Everyone deserves a second chance.
Not posting to say anything against anyone in particular or against any guild.
I just had to comment on part of Henna's post:
No, sorry. Not everyone deserves a second chance. They are reserved for special circumstances when someone deserving basically has a brain fart and acts out of character. Or when based on a reccomendation from a trusted individual.
To hand out second chances to every Tom, Dick, or Asshat.....is just a recipe for disappointment/disaster. Especially in online games where you are trusting someone to wear your guild tag and act in a manner that represents the guild in a positive manner. If reputation doesn't mean anything, then no big deal. But when it counts, idiots, asshats, rule breakers, selfish sods, and general malcontents can expect to have the door hit them on the ass on the way out on their first offence. They can always re-apply later on down the road if and when they finally have a firm grasp on what the guild's expected gamplay/attitude is and aren't just quoting what you want to hear but abide by it as well.
My 2 cents on the subject
