@Mezri:
Pretty much this. I just didn't have the time to put it all in before going to work. sweatdrop
Except the subforum layout. I can see that being too complicated. And, if we can rearrange subforums, then it should be able to act as a sort of organizational system in and of itself. Then again, I suppose that depends on what kind of guild it is.
@Sky: I haven't had any problems editting my own posts in guilds. Ever. Also, I totally agree with you about having the subforums at the top of all of the forums, not just the main forum. Or, perhaps, have the subs moved to the bottom of the page in each forum, that way you don't have to scroll down to check out what's in each forum every time.
@Cheeva and pretty much anyone else:
Guild Account: Pretty much the same stuff people have been complaining about for...ever since the beginning of time. -.- Sad, but true, hopefully more gets done on that.
Subforum Stuffs: I think it was mentioned in the other thread, what are your guys' thoughts on selling back subforums you want to get rid of? Deleting them would be cool, I guess, but I would rather keep the empty space just in case instead of toss it away. If, maybe, they gave you like 1250g back, just like with the half-price sell-back of items, it would have more of a purpose for people as well?
Member List/Banning: I was thinking maybe having a ban button and a delete button. Delete would obviously just delete the person from the guild, and they would be sent a notification like, "Sorry, but BLAHBLAHBLAH Guilds has deleted you from their memberlist for the following reason [insert text here]". The ban button would keep that member in a seperate portion of the member list, with the red letters or something of that nature across the information next to their name. Sort of like a built-in blacklist. If banned, a member would be unable to post in the guild at all, and the ban could be lifted anytime. This would solve a couple of problems I've noticed. ONE: If someone gets perma-banned from a guild, and then that guild gets sold, the new owner is going to want a way to lift the ban from all of the people the previous owner banned most likely. TWO: It would make it so you only have to have one button for the temp/perm banning, and it can be a customized amount of time. This will save a lot of time for the dev's in coding and what not, and also be a lot easier for members to use, as well as making it easier for people to see who is blacklisted (and possibly why?)
Announcements: I don't think one announcement per week would be a good idea. I definitely understand what it's like having a million stupid announcements to weed through from a bunch of guilds every day, but... While, for some guilds, it is rather irritating that they have announcements every day, sometimes it is necessary. As a guild captain (on a different account), during events or important changes to the guild, I sometimes find it necessary to send an announcement three times a week maximum. So, I believe that the daily limit is good. I also kind of like your idea of paying a little extra to send so many of them, because people shouldn't have to do that every day in most cases, and it would probably deter people from sending announcements every day like "HI GAIZ COME POST MOAR I MISS YOOO" I kinda dig the idea of having a priority ranking on them too. Something like Low/Med/High. Low priority ones could stay in notices, Medium and High could have their own little announcement red flag thingy back. smile However, the character limit is a little strict. Being able to put links in the announcements would make things MUCH easier as well.
Notices/Subs: Yes, I think that one of the most important changes they could make for guilds right now would be the Thread Subscription Feature. I think that the fact that it's absent in guilds is one of the main reasons why many people won't use them. I know that I stopped RPing in a lot of the guilds I was in before that were super active because it was impossible to find what I was looking for, or I would forget which threads I had been posting in in the OOC forums. Subscriptions would be Great. Adding this to the regular notification system would be an obvious thing, of course.
Crew: Yeah, I agree. Though, tbh, I don't think it's nearly as important a fix as the others.
Editing: Wait, you guys can't edit your own posts in guilds? 0.0 I can, however, understand not wanting someone to be able to delete/edit their posts if they are causing trouble. However, in RP's, it could get annoying not being able to adit your posts, if you make a mistake and someone points it out to you after the post. Hm, I suppose I would then agree with the crew making the decision whether or not they'd want their members to edit.
Co-Captain: I think it's a really good idea, especially since in a lot of the guilds I have been in a Captain goes AWOL very easily. Even if the VC is around, there are some decisions that can really only be made by a Captain. Have a CC and that would pretty much fix it while the other is on leave.
Warning System: Hm, I hadn't thought of the idea that it would be necessary for that. I like this too. It would show up in the crew log and everything, so that would actually make things much more simple than the PM-based thing. I also like the idea of the "standardized" warning thing, but I don't think it would be necessary. It's pretty easy to type out a reason most of the time. I think, though, that warnings should be given by higher ranking members only. Not just crew, but possibly VC's and up only. So, since this is bound to vary in different guilds, there would probably have to be a way to incorporate this into the editing of what certain crew members can and can't do.
Crew Forums: OMG I didn't even think of that. I totally agree with having them hidden to everyone but crew.
