You want to start a guild, but you're complaining about controlling organic energy? I would say voting power is distributed presently in a rather inorganic way, which is why large accounts need a bit of help finding the best stuff. And I am agreeing with you that engagement is an important measure of quality. Is it the only measure?
If someone writes a great fiction story on here, it may get a few comments and votes. Is diversity important enough that we should have a place for fiction? Sports, gaming, and news are big on some other sites like Reddit, but most of those posts don't get much traction here unless it involves betting. If people begin to post good pieces on here, should they be rewarded for working to create something that could be important and help build for the future? Engagement is important. So is diversity. So are certain fields that help bring us users.
These value choices are not as easy as you make them out to be.
I provided a viable solution which is not covered in the definition of "complaining". There is a difference. If I had just pointed out the flaws of the current system and not provided a complete roadmap and solution, then I would be "complaining". This was not created as a replacement for existing guilds, but as a complimentary project to promote organic growth and also to catch authors who generate large amounts of social energy, which is the real driver of growth and expansion.
