The officers and I finally implemented the asking for permission to teleport rule. Some of the younger players tell us we are being mean.
We are finding we are spending all our time reviving people because they have teleported to us and are much lower level.
I would love to hear what other guild masters have in place and how they deal with this.

This happens to East India Republic all the time, although we also have an ask before you teleport rule. Whenever someone does not ask and they have been told before, what I do is in guild chat, say "BOB PLEASE ASKBEFORE TELEPORTING" this will usually stop them from doing it. And if you have a bunch of people teleporting, but only one person asks, I usually say in guild chat "why yes, Joe, you may tp, thank you for asking!" That will usually make them listen.
Next is, if they do tp, I usually just ask them nicely to leave. That usually works and if not, I usually let them stay. If we are fighting enemies too high for them, most likely we have a bunch of lower levels with us too, so with teamwork, they don't get knocked out too often. When they do get knocked out, I revive them, and hint that they shouldn't be there. The next time they KO, i do the same, but the third time I will just tell them that this place may be too high level for them, and I can't revive them anymore. It usually doesn't resort to that in my guild, because when one lower level is fighting with us, usually we have quite a few, so they revive eqchother before I get a chance.
Now about problem teleporters. I have two people in the guild that have some sort of problem with the teleport rule. The first one is obvious, a person who just won't ask before he teleports. I ask him time and time again using the methods I listed in the first paragraph, but he never ever stops not asking before he teleports. I have considered kicking him from the guild, but i don't want to have to do that for such a wee little crime. Whic brings me to my next problem teleporter. This one, just questions the ask before you teleport rule in general. He thinks it is stupid, why would you have to ask before you teleport? He has obviously never been a guildmaster of a larger guild before. Anybody ha e suggestions as o what to tel him, why it is important to ask before you teleport?
Those there are my experiences and suggestions for the ask before you teleport rule. I can wait to hear from other guildmasters about this.
