When wars been declared , new spectators should be blocked from seeing the war bases . Spying by the enemy clan is not in the spirit of the game but getting more and more common . If someone genuine wants to join our clan we must reject them in case they are trying to see where the hidden traps are situated . Supercell needs to sort this in fairness 😳
Close clan during war. If you are needing to constantly be recruiting even during war just to keep your numbers up you have bigger problems than just a few spies.
You can cover some of those problems by recruiting into a separate staging clan and requiring guys to wait there through one full war (they should spend this time farming, donating, and establishing themselves as a good and active member) before they can move over to the fighting clan.
A revolving door policy is never good. for a war clan. Don't go with the 'but we have to' reasoning, that's just guys with no imagination thinking their own situation is some special case that's harder than everyone else's. Learn not to. Many clans do and are better for it.
Also, even if you do the above, show decoy bases on prep day then swap them just before going live. the best decoy base should still be able to defend well, just do it a different way from the main base. If it looks a lot like the main base with just a few pieces moved around that is even better.
Another way to handle spies is to actually let them in, but have them get pictures of decoy bases that are exactly the same except the traps are different. Now you are using their own spying against them and its fun watching them make mistakes later knowing that you caused that when you fed them the bad info.
its your clans job to do something like one of the above things to handle spying. It is not SCs job to prevent it. Its a far part of the game and who comes out on top is who plays at it better. (So make sure that is you)
An advantage you do have is that clans that spy are often less good at attacking and analysis. The clans that are really good at that stuff don't bother spying as they don't for that extra effort get any extra info that they can't figure out anyhow.

If everything angers you then you will spend your entire life being angry.
If everything pains you then you will spend your entire life in pain.
You argue case to keep Spying really well but it makes recruiting extremely hard for a clan that likes to war back to backOriginally Posted by rwelshjr
They should not do away with spying. It is a legitimate tactic and is not necessarily an advantage, that depends on who plays the game better. A smart clan wants anyone coming into their clan to see the traps and such that they choose t show them. Again that is part of the game and the advantage goes to who plays it better.
Clan that uses back to back war as an excuse they can't deal with spies has poor leadership with little imagination. even after giving tips to deal with it I see your head is stuck on "I can't". You need to change that because this is your job to handle. Not SCs'.

I think the simple answer is just don't accept any new mates during a war. Is it that hard? We had a mate, that unknown to us- had a second account, same name as his first but with a "2" on the end of the name. He joined the enemy clan, and never got booted during the war, even when his main account was attacking them. Did we do anything with it other than laugh? No...it doesn't change anything in the war. If we want recon we simply have a low mate hit the base in question. Not that hard.
REJECT! don't accept anyone except for if you or your members know whom her/him. Simple as that.
I agree with you but i think spying should be banned because more and more people try to sneak into your clan during the war to try to see where the hidden traps and teslas, bombs are and it makes that clan at an absolute disadvantage that is why clan leaders need to close their clans to everyone else during a war so that people can actually have a clan war without being discouraged
Spying is part of the game. You dont Need to Close your clan. There are tons of other Solutions like:
.) Only recruit through a Feeder clan (has other Advantages as well)
.) Dont have too many elders/cos. I have 3 elders in my clan even with about 40 members that are here for over half a year. Dont promote elders only because they have good donations.
.) Always check the member list of the enemy clan. If the enemy clan is not closed I get in 80% of the time even with an account in the cw list. They only see lvl110 and click accept.
.) Dont accept requests that are not in your native language.
.) Wait a few minutes before accepting new members. If they join another clan after 10 minutes, they would have left anyway. Most spies dont wait forever.
First things first I think that spying on clans is garbage. That being said let's be real if we are playing a war type game then what is more involved in real war than spying. They call it recon in the real world. If you let yourself get caught and your clan be exposed then shame on you. SC will never do anything about it cause it's not a problem that needs to be solved. You have the ability to keep the clan closed or make it invite only if you choose not to do this then shame on you. For more tips and tricks check us out: http://drivingforcesclan.blogspot.com/
