Better guild support

Eh here's a few, they're not specifically for the in-game Guild CP though..

Changes

• In the Guild CP, the icons should flash on new event. For example, the Membership Applications and Discussion Board icons indicating that there are new applications/thread replies. When you've checked them, the indicator stops until a new application/post is made. The indicator would be for those who have the rights to access such things.
• On the main page of the Guild CP there should be a direct link to your application that you can send to players when recruiting.
• You should need to specify why you're removing a player when you do.

• Better formatting on the Discussion Board options such as smiley's and the ability to sticky important threads.
• Ranks on the discussion board reflecting the actual player ranks. Currently the ranks are displaying old ranks from when the guild system was restored.

• In your Public Information you should be able to specify what type of guild you are from a predefined list, which would split the guilds up into definitive areas. For example -- Beginner-Friendly, Casual, Community, Competitive, PKing-Focused, Sparring-Focused, Social, Roleplaying, Fun, Development, etc.
• In your Public Information you should be allowed to upload 3 screen shots to appear on your guild listing page (thumbnail hyper links, of course). It would make the pages a lot more attractive and specific guild based. Along with that, the fields that haven't got any input shouldn't be displayed.
• In your Public Information you should be able to enter allies, then make a check to match it up with the other guild's ID. Once they're matched up, if both guilds are listing the other, the guilds shouldn't be able to hit each other on servers, and should act as one guild in terms of fighting. This has been suggested many times before and it's on Classic, I'd love to see this officially and easier to do.

New Ideas

• Each guild makes their own icon, maybe? I don't know.
• We used to have the "Event Informations / Subscribe to Event" but it was never really finished. It would be nice if each guild had their own calendar to input events, and for users to be able to subscribe to that event. Perhaps if a calendar is too hard to do, just a basic list of events with information fields. It would really help when organizing events such as spar tournaments, developer discussions, fun..
• GUILD OBJECT FOR SCRIPTING!! ..just thought I'd slip that in
