Very good read @krnel!
"Guilds are good overall, but there are also problems that can occur in long-term unfair ratings which can breed distrust in the community. This can lead to an oligarchical guild which creates further resentment and distrust internally."
This is an issue I identified early as a possibility with SteemTrail as the project progresses to community run websites. As the keys are turned over to the community, there will need to be some experimenting with self governance.
Definitely some fun times ahead.
Hehe yup ;) thanks for the feedback.
