Read on for reducing clan clogging!!!

[Jietoh]

Im sorry for making you feel this way, but his is not a matter of winning or losing/being beaten, it is simply my opinion. I've only attempted to explain why I can't support any idea that infringes on aothers game experience.

What game experience? We're talking about INACTIVE players, players who haven't even logged on for (x time, months perhaps) to empty collectors, and we're not even talking about individual players who haven't logged on, we're talking about whole clans who have not logged on.

If a clan is made up of one or two or even 10 players who haven't logged on in months, then deleting that clan would have no impact on their game experience because they don't HAVE a game experience. Sure if someone or perhaps several someones came back after being absent for this extended period of time they would find themselves with out a clan. It is a minor inconvience for them to be forced to reform their clan in this remote scenario.

Don't make me quote Spock on you!..

Do you change clan that much for you to have a problem with clan congesting?

The problem with the quote is that this idea isn't needed, it's wanted.

Thanks for playing...

Need is a strong word when applied to a cell phone / tablet game...

The need in this case is that legitimate, active players are being blocked from finding and joining legitimate, active clans because they can't find them. How many good players have been blocked from joining your clan because search results only show a page full of inactive, 1 and 2 player clans?

Do I need to somehow create a clan name with unique, uncommon words in order for people to find me? Yes, that's one of the tips on creating clans found in this guide: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...09#post2172309

One of the things many people don't realize is choosing your own clan name, many players choose names that are totally unoriginal and therefore have been chosen numerous amounts of times in the past, there are many names that have been chosen in the past and some of them have over 20 pages of clans with the exact same name, so when you are choosing your clan name, do not choose these below which are examples of ones that have been chosen numerous amounts of times

(edit, list removed)

If you were to search any of these clan names below, you will probably get hundreds of results and now your clan is someone in there, you won't want to search for your clan which will probably take a long time and there is no fun in that at all (edit, bold is added for emphasis)

According to this guide which is stickied in the clan talk forum: This is a legitimate problem and his proposed work around it to chose a name other than what you would normally want to chose.

Removing inactive, dead clans, would solve 80% of this issue. (the other 20% is the estimated number of remaining active clans after the dead wood has been cleared)...

What about
A tag to inactive clans

What about
A tag to inactive clans

I support this if the tag means the clan wont show up in a search nor will it show up as a recommended clan.

*Claps* Thank you, someone who understands

As ive said before, this wont solve the problem, simply make it a bit less "bad".

A LOT of great idea aren't needed, but wanted!

Its not just me *rolls eyes*, everyone experiences this problem! Do you think that I am the only clasher that encounters inactive clan junk when searching for a legitimate clan?!
