Would you allow the serpentlords to define a ban to reinforce the
political might of the guild?  I can empathize with players not
appreciating controls on their characters at time, and the related
social costs of customer support. It would seem to me that allowing
guild leaders to make and enforce political decisions could do
nothing but make for a richer, more detailed game for all four
bartle suits.

Might I ask why you would not allow some bans to be approved?
