Would it result in too much spam if once you've been a member of a guild, you
always can submit articles to its group?

The problem is, at this time, your character file does not contain a list of
all the guilds you've ever joined. There is no realistic way for the news
server to know which guilds you've joined. Even if that information was added
now, it would not count the first 21 years of BatMUD's life.

There is some information available through "show reincs" command. It doesn't
go back 21 years, but it does go back to at least June 2008. Would it be
possible to match the information available in this command to the news group
permissions?

Hmm, it might be. Try after reboot.

Hello,

Why not just allow anyone to post within any guild group? If we are willing
to consider opening up guilds we've ever been members in, for many players,
that may be most of them anyways.

More importantly, from a Game-Development standpoint, it might be helpful to
draw upon the collective creativity of our player base in providing
suggestions/content ideas for guilds they aren't in, but might like to try in
the future. (Creative design doesn't necessarily require play experience!)

Practically, I wouldn't guess removing the post-restriction will cause tons of
spam by players who don't care about X or Y guild who will suddenly start
flooding those groups, in any case.
