'it defeats the purpose of being in a clanā¦āyou should be Proud to Sport a Clan tag and support the clan your inā
'who thought this up?
'i just asked a friend where his clan tag was? he said he hides it for clan battlesā¦
'What? 
'why Be in a clan if not for the clan tagā¦i Never Ever seen this before in Any gameā¦ 
'sorry. but if your not going to wear the clan tag then you need to go solo.
it just donāt make senseā¦ 
Itās just a game man - who cares if they have tags or not?
Also - itās your clan. You got the crown, drop the hammer. If you feel the need to enforce a clan rule then kick them if you think your right.
I have a weird feeling some might think your wrong though.
I used to have a clan leader that would get pissed if you teamed up with other clans for PvP and Raidsā¦ thatās some weird stuff right there.
itās the one Only reason you join a clanā¦been this way for ever in Gamingā¦
i love we have alot of friends and allies in games and we can play together,but dropping/hiding your clan tag,well,not coolā¦
whatās cool isā¦showing your tag when your grouped with other clans,like my friends in Bov,Aic, ectā¦
āall this hiding info is going to farā
'and i care,why bother joining a clan now if you hide that your in a clan.
I like this feature.
Could be useful when inviting a new player, or someone who doesnāt behave the way the leader wants the clan to be represented, e.g., often doesnāt finish battles. But is useful for grinding. So the leader could keep them on the condition that they hide the clan tag. A bit weird situation, āI want you for grinding me badges, but I donāt like you that much,ā so maybe not. 
Probably more useful to one of those fancy accounts named in all spaces, Asian letters, etc. To hide their profile even more.
Or an entire clan could agree to hide the tag, and nobodyād know who they are, where theyāre from. Mysterious and deadly. They could all rename to just spaces. Total ghost mode. Ghost Protocol. Hide and seek. Space Ghosts. Spectre Squad. Invisible, incorporeal, nameless menace. Donāt look under your bed. 
For myaybe the first time ever, im with Mud on this one.
Represent! RCOM (Rando Commandos)
If you feel its a tactical advantage, then obviously your clan isnāt well known, meaning you probably need some petty percieved advantage. Just my 2 cents.
the main reason is because of people who hold grudges and go out of their way to harass others. Generally, these type of people donāt remember the name of the person that pissed them off, they only remember the clan tag and, thusly, start harassing players that donāt deserve the salt simply based on the clan tag.
People get caught up in all this non-important stuff.
This is an issue with peoples weak EGOs - just have fun.
Here is a good quote to help in video games and life
āDonāt sweat the small stuff. Itās all small stuff.ā
I have no idea why this option would ever exist if they are pushing clan participation. (to be clear, i donāt care one way or the other)
Seems contradictory to the last year of patches tbh.
Itās because people complain about having to be in a clan. Now they can pretend to be solo.
did we get a reset on the clan tag for the five letter change?
i dont know what your saying,but i got 5 letters,and yes 'i did change the clan name through voting,they wanted something differentā¦
They must have had to add a 5th letter because so many clans now for badges.
itās 200 coins. So not free, but not too bad.
I still canāt have T.W.A.T. for Together We Are Terrific though. 
Yes, same here thats the reason because many player donāt like Clan.
Most of time Clans players are freinds in true life too and in not easy to say āHei guy today i donāt like play togheter, i like play soloā, you can belive or not but there are people donāt understand what is the privacy that everybody sometime need.
One of my friends has an abusive friend that likes to argue and fight about lots of stupid stuff for no real reason, just a very toxic guy. This same toxic individual also has me blacklisted (thankfully), so I donāt have to listen to or talk to him. I am also a clan owner, so if the toxic guy sees anyone with my clan tag, he will get mad that they are talking to me (because again, heās toxic and doesnāt like me). So my friend (who is also in my clan) disabled his clan tag so he can act like heās not in my clan and avoid getting into another argument with the toxic guy. It might not affect everyone, probably doesnāt even affect MOST people, but it is helpful to my friend, and for that I think it should stay.
They should ditch that friend
Only use I can imagine for hiding clan tag option is for people who keep running 4-man teams and cheesing through pvp matches so much that then when they try to solo, people spot their clan tag and just focus on taking out frustration against the group that keeps cheesing it
Or, for people who donāt want to admit theyāre playing in groups with clanmates while doing it so they too avoid the general frustration of players against this stuff, usually when thereās some 4-man metacheese group being full of themselves I see a lot of matches going from trying to win to just managing to destroy as many players of this 4-man group as possible, win or loose the match
I hide mien purely to make my name look cleaner in the lobby, prefer people to recognize my name not my tag
I donāt bother hiding mine. With the clans not being listed fully in search itās hard enough to get new members. I can understand if people want to hide theirs but itās basically free effortless advertising for your clan keeping them visible.
