Second question
Who in the guild has the ability to remove a member from threads like the 50fp swap? This ended up a problem in my guild as the leaders couldn't remove the member form the swaps.
If the thread is created in "Guild" Tab/Section then you cannot add/remove members, all guild members have access to all "non Admin" threads in Guild Tab.
However you create the thread in Social Tab, then the thread creator or any thread admin can add/remove any player.
Good/Bad thing about threads in Guild tab is anyone who joins the guild has auto access to all non admin threads.
Good/Bad thing about threads in social tab is the thread admins have full control of who can be part of the thread. They can even add non guild members to social threads. However when new member joins the guild the thread admin has to add them and when a member leaves the guild they need to be manually removed.
