Really amazed by this guild, and not in a good way. Joined after my husband joined. Made friends with guild mates, grouped with people, talked with people. Never a problem until one person logged on tonight who really has not been on and then started just being ... an ass. And when I didn't go groveling away and/or accept that and told him he was wrong about what he was complaining about .... nothing. I was on for another hour, then after I logged off, that officer went to their forums and banned me.
While they do have members I really liked, I wasn't at all impressed with the lack of guild leader (he's never on) or much with the officers. And when you're in an environment where officers feel like they can randomly be asses to their members and the members are apparently supposed to take it? And then instead of talking to the person but instead waiting until they log to take action in some passive-aggressive fit? Yeah, not a good place to be.
ETA: One more thing. As a new (and not full) member of this guild it was certainly within the guild leadership's purview to decide that I wasn't a "good fit", which is what an officer told me when I asked. And it was certainly within their domain to decide to do so without speaking to me once. Like I said, I was a new and not full member. My husband, however, was a full member. And guess what? He got the same treatment. And obviously it's done with grudge when the way it IS communicated is not by speaking to the person and saying "hey, this is what we've decided" but by banning that person from their forum - not the member portion but the entire thing.
