Hello and welcome to r/clashofclansrecruit!
On behalf of the mod team, we're glad that you're here. Many clans and players have posted here with success so we hope you find that here too. Everyone using our sub should fall into one of two categories: a recruiter trying to build their clan or a player trying to find a clan. We think of the sub as a space for teams and teammates to connect so our goal is to make this subreddit as useful as possible to both groups. The best way to achieve that goal is by creating an environment where every clan has the opportunity to recruit fairly, and users can easily sort for what types of players/clans they are interested in.
In order to keep a level playing field for all to post here, we have rules in the sidebar (desktop) or the 3 dot menu (mobile, top right corner) about title formatting and how often you can post. We understand that each additional rule is a barrier to posting so we have tried to provide clear instructions. We feel that the rules in place are easy enough to follow while making for the best user experience.
If this is your first time here, please read the following so you have a smooth first-time-posting experience:
1) Read our rules.
This post won't go over every rule in the sidebar, so please make sure you read our full rules in the sidebar (desktop) or the "see more" blue link at the top of the sub (mobile), or in the 3 dot menu in the top right hand corner, choose "Learn more about this community" (mobile). Rule #1 is to be civil.
- We do allow adult language in posts, but slurs, racism, or anything terribly offensive may be removed.
- Negative comments about a clan will be removed (see lower down on this policy).
- Insults will be removed.
- Recruiting or asking to merge on other people's [Recruiting] posts is rude: please don't.
- Follow Reddiquette
We may issue a ban depending on the severity of rulebreaking and is at the moderator’s discretion. Please see the sidebar for the other rules and post/title formatting instructions.
2) You (or your clan) may only post once per week, per clan.
If you are a recruiter trying to post for your clan, your clan may only make one post per week. If you are a player searching for a clan, you may only make one post per week though you may use that one post to list multiple accounts if you so desire.
We use to help maintain consistency and constancy in posting timers. We will remove any additional posts you make for the next 6 days along with a timer telling you when you can post again. For those who post here regularly and follow the weekly rule, this should allow you to post on the same day each week with no issues. We have a “one post per week” rule to reward posters who regularly interact with our sub but also so we are not pandering to bots or users who may flood the sub with nonstop ads.
Clan Families: If you need to recruit for multiple clans and have issues, please send us a Modmail located in the bottom of the sidebar so we can help you out. When making individual clan posts, your post must be primarily focused on that individual clan though you may mention the rest of your clan family. You may not make a clan family post AND individual clan posts within the same week.
The very first time you post here, PatienceBot will send you a message to say hello and remind you of the rule. This doesn't mean anything is wrong!
Side Note: Using additional accounts to post more than once per week for the same clan will result in bans. The length and type of ban is at moderator discretion based on the degree of abuse. If you just observe the rules and pay attention if warned, you'll be fine; permabans don't happen on accident.
3) Your title is important for your post to be made.
You can find more information in the “Post and Title Format” section of the sidebar (desktop) or "see more" link at the top of the sub (mobile), as well as in rule 6. Titles are important because some of our bots work off of your title; if it is missing information or improperly formatted it will likely be automatically removed. So do us both a favor, and format your title right on the first try. Please send us a Modmail (bottom of the sidebar) if you’re having issues and need help.
All posts must begin with one of the following tags (with the square brackets) typed into the title:
• [Recruiting]
• [Searching]
• [Merging]
If not, Automoderator will remove your post. Spelling matters! There are two "i"s in Recruiting and a second “r”. You need to use square brackets and not parentheses or braces.
In the body of your post, you should also include information about your clan, your account info, etc. It is also necessary to include your exact clan name and clan tag for [Recruiting] and [Merging] posts. This helps us track how often clans are posting to enforce our weekly posting rule.
Here are some examples of well-formatted titles:
- Searching:
- Format: [Searching] Town Hall Level | Player Tag | IGN | Min. Clan Level | Farming/Competitive/Social
- Example: [Searching] th13 | #C00LT4G | AwesomeName | th12+ | Farming
- Recruiting:
- Format: [Recruiting] Name of Clan | #ClanTag | Required TH/Level | Clan Level | Farming/Social/War/Push/War Farm/Arranged War/etc (pick one or a few that apply) | Clan System Affiliation (or Independent if none)
- Example: [Recruiting] Awesome Clan | #CL4NT4G | Th9+ | Lvl 7 | Farming/Social | Independent
Reddit does not allow moderators or users to edit titles, so whatever you do in your title is permanent. If it's not close enough to the format, the only way to fix it is to start from scratch with a new post. If you are having trouble, please send us a Modmail (bottom of the sidebar) so we can help get you posting.
4) This is not the place for disputes or negative reviews.
If you have an issue with a player or clan, keep it to yourself. While it's tempting to warn others, this sub has no way of verifying any claims made, so there is no difference between truth and slander. For that reason, we don't allow any arguments or negative reviews to be made. If you don't like a clan, please scroll through the sub and find another that may suit you.
Please help us by reporting any arguments or negative feedback you see and we'll get it removed.
Those breaking this rule will receive a ban of proportional length to the severity of the comment.
5) Moderators have ultimate discretion.
We attempt to enforce the rules as fairly and consistently as possible. We will act in what we believe is equitable and in the interest of the sub. If you disagree with any action, you may send a Modmail, but please remain polite. Asking nicely and explaining mistakes or asking for clarification and understanding is a good approach.
That's all from us! Good luck!

Hey, are you allowed to make a post in German if you‘re looking for german speaking players? And if yes, does the title have to be english?
Hi, your post looks great and we appreciate you working on that!
And what is your answer? German allowed or not?
Hi! Yes, as long as the post and comments follow the rules and formatting instructions, we do allow this.
My post keeps getting taken down don’t understand what I’m putting that’s not allowed
Hi! Please read this post that you're commenting on. You need square brackets, not curvy ones. Please send us a Modmail if you need further assistance, thanks!
Wifawub, patience bot took down my updated post. Could you help?
Yup, I got you 👍
I cannot choose flair or tags, help.
Flair is auto-assigned when the post is approved. Have you had a chance to read this exact post you are commenting on or the rules in the sidebar? Please send us a modmail after you've read them if you need further assistance, thanks!
Unable to post without adding an attachment but also unable to add an attachment
No attachments please. Please read this post that you are commenting on and if you're still having issues, send us a modmail. Thank you!
I’m having the same issue. It won’t let me post because it says this subreddit requires an attachment but it also says it doesn’t allow attachments
Same here. Any fix?
No, but I just figured out that if you save it as a draft and edit it later it won’t let you post it, so you have to post the 1st draft right after you put your info in
Whoa that is great to know so thank you for reporting back!

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
I keep trying to post with the correct format and it says my title is wrong every time. Can you tell me what’s wrong with it if I message you the title?
Looks like you figured it out! If you need help in the future, please send us a Modmail, thanks!
Nice opportunity
Im sorry but im trying to post a recruitment post and its telling me that im required to add an attachment but when I try and do that I get notification saying im not allowed to add an attachment on this forum… am I doing something wrong? I’ve read through the rules and looked around and checked if anyone has had this issue but it doesn’t seem like it
Hi, no attachments allowed on our sub. Please review this post that you're commenting on or our rules in the sidebar and send us a modmail if you're still having issues, thanks!
Create a Word document to work through thoughts, structure, and format, then post it.
Why does my post keep getting removed? I’m following the guidelines and haven’t posted once yet
Hi,
Your post was filtered as spam by the main Reddit spam filter. We've approved it so it's up now. There are a variety of reasons this can happen that are out of our control so if you see this happen again, please send us a modmail.
Thanks!
Hi, my post about recruiting was taken down be reddit filters. I did follow the post guidelines. Please suggest how to overcome this.
u/Wifawub Any suggestions on this?
Hi, It looks like your most recent post is still up. Would you please send us a modmail if you continue to have issues? Comments on the Welcome Post aren't the best way to reach us, thank you!
[deleted]
Hi, since you're not [Recruiting] or [Searching] and you haven't made a post here, it looks like from your post history that you need to contact the moderators of r/ClashOfClans instead. You should be able to send them a modmail from this link: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=r%2FClashOfClans
Can you please allow my last post. I forgot about the format rules and needed a refresher. Thank you in advance.
It's still up so all should be well. Please send us a Modmail if you need further assistance, thanks!
how do i add the lines in between topics in the title?
Hi! It's a straight line bracket " | " and it's usually found in the special characters section of your keyboard. Normally it's with the square and curvy brackets.
Can I post my clan's discord server link on my recruitment post?
Usually yes, this is ok.
Sweet
Hey so I’m recruiting for my clan, I posted yesterday and I tried posting again today and it got removed does that mean I have to next till next week?
Hi, can you please send us a modmail so we can address your questions there! Thanks!
👌👌👌
Hi i have a question for a mod
Hi, please send us a modmail if you need further assistance that isn't answered in either this post or the rules listed in the sidebar. Thanks!
My post got removed but it follows the rules?
Hi, your post was removed because you're missing the opening square bracket " [ " in the " [Recruiting] " tag. You may post again today with a corrected title and please send us a Modmail if PatienceBot takes it down so we can look at it. The comments of our welcome post isn't the best way to reach our mod team.
Example:
[Recruiting] Clan Name | #clantag | Townhall 6+ | Clan Level 7 | Social/Pushing | ACS Verified
Thanks!

Im just looking to join a clan, how would I go about posting for that?
Hi, welcome! You'll want to read this post that you're commenting on, specifically Section 3. You're going to be making a [Searching] post with no sentences in the title, and at minimum your TH levels in that title. So please read this post or the Title Formatting Instructions in the sidebar (see more info link at the top of the sub's main page) and send us a Modmail if you need more assistance, thanks!

How should non-English-speaking clans attract people to join their clan? When will you redesign your clan's recruitment system???
Hi! We do allow clans to advertise here in their native language as long as the submissions follow the rules of the subreddit. If your issue is with Supercell's in game recruiting system, we suggest you send them feedback as we have nothing to do with that and are not employees of SuperCell! If you need further assistance, please send us a Modmail, thanks!
Hey I’m new to all this. My post got taken down bc I didn’t do the title right. I think I fixed it. Can you help me?
Hi, please read this post that you are commenting on or the Title Formatting Instructions in the sidebar and send us a Modmail if you need further assistance after that. Your title is not yet formatted correctly so we can't put your post up. You can check out some of the other posts on the sub too! Thanks
Why is my recent post removed? Can you please help?
Hi, you've posted 3 times already and your second post is still up. The spam filter is likely removing your other posts because it appears you're spamming the sub with the same content so please stick with the one post per week (7 days) per clan posting rule and send us a modmail if you need further assistance, thanks!
hi! where can i find my clan tag?
Under your clan's name in your clan profile tab
what am I doing wrong
Hi, usually reposting very similar content multiple times after a removal looks very much like a bot/spam so in the future, if you need help, please send us a modmail. I've approved one of your posts so it's up now.
One post per week please.
Thanks and good luck!
Can we post Two times in 1 week if we have 2 clash of clans accounts and is searching for clans?
No, but you can list both of your accounts in the same [Searching] post. You can list both TH levels in the title so recruiters know you have two accounts and explain in the body of the post. No sentences in the title please. Thanks!
Why aren’t my posts going thru 😮💨
Looks like you figured it out!
I don’t understand how to make a proper title can you help?
Hi, please read this exact post on which you are commenting (specifically Section 3), check out some of the other posts on the sub, and please send us a Modmail if you need more help! Thanks!

Is there any rule against recruiting but just temporary?
Can you please send us a Modmail so we can discuss this further with you? Thanks!
how do I do that?
I wrote wrong clan tag in title, i couldn't find any way to edit that, thought I'd remove the post and then post another one but after posting new one, patience bot removed it. This happened to me last week too but then I didn't know how to use reddit, so I won't complain about last time.
