Yeah you're right. There will be very clear indicators of what we will be looking to support, and what we will not. Whilst we have an idea at the moment of what these things will be, until we have the discussion tonight, we won't know all of them.
In regards to ignoring complaints; The goal is to create a guild that is so transparent that there will be no justification for complaints. Though, I have been thinking today, and in spite of the guild being composed of strictly volunteers that receive no monetary rewards for their efforts, there is still at least one susceptibility to abuse that I have considered.
Members of the guild could collude with potential rewardees(I know that's not a word lol). That is to say that a guild member could conspire with a Steemit user and say something like;
"I will suggest your posts if you do this in return for me."
I plan to address this vulnerability by removing outright autonomy from all members, and having any suggestions further vetted by the rest of the members to ensure it is of the best quality.
In addition, we want the community to serve as oversight and point out any abuses that they might bear witness to, and if those allegations prove true, the guilty member would be excommunicated from the guild with no opportunity to redeem themself. In my experience, second chances only invite further corruption, because they feel they have gotten away with it. I don't really adhere to the justification of morally grey areas. You have integrity-- or you do not. That's my opinion at least. We will talk more on this tonight too.
Ones who are complaining about us not upvoting their posts, however, will simply be ignored. We won't throw fuel on the fire. Though, if after a look at their blog after complaining, we find that their content truly is of the best quality, we will keep a close eye on them in future. We will just not inform them of it.
