The clan i set up was hacked into by a player yes you got it it was the referral program set up by wg  . Not though you wanted a non discript player in your clan you had no choice it forces them on you . Next move you remove them , so you think the notification bell says there still there . funny why dose it not say they have been removed ? all its doing is saying you have been hacked , look at me , we have crap on you and we are rubbing your nose in it       .I disbanded the clan and i will change the name / but wait look who is waiting in the notification bell yes hes still there . he will be in your clan like a ferret up a drain pipe      Makes you wonder what other tricks wg can force on you

The issue:
When in Referal Program, the Legionaires were accepted automatically.
The Clans not had to invite or accept them.

 

The OP is reporting that one of them was using malicious code against his Clan.


Somehow he received a message "you have been hacked".

 

He even had to disband his unit and therefore he had a finacial loss.

 

The unwanted player still appears in the notifications?

 

 

Is it really too hard for you all to try to be helpful?
All I can see here is spam and trolling.

So someone sent a message to OP saying they got hacked, when they actually didn't and OP disbanded his clan because of believing that message...?

Is it really too hard to structure a request for help in at least reasonably coherent sentences?

 

So someone joined his clan, ok. Then what, sent them a message claiming they hacked their way into the clan?

 

If he disbanded is clan just because some random dude joined it via the Legionnaire program and trolled him with an "I hacked you, lol" post then I'm not seeing how that is WG to blame.

Just seen that I had a notification for our clan. (The little bell symbol).

When I looked at it, it showed as an expired application, but it wouldn't clear until I opened the application. Once I had read it, the bell cleared.

I hope that isn't the case for the OP because if it is, he just disbanded the clan for no reason.

I read that text 5 times and still did not get what he was on about specifically. Most simply just asked for a clarification vs trolling. Because that wall of text was not easy to piece together tbh.

I have a notitication for an invite to a clan, I joined weeks ago. Nothing I have tried thus far has removed it. Do you have any suggestions as to why it remains and can you make a suggestion that will fix the problem. thank you.

Notification bell still shows for a clan invite that expired weeks ago, I assume it'll be there forever. I also have a little red new mission  notification in the garage for a mission that doesnt exist - and thats even more annoying.

 

Funny thing is; you can't go to the invite the notification is for, it says 'its irrelevent as the deadline has expired' so its a never ending notification for a thing that doesn't even exist. It's a bit kafkaesque.

I wish I could, but I don't know enough about the mechanics of the application system. 

All I know is, my screen showed a bell in the top corner, and the clan page showed an application that expired. I was able to look at the player who had applied, and the "dismiss" button worked. 

As it is not something I use on a frequent basis, I cannot remember exactly what has happened in the past, but I know this one stayed for a week or two and then suddenly the "dismiss" cleared it. The same thing happened, if I remember correctly, with an aplication that was accepted. The request did not clear from the screen for about a week.
