I don't agree with all of the options on page one, but these really would be great:
#1. Give us the ability to give tips to other members in guilds.
We give tips in forums, it doesn't make sense that we aren't able to do this in our guilds. Due to the current state of the economy it would be nice if we could increase the tipping amount.
YES!
#2. Give us the option to delete/move multiple threads at a time in guilds.
This would make it a whole lot easier and less time consuming to maintain our guilds.
#3. Give us the option to delete unwanted sub-forums in guilds.
Again, this would be so convenient. Sometimes sub-forums don't go as planned then they are there forever, it becomes a hassle and eyesore. Let us get rid of useless sub-forums!
#6. Create a join request history.
- This is why I charge 1g to join, so I have a record of who joined when. As for bans, that isn't really a concern of mine, but a thread in the Crew forum would fix that, as well as the keeping track of warnings in number 15.
#7. Alert guild members when a sub-forum gets a new reply, sometimes sub-forums do not get a lot of attention, alerting members when a sub-forums gets a new post could help fix this problem. Maybe you could put a different color note next to the sub-forums name instead of a white note whenever someone posts in it.
YES!
#8. Provide a way to ban multiple people at once in the guilds. This will make it easier to get rid of inactive people.
#11. Give us the option to view our post history in guilds. We have the ability to view what we post in forums, we should have the option to see what we have posted in guilds as well.
YES!
#12. Allow us to subscribe to guild threads. We can do it in forums, but we cant do it in guilds and that doesn't make any sense. It would make things so much more convenient, I know that the role playing guilds would love it.
YES!
#14. Allow us to customize the forum backgrounds in our guilds.
Great gold sink idea!
#17. Update Guild Search, a lot of times when i put key words into the guild search I end up with a bunch of guilds that aren't even related to the key words that I put in. Gaia please fix this, it's annoying.
#20. We all have houses in towns, give us an option to spend gold on buying a huge building in towns for our guilds. This way guild members can meet up and hang out in designated guild buildings. It could probably become a good gold sink too.
#22. Allow us to send out multiple guild announcements in a day. Things can change with contests and such during the day and the crew and vice captains could add on to things or whatever. Allowing this would be more convenient.
NO! Keeping the number of announcements down is good. Plan carefully, and make use of images to cover more information than will fit in the text limit instead.
#23. Allow full access to guilds on the mobile platform. Instead of just seeing updates and notices for threads in the app and just moving over to the phone browsers.
#26. Give us a button for the use of spoiler codes. It's hard for a lot of people to remember the exact code for it. Having a button for it would make things a whole lot easier.
#27. Fix the polls to work in guilds like they do in forums. Reloading the page to add options is annoying.
#28. Let us give customizable titles to crew members so that it is easier to assign jobs.
YES!
#29. I noticed in my searching through the guilds that there are many that have gone extinct. However, there is no way of telling this from the info displayed in the guild search. I propose that, after receiving no new posts for a period of time (6 months?), a guild should be automatically hidden from the registry, and the Captain and crew of said guild should be auto-PMed with a message stating as such. This way, members searching through prospective guilds will not waste their time on dead ends, and the captain and crew will know that their guild is currently hidden, just in case they want to change it back.
No, just identify the last post date instead.
#30. Also, it would be useful if one could click the headings in the guild search to narrow it on that particular category. For example, if I could click Members, and the guilds with the highest amount of members would be displayed first on the list. I think it would be nice to be able to sort guilds by most recent post, member size, and post amount.
#31. Please update the BBCode parser so that the guilds will read BBCode tags in the same manner as the forums. That will make formatting and layouts so much easier.
YES!
#32. Give us achievements to earn by doing things in guilds. Giving us achievements to earn by doing things in guild will draw a lot more attention to guilds plus it will give achievement hunters more things to do in between site events.
