An interesting (and certainly bluntly honest) approach. Have you considered using ranks to graduate your system? So you might have:
Rank 1: People in Charge
Rank 2: Guaranteed Raiders (The "Starters")
Rank 3: Raid-qualified (The "Bench")
Rank 4: Probation (The "Rookies")
New applicants go into Rank 4 and can earn their way up, if they stay in rank 4 too long, they're removed from the guild. Likewise, if someone in rank 2 gets lazy, they get moved to the bench. Lazy on the bench, moved to rank 4. Too long in rank 4, buh-bye. It's not very community oriented, but I think you could build a successful guild with it.
