The Octarch thing is in the past, it was an attempt to add depth to the world. It was quite a bit of godrp and very much forcing others to follow her wishes and so was denounced. I doubt she had anything bad on her mind when she did it, the role was just a little bigger than she had expected but, she has learned from it.
If somebody doesn't like OOC near the temple (And many don't) then there should not be OOC near the temple...simple as that.
I don't really mind the guild, the shouting is bad, the public OOC is terrible, but they have okay goals. I don't see why you need the money though...the new players should earn that by themselves.
