But part of this guys post was that there would be a 'New' rank everyone would start at and then they got promoted to member. 'New' had the same powers (or lack of) as member except that 'new' could not see hidden traps, teslas, or cc troops. The reason I put this out is because those of us that like things as they are already still would not be disrupted by this being added. And the rest would feel better.

So obviously anyone that joins stays 'New' until end of war and spying is over. Guys that simply don't want spying can do it that way

For those (like myself) that prefer they get in so we can show them our decoy bases, we just pretend we are stupid enough to promote guys to member during wars so that then they can see our decoys, take their pictures and leave. We still get it the way we want. And to promote the guy is no more trouble than closing the clan. (even kind of fun as you make him 'talk you into it' so he is more sure than ever he is outsmarting you)

Above is the suggestion that was posted earlier in this thread.

I like this idea. It would mean "new" players wouldn't get any inside info until approved (seen to be giving donations or using turns in war)..

Why try to include them at all? I think if they just sit out the first war you then know they are not a spy. And you have better assurance they are not a hopper either.

But if you disagree with me that is ok. The way I wrote that suggestion different clans can run it however they want.

Of course, there is also the problem of new-enemy members jumping in and sabotaging the clan donations with low powered wall bombers etc. not sure how to counter that.

If they are doing that then you now know you have a saboteur and its easy to handle. Just kick them, and dump the bad troops from the cc. I mean, at some point a clan has to manage their issues themselves.

An easier solution would be do not allow war spectators to see traps or cc like they were not in the clan.

No, that's a bad idea. There are too many situations where clans want their spectators to be able to see everything. Spies aren't the only thing going on in the world ya know?

Even though I am trying to suggest a way to give the guys a protection without disrupting those that like things the way they are today, I tend to agree with you.
