A work around for clan security

I realize that most clans have a LOT of clan gear, but it occurred to me that a work around until such time as admin can give us a better solution, is this:

Move everything out of your clan safe and put what gear you can fit into your clan safe. The clan safe has its own permissions spot, it will make things a little harder, but that way new people can get geared without risking everything else clan owns.

WaterHawke,

But sydian is more valuable, and other rare items. Can't have that in chest
WaterHawke,
Have to agree with Mindless here. My Clan Safe is an exclusive area that only the most trusted have access to.
My work around for getting clan gear to people who are too new to trust, trade it to them, with "Clan Items" conditions. Yes, we have to pay taxes on that trade (ugh), but safe and easy.

There are many ways this could be fixed, and many recommendations have been made. Most recently, We requested that Resource Chest & Clan Chest have separate permissions. We can hope that the big update for wars will include major updates to clan permissions and book keeping.
I see your point, both of you, but as we have little "rare" things, this is an easy fix for us. What would be ideal would be an armory where all clan gear could be stored, which would have separate permissions from everything else.
WaterHawke,

I like it. Clan armory. Need more storing boxes I guess.
And unlock more space?
Not saying the amount in clan, even though that would be good, by how about 1g/spot, then clan can buy a lot more to store more things in?

I think that's ideal, but I wonder if they'd go with something like "X reals per X openings", seems more likely to happen to me.
WaterHawke,

X reals = 500
per X openings = 1

Well, clan gear isn't really possible to steal... if you kick the person who took it you get it right back and it can't be destroyed without special permission. My opinion is that if they take gear they aren't supposed to and refuse to return it they should be kicked because, heck, the resources are probably next. Of course, I don't lead a clan so I don't know much about running one.
I agree with mindless
WaterHawke,
Or, you could make an alt to hold the stuff from safe while trade is being done
Lux the Sarcastic,
The issue being that the resources (basic goods from gathering) aren't considered "clan gear" so have no protections. So, someone takes, they can do whatever they want. In order to give someone access to get clan gear from chest, it also automatically give access to the resources.

Kuniko,
Not a bad idea, but if you've ever looked at book keeping, it's a mess when you have to pull 25 items out and put them back. that's 50 transactions, Plus however many needed for the gear
Storm Kat,
If you wanted to, you could just pull stuff out of safe and leave on alt, make sure chest isn't used for rest of day so bookkeeping isn't screwed over too bad...
Storm Kat,
Ah, I understand now. My stupid brain thought that safe permissions were instantly higher than chest permissions...
Kuniko,
Not true, storing on an alt is against the rules. "It is forbidden to use a second Character (or several) to store items" .

So, risk a 50G fine if you have a storage alt. Trust me, I have looked at all options. The ONLY way to safely get gear to someone you don't trust is with trades and conditions "clan item" and pay the taxes, which are extreme when it comes to someone new that needs a full gear set.

Lux,
There are 3 chests in clan hall for a level 3 clan. Clan Chest, Resource Storage, and Clan Safe. Clan Safe is the only one with separate permissions, but per my notes above, that is not a good option at all.
