That sounds like a very interesting idea. It would definitely make the Guild stand out. I would support such a feature. Of course, I can't imagine that the implementation would be simple, especially since balancing it properly would be important, but that doesn't stop it from being a good idea.

I'd keep it simple by just targeting a few obvious improvements over what existing forum platforms provide.

Forum systems (vBulletin, Xenforo, phpBB, etc) generally implement this sort of thing with "usergroup escalation":

- New users are placed in a "New Member" usergroup that has limited privileges. 
- After (50 posts OR 5 days) they get auto-moved into the "Regular Member" usergroup that has some more privileges. 
- After (1000 posts OR 100 days) they get auto-moved into the "Senior Member" usergroup that has full privileges. 

It's pretty limited, but it gets the job done.

My proposal is similar except that I have more granular control over how users gain trust and that trusted members can expedite the process (vouching).
