/guild browse - Make it easier to find active guilds
Submitted by redstoneisgreat
Suggestion
I have a lot to say about the guild browser, so much I am making multiple suggestions rather than one super long one. (I see 3 major issues holding it back from being useful, this is 2/3). These could potentially be guild suggestions in general, but mainly thinking in terms of the guild browser.
Inactive guilds. Many, if not most guilds on the server are inactive. Guilds go back to 2021. Players naturally leave a server over time. In addition, SMP has undergone a major decline in popularity, so the number of active SMP guilds is currently very small, and this might remain the case given that SMP is no longer the main gamemode. I do think a "historical" guild browser is nice to have and should remain an option for those interested in the server's history, but from the perspective of trying to find a guild to join, this does not work well.
I think that there should be a way to filter in the guild browser to hide "inactive" guilds. How a guild is declared as active/inactive would have to be given some thought. It could be automatic (i.e. by guild/player activity), or manual (i.e. by a guild/player periodically "declaring" themselves active), and this criteria could apply to all guild members, or only those above a certain rank. (i.e. at least 1 player that meets the criteria must have player activity, or must "declare" as active). Regardless, guilds would be "inactive" by default unless the activity criteria is met.
