Not necessarily. The incidents I have been contacted over did not break Blizzard's Terms of Service but would still have an adverse effect upon the reputation of the Guild. At any rate what you propose actually in my view moves us closer to Lurker Lounge being a guild site rather than away from Site first, guild second as Mongo desires. Guild business conducted on the forums? The site's policies taking precedence over guild? Does this mean I need to point someone to the ettiquette if they type "R u rdy to attack now?" in guild chat? Do the site's rules have any meaning in the context of a game like World Of Warcraft?
You seem to be operating under the assumption that we're inviting anyone and everyone to join the guild. Let me set your mind at ease on that score. We're not. The door is still open for Guildies to invite friends and family into the guild. I'm not looking to add more members to the guild but I also do not wish to shut the door on opportunities to bring good members into the fold.
Registering for an account on the forum is still a requirement of the Stormrage Lurker's Guild. This has not changed. This requirement is in place so that guild members understand that there is a central location for World Of Warcraft information. They are encouraged to participate in discussion. They are not, however, required to participate.

Instead you would wish to push all of the responsibility for Guild member's behavior onto my shoulders and give me none of the tools to minimalize our possible exposure. In the eyes of other guilds in World of Warcraft I am the leader. If someone from another guild has an issue with the behavior of a Lurker it is I who get contacted. If someone who has posted on the lounge, gets invited into the guild and proceeds to act as a wanker it is our reputation as a guild that takes a hit and indirectly upon the Lurker Lounge. I am trying to minimalize this with the introduction of ranks while still trying to keep the guild as structure-less as possible.
