Firstly, having a board for guilds will already jeopardize the rule about posting "Friend Codes in other areas than the Share Pages is not acceptable." I don't see this becoming a way to clean the spam away.

Secondly, A guild can have 20+ Members in it, and trust me, They will never stick to creating only 1 Guild Thread because sooner or later their guild thread will be piled up by newer advertisements, so they will create another thread to suffice this. This will require more monitoring for the site, and I am already aware that we are lacking on this matter.

I don't see the idea of creating a Guild Advertisement Board as "putting effort in advertising their guild." Therefore in my opinion I dont think it is necessary to have it.

For suggestions, A Guild Ad Template might help. More and more players are already asking for one as they see it's benefits; I unfortunately don't have the time to create one but maybe we can build one as this discussion goes. ~ "having a board for guilds will already jeopardize the rule about posting "Friend Codes in other areas than the Share Pages is not acceptable." Can be simply changed to "Friend Codes in other areas than the Share Pages or Guild Advertisement Board are not acceptable". The rule mentioned in the first post (1 thread per guild) will be enforced fairly strongly, and multiple threads on the same guild will be removed and the user warned/blocked.

"I don't see this becoming a way to clean the spam away". Creation of a guild advertisement board will deter people from creating pages such as this, as it would be easier to have a thread about your guild as it will be within the rules of the wiki and can be bumped to have it viewed and not buried.

"sooner or later their guild thread will be piled up by newer advertisements, so they will create another thread to suffice this". A simple bump will put their guild to the top of the board, works the same as the other boards and threads on the wiki.

"I don't see the idea of creating a Guild Advertisement Board as "putting effort in advertising their guild."". Take a look at the GREE forum, look at the effort people put into their threads.

 "For suggestions, A  Guild Ad Template  might help" . Do you mean for the Share:Guild page? If so I really can't see it being used at all, but if this does not work out I suppose we could look into it a bit. =]

Another really big reason for having this board is so that it makes a cleaner system for people searching for guilds, as the guilds (if they are smart) will mention e.g. "Guild of Derp [Level 50+, Gemming Required]" to attract the kind of people that they want. Again a look at the GREE forum shows how guilds have done their thread title there.
