I like all of these suggestions about ranks, but I don't think that is the way to go in order to help stop guild crashing. I would like them to add ranks, but they need something more to solve this issue.

Just an idea I thought of.. it is similar to some already suggested. When pressing the F key, it brings up friends, player friends, and guild. Maybe they could add a fourth option, which you only get if you are the GM of the guild. This option would list the names of members that have been "ejected" by an officer, and the GM of the guild can either deny, or approve the request.

I doubt that would ever happen.. but it is just an idea. And since i'm not sure I said that clearly.. i'll give an example. An officer logs on, and ejects every member. All of those members are removed from the guild list, and are instead placed in the GMs fourth tab. When the GM logs on, he/she has to approve the ejection for it to be accepted, if the ejection is denied the member is returned to the guild. And if a member happens to log on prior to approval, or denial, the member receives a notification, allowing them to know their "status".

There are numerous other solutions out there. The only problem I have with guild ranks, that won't stop ejecting. If an account is hacked, someone just decides they wanna boot people, it won't matter. If someone has the power to eject a member without the consent of the GM, then that isn't safe in this matter.
