Clan Leadership will be notified via email if a warning is placed.   Definition of a Ghost Clan  A Ghost Clan is a Clan that is inactive on the Global Map (GM) that Applies for Landings (on the GM) with no intention of showing up to the battles. This is done Solely to affect the times that battles happen on for the land (usually for the landholder).   Usually, these Clans have players that haven't played battles in over a year or are alt accounts.   An Abusing Clan is a Clan that is active on the GM, usually has multiple pieces of land. Due to the amount of land that they hold and when their battles are happening they use Ghost Clans to change the time the time when their defenses happen. Usually, the Abusing Clan has access to the commander of the Ghost Clans account and they are the ones controlling the moves the Ghost Clan makes on the GM.   Things that will be reviewed in Supports Investigation of a suspected Ghost Clan:   How many Battles the “Ghost Clan” has missed versus how many they have attended Of the battles missed how many were pieces of land held by the Suspected Abusing Clan If the accounts that are making moves on the Global map are being shared More Importantly, if the accounts that are making moves on the Global map are being shared with the Suspected Abusing Clan If the Ghost Clan attended any other battles on the map during that time.
