I thoguht there were some restrictions for trial accounts. My sons
cousin got a trial account and I can swear he was very limited with
what he could do. I don't remember all the restrictions but I know
there were some.

No guilds deserve this as far as I am concerned.

Well okay maybe there are one or two that maybe do deserve it but I
have never met a guild that deserves it and even if there is a guild
that deserves it nobody deserves to be such a low life that they would
be someone that would waste their time doing things liek that to a
guild.

Too bad trade chat can't initiate a vote to kick someone from trade
chat like they can for a PuG.

I wish you luck in this and please keep us posted as to what develops.
