New Leadership Positions/Roles

[George1971]

I see this just got linked from a new sticky. Well done!

It want it, but want three vice leaders not two. Otherwise love it. Could live with two.

I just figured instead of making all these new positions with different rights we just have a promote option. The leader decides what your title will be and what rights u will have they can write anything when 'naming' your title while promoting u, leaders can name it whatever they want. and decide what rights u get like will u be able to accept clan join requests, invite ppl , send clan mail, change the bio , kick people , how long the cool down for a kick will be, can u start a clan war or not.....and all that. Just leave it to the leader to decide what he believes u should have the power to do.

I think roles and ranks/awards should be separate functions. Ranks/awards should be used to recognize people for their abilities to war, but just because they are a good warrior doesn't mean you want to give them administrative functions. It's like the difference between officers and enlisted in the military. You can recognize a true battle hero with a medal of honor, but that doesn't mean you put him in charge of an entire battalion. Maybe it's simpler for game devs to just create one function that attempts to achieve both recognition and administration, but to do it right, these two aspects of clan membership should be applied separately. I would like to be able to recognize good warriors without having to give them the ability to kick other members of the clan or to change clan settings or to post clan mail.

That sounds even better! I think (as a leader) it would add a fun thing to your clan were everyone has their own special rank.
Also I like to have more options, I mean elder is the lowest rank, but I would like a lower rank that can not accept people to the clan but can take troops from the donation bank.
And this would give me the ability to rightfully give my friend the rank of co-founder :P

I don't mean to advertise, but check out Custom Ranks in my sig. Probably a better solution. What will happen after people get tired of these ranks? What if people don't like them? What if a clan does not wish to micromanage?

Please don't advertise your thread on my thread. Its just disrespectful.

That is an interesting point. However, I can see that causing major problems within a clan.

Wow!!!!! Yes, I'm so thankful that this thread is in a sticky! Just got back from vacation, so it was a big surprise to see that! Vice leaders are only for you friends, second accounts, people you trust. I think three would be too much and make the rank less valuable.

Don't really know what you mean by awards. Please explain more.

Like I said above that would cause major problems within a clan. I also don't want to make things to hard on SC!!

I like that the new status is a different rank from a member.
Instead of adding a new rank between leader and co leader, why not add a new rank between elder and co-leader.

No, that wont work. If there was a new role it would have to be in between leader and co leader. Adding a rank between elder and co leader wouldnt be good.

say can u plz giv examples of what kind of problems it would cause because i thought it would solve more problems than it would cause .

The problem, is that a leader and a co-leader are near identical ranks (as the co-leader should be a second leader). So the vice-leader is technically a co-leader, but the captain should be the rank between a co/vice -leader and elder.
So I think the captain should have the roles:
- CAPTAIN (Is basically between co-leader and elder)
Only up to 10 members can be in this role.
They can kick anyone out except the leader and general manager, but have a 5 minute cool down.
They can promote players to elder, but not to any other rank.
They can demote elder, but not other captain.
They can start clan wars.
They can't edit the clan bio page.
They can't send mail.
They can accept people into the clan.

How would i know my role compared to a person in my clan? That totally defeats the purpose of clan roles.

No. Vice leader is not the same as co leader. I dont think you get the point of this thread and the new role. Vice leader is for your second accounts, best friends, people you really trust. Let say you are out on vacation and cant be on coc for a week. Who is gonna be in charge of the co leaders? The vice leaders. Yes, you can just give someone else leader. But who would give up leader in the clan? No one would because what if that person doesn't give you leader back? You lost your clan.
