If you re-read the very first paragraph of this suggestion, you would see that the "White list" is included in this suggestion, so no, you will not be approving guests "every single time they attempt to join", should you deem them welcome, of course. Moreover, this will be an optional feature (so you can choose not to use it), but I like to think it is common sense a good one, as I very rarely see any place in the World where guests enter without being given permission to, and thinking about it, it is for a good reason, because it is common courtesy to ask for permission first.

The current situation in R.S is not ideal in that sense, far from it. It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~Herman Melville

Mod Matthe's post about halfway through made it clear that the suggestions are not likely to get implemented due to technical issues.

With that caveat, I support the concept of giving clans (that choose to implement it) the ability to control access to the cc in any way that proactively deals with the "36 hour kidiot invasions" that happen to clans from time to time. If you haven't had one, count your blessings. With an open cc, we sometimes get flamed by someone who logs in with alt after alt after alt and its a pain to deal with and, if no admins are on and guests can talk, the rants go on for a while.)

We have 3 or more "serial" guests in our cc on a regular basis and want to keep it open for them. But we also would like to keep the miscreants out when they decide they have nothing better to do than disrupt our cc.

If and only if a developer can come up with a solution that can be implemented with less effort, that would be awesome.

Make it so we can put minimum requirements for guests to enter our clans. Our clan requirements are 2300 and we would love to be able to have an option to only allow guests that meet this requirement. Would pretty much solve the issue of those who use random alternate accounts to pester clans.

Also worth noting is the 100 limit on ban list. Although this sounds like a lot of space, in practice it really isn't sufficient for our clan.

Clans really need more options and tools to deal with these issues.

One thing we have done is given our Generals the ability to kick guests in a situation where leaders may be busy or not logged on. This is not a perfect solution, but it does provide a slightly larger base of clan members that can step in to sort out these types of situations. You may want to consider a temporary change in your clan settings if this is an issue for you as well.

The first suggestion would make a huge difference and something I suggested in a different post addressing this same situation. A mod commented there saying that they wouldn't or couldn't increase that ban limit due to technical issues.

I like the idea of having a list of approved guests.

I do not block all guests for the simple reason that we have guests that join us and stay in
clan chat almost every day.

I would hate to block the guests that contribute to the clan in positive ways just because
other guests come in and cause issues.

The clan ban list is no where near long enough.. As a clan you may have people who dislike one clan member so they will come in and disrupt because of this one clan member.


I support the idea of a list of guests who are allowed to join. Very good idea. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

I support this idea - The Imperial Legion have lately been having issues with people making f2p accounts to just join and troll - We don't wish to limit the CC to all guests but it'd be nice to authorise who can join before they do.

I would support ANY possible refinement on the current YES/NO option for allowing guests to enter our clan chat.

We currently have our CC closed a lot of the time.
:(
On occasion we open it. We became suspicious of random guests after scam-attempts. For us as a small yet complete clan safety and comfort for our members is more important then being open to other players.
