I am the GM of the IOS guild Blazing Katanas. We don't require gold or gem spending and count on the generosity of our members (works pretty well, max level guild with two maxed out bonuses). I keep a very tight ship on activity, and when new members join the guild they are told that if they become inactive for a period of time they will be booted.

I do this by keeping a spread sheet which lists every member, whether they contributed gold the last week (also list the last week they contributed), which was the last Epic Boss they faced, and whether they participated in the most recent war (including points amassed). It is a little tedious to set up at first, but very useful later on to gauge how long one has been inactive. I am now to the point where if a player hasn't fought an Epic Boss for 5 weeks or more I boot them. As it stands we have 37 members with ~30 who are current on the Epic Boss and we get about 27 to fight at some point in each war. However since we don't require gem spending we usually finish in the 200-400 range, which isn't bad for minimal gem spending
