Another option would be to make it NECESSARY to mark at least one preference.
Right now, when we see a blank request, we don't know whether there really is no preference or whether the preferred troop is simply absent from our army post. Many players are assuming that there is no preference and are encouraging others to do likewise.
I am constantly urging people to mark their preference and almost always get a response like "Just send archers if it's not marked." Problem is -- there's no way to tell that it's truly not marked unless you have every single troop type in your army post (a terribly low probability).
Please just make the preferences visible, regardless of whether we have the troop. And while you're at it, give us the option to refuse a donation or to selectively discard individual troops from the portal.
