First, I just want to say that I was a guild leader for 2 years. I had a lot of fun doing it, but one thing that really helped was the efficient use of addons. There is a lot in the guild going on that a Guild Leader needs to know about. You may trust your officers in who they invite, you may be very good at delegating responsibility, but small bits of knowledge are still VERY helpful
Basically, to this day, my favorite addon that I have ever used as a guild leader was known as "Guild Log." Some of you may have heard of it but it was discontinued by the original author. You can't find it anywhere. Believe me, I have tried. So, about a year ago I had a friend of mine update it himself.
For some reason, there is NO better addon out there that does this. There are similiar ones, but this one really is the best and most simple to use, and most easy to read.
HERE IS LINK I UPLOADED -- Yes Virus free, but feel free to scan it yourself to relieve your worries lol.
Guild_Log.zip
What it does is tell you :
1)Who got invited to guild since you last logged
2)Who leveled and to what level.
3) Who quit the guild
4) Who changed their note, from what to what
5) Any rank changes that happen in the guild
There is an option so you can have the window pop up as soon as you log in with the info. Note, you will NOT have any info the first time you log in -- it will only be subsequent logins as things happen.
This is where the link is to open the data.
YOU WILL NEED TO ENABLE OUT OF DATE ADDONS FOR THIS, BUT IT STILL WORKS FINE, NO ERRORS. I am not a programmer so I wouldn't know where to start in updating so you wouldn't have to.
You do have an option to check the box so it pops up as soon as you log in. I have it checked myself as I like to see what has changed. But, here is an example of what you see. I have data that is saved that is over a year old. have a full record in the guild of all of that.
One last thing. I know the addon is not perfect and there are still a couple of things I would love to add to it myself if I could. BUT, again, this is just a helpful useful addon that is impossible to get on any addon webpage anymore because no one has touched it in years. ENJOY!
PS, sry for such large photos -- I am a techie noob and can't figure how to resize.
