GUILD REVIEW


Member at Guild
Date / Browser / Guild

_____This is an experimental review that will attempt to critique almost every aspect of your guild. I request that only guild council members apply to have their guild reviewed. Realize that by requesting a guild review, I will have to join your guild temporarily. If it is public, great! However, if you want a private guild reviewed, let me know in the optional part of the form. You will need to send an invitation to an unnamed side account. This review will be scored out of a possible 100 points. If the guild does not have a webpage, it will be scored out of 60.

first impression - #/10;

_____How much did you impress me when I first opened your guild page? Is your introduction intriguing or just 'fluff'? Do you even have an introduction? Does your layout look professional or poorly thought-out?

layout and introduction - #/15;

_____Is your guild layout interesting? Do the colors work well together? Did you use a premade or a default template? Is the layout easy to navigate? When reading your introduction/blurb, can I see what the guild is all about? What makes me want to join?

atmosphere and activeness - #/25;

_____I'm not going to judge each member of your guild, I'm just looking for an overall friendly and helpful atmosphere. Does it seem like there is excessive drama? If I ask a question, is it answered politely? Do members chat on the guild board often? Many guilds (such as mine) don't run monthly activities. Does yours? If so, are there a decent, steady number of participants?

organization and grammar/spelling - #/10;

_____The grammar and spelling section will be in regard to the guild layout and homepage, not the actual messages. Can I easily find whatever page I'm looking for? Do you use correct grammar throughout the page? Are there frequent spelling mistakes?

the following areas of criteria only apply if your guild has an additional petpage, or "webbie.

petpage - first impression / layout - #/10;

_____How much did you impress me when I first opened your site? Do you have an introduction? Does your layout look professional or poorly thought-out? Does your CSS work well together? Is there a definite theme or color scheme? Did you use a premade? Is your layout easy to read and navigate? Are images high-quality?

petpage - content - #/20;

_____What is on your petpage? Is there enough information about the guild? Does it answer any additional questions I have?

petpage - organization and grammar/spelling - #/10;

_____Can I easily find whatever area I'm looking for? Do you use correct grammar throughout the page? Are there frequent spelling mistakes?

_____Overall, is your guild active and friendly? Would I stay in it? What are your biggest flaws? What's the best part of your guild?
