these abusers. We are getting increasing number of such people who come into our clan and keep donating giants (giants are not allowed to be donated in interest of the players we serve) with boosted barracks until someone notices them and kicks them out. Even after being kicked, these guys join other donating clans and repeat this stuff. With the ban period on being kicked only 24 hours, these guys return again the next day and repeat this stuff.
These guys are knowingly donating wrong troops, and affecting others’ gameplay just for gaining some experience in game. As it stands, I, on behalf of clans with setting as ‘anyone can join’ the whole free troops donating community, request you to take care of this issue by including some mechanism in game that limits donating of new members, or in any other way helps to eliminate this ‘intentional’ wrong troops donation abuse.
This request of mine could be considered by Supercell in unison with all the problems which we are facing due to ‘new members’ in the current gameplay mechanism.
TLDR;
Issue: Players doing an intentional ‘wrong troops donation abuse’ by jumping clan and filling up all the empty requests
Affected parties: All the clans with setting as ‘anyone can join’, specially the free troops donating clans
Action sought from Supercell: Implement some feature in game to eliminate this abuse
Suggested solutions:
1. Providing an option in clan settings, where we can choose whether new members can donate troops or not
(Though permanent banning of players from a clan could be also be an effective solution, I have intentionally left it out because I feel permanent ban feature could also be abused easily)
Looking for community members to suggest some idea or other possible solutions.
