Still plenty of cheaters!

For Wells549 read below for a quick run down.....

I thought that most of the people new about this new safer way of modding, but as I see that it is unknown for some people I will explain what most of the Top Clans (and some of the non Top Clans) do:
-As soon as the 24h war attack period start, a TH11 base copy the target TH11 base design and set it up as farming base.
-He cannot send this base for a FC before 24h.
-If he brings a burner (small Th5-Th6 account that uses mod), this burner can practice in any farming base of any member of the clan, but if SC finds out that there is an account with mod in the clan. they will ban the clan for 2 weeks.
-To avoid this, the TH11 goes to a level 1 clan with only one account there (the burner), and he can practice with the burner as much as he wants.
-The TH11 goes back to the original clan, smashes the target, and if anything SC will ban the small TH5 burner and the small level 1 clan.
-Clash of Clans will never unleash its true potential as a eSport until they manage to erase all modding options from the game. It is a pitty, mods are killing the game.

Problem there is if they happen to be using public WiFi, they could ban someone that had the misfortune to be playing in the same area, using the same WiFi.

Yes that would be a problem, not sure how, but SC has a new trick up their sleeves

Don't quit jimati. Maybe your next step would be to explain that the mods they are using doesn't need to use the fcs feature.

My guess is that they know EXACTLY what is out there and how it works. They're too big not too right?

I think you are likely right, but also likely there is a big gap between knowing what is there and being able to implement a robust 100% reliable system for dealing with that. Blessings upon the psychic octopus, whom we hope will develop further tentacles of steel soon!

Not everyone who beats you in war is cheating obviously. But as mentioned before (if you read), if the top th11s leave the opponents clan only to reunite with a th3 burner account in lvl 1 clan. Then come back to main clan and 100% 3 star ALL of you custom th11 bases you should think somthing fishy is going on.

Then couple that evidence with the discussed process, you can bet they are cheating!

So they where mocking you, they could do it way more discrete if they wanted.

Yes, I'm very grateful that sc found a way to detect modders and finally ban them. Sadly, it came years after the problem first got out of control. And while the octopus is shrine worthy, it's not complete.

Burners are a growing concern. And let us not forget about sandbaggers. Between the two of them, it's a bleak looking future for cw.

But fear not young forum sapling! Sc says they're working on it. Actually they've been saying that for years, but I'm gullibly optimistic.

Plus! Solutions for sandbagging have been presented throughout the forums. Hopefully we're just waiting for sc to pick one (see simpsons movie for my preferred selection method) and implement it.

Plus plus plus! Clash is not the first game to be crippled by modders. Other companies have been plagued by the same bunny factory and they've totally eradicated the vermin (even got a public apology in one case).

So join me on my boat of naive and gullible optimism (there's plenty of space). Only it's strongly recommended not to hold your breathe while waiting for sc to give us fair play.

Have had several 1 troop drop or 1 hero drop and leave attacks on my bad recently. Hadn't seen these for a while, are bots back in force?

That is someone wanting to drop their own trophies lower, not someone cheating.

TL;DR Sorry.

BoomBeach have a quite nice feature "If you leave during a active "TF" War" you wont get the rewards.

Maybe this could be implemented in CoC War. If you leave during a active war you cannot enter the clan again.
End of problems with ppl leaving for a "mOd" clan ... ???

Yes it is harsh and radical, and it will impact the clashers way of free movement. And trips to ask for troops outside own clan.
if the clan wont donate troops, is it worth hanging around ?

Edit: typos

However if you commit to a war stay in the war until it finishes, then you are free to hop around.
If you are forced to war by an incentive leader. Too bad. Leave find another clan wait for timer to run out and war again.

Just a terrible idea. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to leave/join clans during an active war... including, but not limited to, obtaining higher level CC reinforcements, donating to others for their war, and general diplomacy.

I'm not sold without pictures, that this is all really a problem. I see players leave my opponent's clans almost every war. They often use it (apparently) to obtain higher level units for CC reinforcements, and probably do the same thing I do, which is join other clans to maintain friendships.
