And I've made my case against why it shouldn't be completely public above, and suggested an alternative method of implementing the system into the forum.
My point is: some users want their privacy from the general playerbase. There isn't a negative to having the clan history list as an opt-in/opt-out aside from a couple people getting upset when a random person leaves their clan because they're a clan hopper.
So the only negative to your system is the exact reason why the OP complained in the first place? This sounds like shit problem-solving.
It seems like you're prioritising the privacy (muh rights) of clan hoppers like yourself at the expense of a system that'll do what the OP wants. There's no purpose, other than protecting clan hoppers, that an opt-in system serves.
proposed solution you definitely ignored
Proposed fix for clan leaders: make it mandatory for your applicants to show you their clan history with their application if you feel so strongly about seeing their clan history. If they don't, deny their application into your clan. Simple.
So uh, pardon me if I'm pretty indifferent to this system not being entirely what the OP wants - this system doesn't just impact the OP, it impacts the entire community. Take a look at the community picture rather than just the perspective of the thread poster - if you can't, then discussion in this board really isn't for you anyway.
Again, there's no reason to do any of the stuff you suggest other than to protect clan hoppers.
And yes, you're prioritising the interests of the clan hopper subsection over the interests of anti clan hoppers. Don't try and act like you're looking at the broader community picture when your solution only serves to protect the interests of the clan hopper section of our community.
Also, you should count to 10 before posting. That last bit was super cringey, and it makes you sound like some redfaced angry child that can't deal with opposing opinions. Not a good look.
No, he's trying to protect privacy. For someone who argues as much as you, I'd expect you to at least be able to read between the lines.
The original suggestion is a blatant invasion of privacy, and you supporting it is past the point of satire.
