How to build a good FC (looking for tips)

[KingMeteo]

If someone is causing problems for you kick them ASAP. Do not wait and hope it gets better. It won't.
Eliminate the issue, before it becomes a major issue.
This is the best advice I can give.
you want to seem fair, so you don't kick, but that is a major error in judgement.
Save yourself a lot of pain and kick people who are problems as soon as you can.

Okay…thank you for this advice thus far. I’m new to management situations in general outside of real life, so I just want to make sure I’m doing something right here. I’ve seen good examples and bad examples of FCs. But seeing them and actually creating one are two completely different things.

I don’t want to go into this with a naïve mindset. This is still the Internet, so I’m aware that some people will just do things just for the sake of doing them. So with that being said, as I’m still planning all this in my head, how about actual FC functions? Like meetings, events, etc.

What are you experiences with this? I’m eager to have something for everybody, from sprouts to vets.

Can't like this post enough, this is true, having been a guild leader myself and an officer in other games (not this one). If you don't nip it in the bud, it can get out of hand (I had someone whispering/sending tells someone else verbally bullying them on a constant basis, tried to resolve it and they openly admitted it, in rather colourful language... not tolerated, out you go). That being said, it depends on the situation, having good officers supporting you (and these should be fair-minded, mature individuals who you trust with that rank), can help you mediate in difficulties with members.

Decide what goals you have in mind, and the type of people you want to attract (if a person only wants to be in your Fc for the house... ask yourself, do you really want that kind of person in your FC? That's what I'd be asking myself )
I would go so far as to say, don't give access to guild bank or gil to anyone else, ever.
