Tools to counter spies, and clan jumpers

[Godsmoker]

It's a tad annoying, these behaviors... It would be great if the devs could provide us with a simple tool to allow responsible clans to counter these practices. A simple log entry on a player profile that shows what clan(s) a player belonged to in the last 48 hours would be a great way to accomplish this without having to go to the lengths that some have proposed to address these "problems". What sayest thou?

There are privacy issues with that. Otherwise I would be all on with you.

its on us leaders to control it.

For spies, try this in order

1. If possible in your case just close the clan for the duration of the war.
2. If someone comes in note if they have a war timer, if they do and it matches your war timer that's a big red light.
3. While they are busy taking pictures sneak over to their clan and take a few of your own.
4. Let them in, ask if they want troops, give them pointers on what they should get screenshots of. Then beat them anyway.
5. Bury them in an anthill

For hoppers none of these are guaranteed solutions, but every one of them helps. Overall do these with a kindly but firm spirit.

1. Have a donate first rule. Also if they just toss a few archers just give that back. (None of this they give 5 archers you give a dragon stuff) Don't start giving higher troops until they have been there a bit. Hoppers are impatient and simply wont wait. This doesn't stop their hopping, just prevents you from paying for it. The prospective members you lose this way will be almost always hoppers that were just going to abuse you anyway. The rare guy you miss out on once in a great while you have to decide is worth it.
2. Anyone that is anxious to get troops as quickly as possible tell them they have to wait. Be firm. Especially if they say its an emergency. (This is just a game, true emergencies never happen here)
3. Do NOT include them in the first war. Welcome them to farm and spectate (give some troops but hold the good stuff until later) and if they can wait through then they can be in the second. Anyone that cannot do that never did have any long term intentions for your clan.
4. Make it clear to everybody that if anyone wants to leave after a war (any time after second attack) all they need to do is say so and its all good. Have a policy that they get their cc filled with the best troops the clan has to offer (and be true to your word) and will always be on good terms and welcome back. This is not sure fire but sometimes a guy that was looking for troops to use for his own self elsewhere can be swayed by the news he is getting those anyhow and sometimes that makes them decide to do their attacks so that when they hop on their way its with both full cc AND a war bonus. And the possibility they could do it again with that clan.
5. Bury them in an anthill.
