This will inevitably always go on.

Guilds need to remember that you need to respect each and everyone in the guild and treat everyone equally. I was kicked out of a very big guild for repeatedly shooting the cannon at forts during a boss battle when an officer said, "Stop, lets hold on a second" and failed to realize the forts were still firing at us.

Second, guild members need to be nice to EVERYONE they meet. Angering some random person can lead to big changes to the guild when said person manages to join the guild and become an officer.

Third, there are always people that want to bring the big guilds down. No matter how good a guild is at making sure all officers are good, that won't change the fact that there are people out there wasting their time acting good so they can become an officer in a big guild just so they can kick people out. It may seem unlikely, but there are people that bored out there.

Just understand that if you're going to give someone a spot as an officer, do they really seem like the type of person that can have all these members to just kick out? Not really, and picking officers should be an extremely hard thing to do. Even if it's someone on POF, you never know what they might be thinking about doing to your guild. Just be careful is all, and if you are worried a lot, just don't have there be officers.
