Terms
Terms of use.
Last updated October 20, 2026. These terms explain how Guild Finder operates its moderated GW2 guild directory, and community features.
Community posting board
Guild Finder is a community directory for public GW2 guild information. Verified recruitment listings are created by guild owners or representatives; clearly labeled unclaimed records may be created from attributed public sources.
An unclaimed or source-verified record is not an owner-authored listing. A source badge describes where public facts came from and does not mean Guild Finder verified ownership, recruitment status, links, or requirements.
We provide listing, discovery, search, and moderation tools. We are not a party to any guild, guild application, Discord server, event, trade, payment, rank decision, or player relationship that may result from a listing.
Source records and claims
Guild Finder may store factual public guild data, aggregate statistics, source identifiers, source links, and refresh timestamps for directory discovery. Source records are ranked below approved owner listings and may be withheld, corrected, merged, or removed.
Claim requests are manually reviewed. Approval only authorizes the claimant to submit a complete listing for normal moderation; it does not automatically transfer ownership, publish a recruitment listing, or grant a Guild Finder verification badge.
Claimants must provide accurate leadership information and must not submit credentials or impersonate guild staff. Guild Finder may request additional confirmation, reject conflicting evidence, expire approvals that are not used, revoke access, or restrict accounts that submit false ownership claims.
Guild representatives may request correction, removal, or review of an unclaimed record through its claim process or the public support channel.
Moderation is not endorsement
Listings may be reviewed, approved, rejected, edited, paused, suspended, or removed to support safety, accuracy, platform compliance, and directory quality.
Approval, moderation, visibility, search placement, or continued publication does not mean that Guild Finder verifies, affiliates with, sponsors, recommends, supports, guarantees, or endorses any guild or its members.
Guild responsibility
Guild owners and submitters are responsible for the accuracy, legality, safety, and permissions for the information, images, links, requirements, and claims they submit.
Listings must represent real GW2 guilds or communities and must not impersonate another guild, promote phishing, malware, account services, gold selling, gambling, luring, automation, rule-breaking services, or other unsafe activity.
Player responsibility
Players are responsible for deciding whether to join, contact, apply to, trade with, or interact with any listed guild or external community.
Do not share Guild Wars 2 credentials, recovery details, bank details, private account information, authentication codes, or sensitive personal information through Guild Finder, a listing, Discord, or any linked site.
Reports and review
Each approved listing may be reported through the site report function. Reports can be used for outdated information, broken or unsafe links, impersonation, rule-breaking promotion, or other concerns.
When a report is submitted, it is made available to moderators for review. Moderators may review the report details, the listing content, linked destinations, account trust signals, prior reports, and any relevant site records before deciding what action to take.
After review, Guild Finder may leave the listing unchanged, ask the guild owner to revise the listing, edit or disable unsafe content, suspend the listing while concerns are investigated, or remove the listing from public view. Serious safety issues such as phishing, malware, impersonation, account-service promotion, or other high-risk abuse may result in immediate takedown without prior notice.
Reports are reviewed for moderation purposes, but submitting a report does not guarantee removal, a particular outcome, or a direct response. Urgent safety concerns, illegal activity, Discord abuse, or in-game rule violations should also be reported to the appropriate platform, authority, or ArenaNet reporting channel.
Third-party links and communities
Guild listings may include Discord invites, websites, application forms, social pages, or other third-party links controlled by the guild or another third party.
Guild Finder does not control those external services and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, moderation decisions, payments, promises, or conduct. Users should review external pages before joining or applying.
Community comments and feedback
Signed-in users may post public comments and feedback on community discussion pages. Users must not post harassment, spam, scams, personal information, unsafe links, fabricated claims, or content that violates ArenaNet or applicable platform rules.
Guild Finder may rate-limit, hide, retain, review, or remove comments and restrict accounts where needed for moderation, safety, community integrity, or abuse prevention. Use the private report action for sensitive safety concerns instead of publishing unverified allegations in the discussion.
Accounts and ownership signals
Account users are responsible for keeping account credentials secure, maintaining accurate listing information, and removing listings they no longer control.
Email verification and connected Discord accounts may support moderation review and account trust, but they do not guarantee guild ownership by themselves. Moderators may request more context before approving, restoring, or changing sensitive listings.
Platform independence
Guild Finder is an independent community directory. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with, sponsored by, operated by, or officially supported by ArenaNet or Discord unless that party explicitly states otherwise.
Guild Wars 2 and related names and marks belong to their respective owners. Users must follow applicable ArenaNet rules and third-party platform rules when using Guild Finder, submitting listings, or interacting with listed communities.
Changes and availability
We may update these terms, listing rules, moderation practices, or site features as the service changes.
We may limit, suspend, remove, or discontinue any listing, feature, or account access where needed for security, compliance, abuse prevention, operational reliability, or directory quality.
