Each rank in the guild has its own set of privileges assigned to it. Only the guildmaster
character can set those or even see what they are. To set a rank's privileges, the
guildmaster character loads the guild interface and presses the Guild Control button. A
window pops up. At the top of the window is a drop down list box with the Guildmaster
entry highlighted and a down arrow next to the list box (click there to expand it and select
any other rank in the list) and a plus sign (+) to the right of that which is used to add a new
rank. Just below this area of the window is listing of all 10 ranks with checkmarks in the
boxes next to the privilege that rank has granted to it.
The guildmaster rank always has every privilege but the other ranks could have as many
or they could have less. Select the down arrow and pick any other rank and you can
adjust its privileges. When you select a rank the area just below the list box changes to
show only checkmarks next to the privileges the newly selected rank has granted to it. No
checkmark means that the privilege isn't granted to that rank.
To grant a privilege to a rank, first select the rank. And then check the box next to the
privilege you wish the rank to have. Then click the red ACCEPT button just under the list
of privileges. You can also click CANCEL to undo the changes and not apply them.
Here is a definition of what each privilege means and what powers it gives a rank that has
been granted it:
Guildchat Listen: Anyone with this privilege can read what is said in guildsay. If you wish
to have a rank where they cannot read guildsay, remove this privilege.
Guildchat Speak: Anyone with this privilege can type text into guildsay using the /GU
command. If you do not wish a rank to be able to talk in guildsay, remove this privilege.
Officerchat Listen: Anyone with this privilege can read what is said in the officer (/O) chat.
Typically this is not granted to anyone but officers.

Officerchat Speak: Anyone with this privilege can speak into officer chat. Again this is
typically limited to only officers, hence the name, so they have a private channel to
discuss core guild issues. Note: By default the text for this channel is a slightly darker
shade of green than guildsay which can lead to confusion and misspeaking into the wrong
room. You may wish to have all of your officers change their default officer speak to a
different color like yellow.
Promote: When a rank has this privilege, if they highlight a member in the roster the red
promote button will be activated. Anyone with this privilege can promote another member
to the rank just below theirs.
Demote: When a rank has this privilege, if they highlight a member in the roster the red
demote button will be activated. Anyone with this privilege can demote another member
to the lowest rank defined to the guild.
Invite Member: When a rank has this privilege they can add new members. All new
members are added at the lowest rank so if your lowest rank is set so that it cannot read
or speak in guildsay then this privilege is not very dangerous if most members don’t also
have the ability to promote. However, a person that can both invite and promote has a lot
of power in the guild since they can grant anyone they wish access to your guildsay even
if you tried to limit that by having lower tier ranks that lacked guildsay permission. Grant
this privilege with care.
Remove Member: This privilege should also be granted with care. Ranks that have it can
remove any member from the guild that is of a lower rank than they are. So a lower
ranking person can’t kick the guildmaster out. Officers can't kick officers out. But a higher
ranking member could kick lower ranking members out, if you freely give this power out.
So grant it with caution.
Set MOTD: The MOTD (Message of the Day) at the time of the writing of this guild only
holds 60 characters. That is inadequate for most guilds. This rank, however, gives a
member the ability to edit the MOTD. There are no filters on what can be said and there
is no tracking of who edited it to put up nasty things or remove important things. So again,
grant this privilege with care.

Edit Public Note: In the roster listing, there is a column for public note. Any rank with this
privilege can edit or add a public note to a member. All guilded members can see all
public notes. Common uses for the public note include indicating whose alt a specific
character is and indicating who the guild’s craftsman are.
View Officer Note: In the roster listing, there is also a column for officer note. This is
meant to be a private note that only your officers can see however technically you can
grant this view to all members and use the public note to serve one function and the
officer note to serve another.
Edit Officer Note: Ranks with this privilege have the ability to edit the officer note for a
member. By keeping officer notes private, your officers can use them to record facts on
characters that only other officers can read.
