Please Lose the Timeout in Clan Mail

[Deadtoast15]

Yes that would get over any problems with the length of the message. Provining your co says what you want him to of course ;-)
However, don't you think it would be better if little problems like this were simply ironed out rather than having to improvise workarounds for them. I don't want to be writing messages in notepad and counting the words or emailing a co leader the other half of a message or any of that. The interface just needs to be a little more user friendly in my opinion.

You think of it as complicated and it's not. In my clan the Co's and I have an outside of coc chat where we discuss rule changes, ideas, etc etc. We also if needed do the 2 part mail. Ill send first part then i type the second part in the group chat and that person can copy paste it. Its as simple as that. No complications. IF you think a Co is not going to put what you want them to say then that just means you do not trust that person as a Co so why is he/she even a Co in the first place?

Sorry, tthe title was very misleading..

yep. i mistook "timeout" for "cooldown"

I was thinking the same until I read ropepirate's post, which made me read the first post over and over again until I realized the actual thing he was talking about.

I am aware of the wide array of alternative communication availabe. I am also very pleased for all of you who can type fast enough to never encounter this problem. Well done.
However, in my opinion it is still a pain in the ♥♥♥♥ to be kicked for taking too long to type a message and nobody has come up with a reason why it is necessary to do so. Why has nobody given a reason why one should be kicked for taking too long to type a clan mail? Because there isn't one. It is a fault, a side effect of the user interface, a glitch. Granted, it doesn't affect everybody, not even most people but for me and plenty of others, it would be nice if Supercell could fix it. That is all.

Inactivity timer is 5 minutes.

That seems ... reasonable ... to send a clan mail?

The problem is that if you notice a typo or grammatical error, the earlier in your message the longer you have to take to re-type everything again. If i could just jump to that error, correct it and move on - no worries.

But because of the lack of this simple editing feature, this does cause several timeouts.

Simple, type inputs maintain your online status. It can't be abused any more then people can do to stay online up to 6 hours. Either way, it'd be great to have.

You make sound easy, but your solution is not very useful; for one thing, I do know which Clash of Clans you are using, but in my current version, you cannot cut, copy or paste in any of the following text boxes -- Global or clan chat, clan profile description, or clan mail. Indeed, if we could select, cut, copy & paste then we would not be complaining because we could simply use a real world text editor to prepare our message, & then paste it into the COC textbox. Also, we could put the cursor anywhere in the text to edit what was in the textbox. Until Supercell makes that possible, we will just continue our frustration & cussing at Supercell until we go & find a better game & more responsive Game Company!

Don't be rude to the game developers (in terms of "cussing", as said in the quote).

Until you find a better game and more responsive game developers/company? What, you're gonna quit CoC?!

Are you sure it isn’t the virtual keyboard you use that limits your cut and paste ?

Have you tried voice recognition ?

I signed up today specifically to report this problem. I'm tired of running out of time while writing group mail. Does anyone from coc/supercell actually read these forums?
