A possible fix to the global issue

[Sameem]

Good idea. I like this much actually, but i do think that Supercell can make some improvements themselves too. So that 8 year olds wont join.

Very good idea! Ive seen many 6-8 year olds that are joking around global chat, so i need to mute them all the time
But maybe a Year chat would work? The age u have on the forums will be your chat until u fill year. like 18+ chat, 12 chat and maybe 6-8 chat! But great idea u have!

brilliant idea by the way

I really don't like the idea.
I've been playing CoC for about a year or so, and as you can see, I only recently got a forum account. I'm pretty sure I don't have 50 posts yet, and I need the global chat to recruit for my clan.

You have far more than 50 posts, 114 in fact. Also, I dont think OP meant for global to be replaced, merely forum chat added.
But I dont see how 8 year olds can be prevented from getting an account here.

I'm pretty sure at the time he/she didn't have 50 posts...ost
And yes, they can't be prevented from getting a forum account. But most of the immature 8 year olds will just spam to get post count, and then... ban.

If some of the 8 year olds don't spam, now we know they aren't the immature 8 year olds...

I think it's a good idea, but I would actually take it one step further. I would like to be able to search for players by name (as we can with clans), and send a player-to-player message. Add a couple of restrictions to prevent exploiting this or trading insults (i.e. cooling off periods and/or preventing messages to people in your attack/defense log), and I think it could be a valuable addition to the game. This would allow coordination between allied/feeder clans, and establish connections between people in the game without all the ♥♥ that happens with the current global setup.

I don't think the game needs any kind of in-game global chat at all.

I wouldn't take it that far.
I could just remember the name of a person on my revenge list, and when they aren't on the revenge list, I can send a message to them saying something like, "You $hith0le idi0t" and it probablly wouldn't filter that.
Also there are many people with the same name (i.e. Bob)

Probably true. So maybe do away with the messaging portion then, and just allow clan invites, or allow leaders to talk to one another.

The hard part is doing all this in a way that is effective and doesn't violate the privacy policy SC has in place. For that reason alone, the messaging thing is probably a non-starter. But a player search/invite feature and/or a "Your Suggested Clans" feature based on trophy count / XP level *COULD* work, and be a lot more effective than global. One restriction could be that invite only or closed clans wouldn't populate in the list, so clans could keep the number of applicants under control.
