There's a constitution document which is visible to the entire guild at http://tiny.cc/swcg It details all rules that are currently in place (nearly all through votes!). This is mostly how voting takes place (at least 10 votes, 2/3rds in favour, 7 days to vote), what ranks there are (there are 7 right now) and how bank tabs work.
Apparently the voting is being discussed in the raiders' ventrilo channel. There are already plans to overthrow me (which would lead to a contradiction in the constitution as the guild leader is not elected, but has to follow the will of the voters.. constitutional crisis!) and people coming up with the strangest things to vote on. Only talk so far though.
My former 'Captains' (one of them now a bureaucrat - still pending a vote) are mostly worried about things going wrong, which is understandable, but nevertheless I'd like it if they didn't bolt everything down just yet. One glaring loophole in the current rules is that everyone can invite new characters and there's no restriction on alts (alternate characters owned by the same player). The effect is that two people, or one person on two accounts, can invite any amount of alts he likes and dominate any vote. I'd hoped this would be solved by someone else, but Talina has already created a vote to patch it up, essentially by making it necessary for people to have 'friendly' reputation and to forbid havings alts. Problem there is that there's no way to see what character belongs to what player. I'll attempt to fight that vote in guildchat.
There's also a vote from the raiders though! The raidleader they voted into that position two weeks ago has run off to play another game and is barely online anymore. A new vote has been created to remove him from the position and there's a request for new raidleaders to step forward. The system in action.
The big worry in the guild seems to be people getting very random votes through the system in some way. I'm interested to see if this will happen considering the voting rules that are in place.
I personally still have some doubts on how to implement vaguely worded votes and if I should do something to make sure they are better defined by the players.
