I do not want people to be inviting a person into the in-game "guilds" just because they had a decent couple of instance runs with that person. It would be far better to refer the person to the website first and let the person get indoctrinated to the Lurker Lounge ways before having a banner over their heads advertising the Lurker Lounge.

No. My intention is to allow others the freedom to invite friends and family into the guild. If they perennially group with certain folk and feel they would make good Lurkers than I have set up a means for them to do so without bringing about worries about what kind of Guild the Lurkers has turned into. I will be just as happy with the guild if it stays the same size it is now. But it is folly for me to not view the long range picture that eventually we are going to start getting people who join the site simply to get guilded. This is my intention with the rank system.
