Hey, Fluffies, I was meandering around Gaia when I found this neat thread in the the Site Feedback about guild updates, basically compiling a list of what Gaians would like to see in a guild update. Specifically Leader and the mods, but also any of the Fluffies, should go check out the thread, and throw in some suggestions or support!

You can find it here.

I like the things they have up so far.
Especially allowing guild accounts to be used for guild activities & the activity feature.

'Cause I noticed Leader talking about how much money we have in the guild account that we can't really use.

Yah.

I mean, we can't keep making subforums because that gets boring. xD

And eventually the subforums will crowd out the main forum page. Like tribbles.

I'd like to see the admins actually act on some of the suggestions that have been floating around the official GGN Captain's Guild since guilds went live...

Quote:
Styles/Layouts and Visual MODs

* No underline
Basically remove the underline style for sub-forum names, but keep it so the colour still changes on mouse over.

* New memberlist
Make memberlist more like the main Gaia Memberlist
Basically give it more detailed member details, add sorting/ordering.

* Custom Themes
Provide your guild a custom theme and layout (to a certain extent)

* Pending Invites Notice
There used to be a little notice at the bottom of guilds' home pages where crew or higher could see a notice saying something like "You have invites pending", it got removed awhile back though.

* Allow BBCode in invites
Get invite PMs to process BBCode to make customizing the invite PMs a bit more.

* Sub-forum description
Be able to give sub-forums a sub-description that will show up underneath the main sub-forum title.

* Move Moderation buttons
Move them up from the bottom a bit, or copy the section and add it near the top too

* 'Invite user' in profiles
In profiles, add in a type of 'Invite this User' button for users that have crew+ in any guild, where then they get taken to a page where they can invite the user to their guild (or one of their guilds, was suggested if there is more than guild, have them selectable from a drop down box)

* Move 'Report this guild' and 'Quit Guild'
Was suggested to move these to the bottom perhaps

* Multiple 'Sections' on Guild homepage
Make it so there are separate editable sections on the guild homepage for different things (wiki style?)

* 'Important' Announcement Highlight
Ability to make an Announcement 'Important' tagged, where its name will be bold and coloured uniquely for a period of time.




Improvements and Add-ons

* Arrange/Delete Sub-forums
Title says it mostly, just the ability to manually arrange the position of the sub-forums and delete them (possibly get a refund?)

* Regional category
Basically just give new regional category options for different countries/states

* Select 2+ Categories
Topic basically describes this, just select a main category and sub-categories.

* Topic (Thread) Subscription
Subscription system for the GGN

* Find own posts
Search history for GGN similar to forums.

* Sub-forums within sub-forums
Basically as the title says, structure sub-forums within sub-forums.

* Hide 'Crew' sub-forums.
Hide the crew toggled sub-forums from non-staff members of a guild.

* Individual status of Subforums
Allow Hidden/Private/Public individual settings for sub-forums.

* Calender System
Basically have a guild calender system for guild events/birthdays/etc.

* GGN Tagging
Finish the 'Tags' system for the GGN >_>

* Guild Announcements
Display a guild icon beside users' avatars when a new announcement is posted in one of their guilds.




Miscellaneous Suggestions

* Accept Forum Rules
Basically allow guilds to have a page where they request to join, where they have to read guild rules and click a checkbox stating they read them.

* Inter-guild competitions and contests
I think the title sorta explains this one? o.O

* Art arena
In-Guild art arena type system

* Guild Crests
Guilds can have a Crest type icon that will users with that guild can use

* Cross-Linked Guilds
Basically set it so fully different guilds can share the same memberlist and such.

* Keywords for searching
Let users search for guild keywords rather than guild names.

* GGN Voting
Similar to the main forums topic thumbs up/down voting, except for guilds.
Sub Details Wrote:
a) You have to be a member of the guild to rate it,
b) The order is based on percentage of members who gave the guild a thumbs up. For example, Guild A has 100 members, and 25 gave it a thumbs up. That's 25%. Guild B has 1,000 members, and 200 gave it a thumbs up. That's 20%. Therefore, Guild A is ordered above Guild B


* "Who's viewing"
Basically show who's all in/viewing the guild currently

* Disable Donations
In short, disable the ability for anyone to 'Donate' to the Guild Donations Pool.




Crew/VC/Captain Related

* Guild Ranks
Display the rank (Captain, etc) of the member under their name in the guild in topics.

* More Detailed permissions system
Basically be able to more finely define permissions for crew members and what they can do.

* Change Captain/VC Name
Be able to change the default 'Captain'/'Vice Captain' rank names to something else.

* Homepage Preview
Ability to preview changes to homepage.

* Keywords Search
Captains/VC can search their guild via keywords of sorts (old style searching)

* Guilds Trading
Make it so guilds can be sold/transfered ownership via the bank.

* Mass Moderating
Bring back the old mass-moderation system

* Deleted Posts
Allow Captain/VC/Crew to see deleted posts

* Log join requests better
Show who accepted join requests.

* Rejection Logs
Log reasons for why someone was declined join request

* 'Rollback'
Completely reset a guild (Clear all posts, topics, memberlist [excluding captain], stats)

* Log quits
Activity log will log when a user quits

* PM Notification on joins
Can be toggled on/off, and can choose who all to send notifications to

* Log all topic/post edits
Activity log will log when edits are made to posts

* Temporary Bans
Allow temporary bans which will be removed after a certain period of time.

* Crew Mailing
Mass PM all Crew members only

* Crew self-demote
Allow crew members to self-demote themselves from crew

* Mass approval/denial
Make the join requests system more friendly for doing a mass deny/approval.

* Quick edit homepage
Add a button for captains/VC on homepage to take them directly to edit homepage page.

* Split Topics
Ability to 'Split' topics into seperate topics




Members Related

* Homepage skip
Members registered to the guild go straight the forum and skip the home page

* Different ranks
Ability to have different 'rank' like titles for members

* Membership statuses
Pending, Active, Passive, etc statuses.

* Report a post/Topic
GGN Reporting system for posts and topics (would go to guild staff)

* Ranks Point System
Basically allow a guild to have some sort of Ranking Point system

If only the Gaia Admin would listen... neutral
none of these are bad suggestions at all. I would actually go for almost all of these suggestions.
I've been saying Gaia Admin should be paying attention to what we have instead of making new stuff (Battle MMO)... -___-

You should head over to the thread and share these suggestions, Elendil. They're all really good.

I know that things like Custom Themes and Thread Subscriptions are already listed in the thread I mentioned, but there are a lot more subjects in that list that haven't been brought up yet.

I know that the devs are planning to do a guild update eventually, but right now they haven't really got anything done because they don't really know what to do yet, specifically. So the point of the thread in the SF is to combine all the users suggestions into one easy place, similar to the popular evolving items suggestion threads that have been cropping up.
