This is the original post that explained the problems that were being solved regarding the Marauders:
The current ability for a marauder to be in a civ/cult aligned guild is a bug. They are fixing it so that Maras will have to follow the same rules that already apply to all other homins.
Personally i think they could also adjust city guards to see the positive Mara fame, it is a joke that a mara can walk past guards just because their civ fame is up to -42 or whatever the magic number is.
Finally, I have no idea what the point of this thread is. Bina was the first person to reply to Tamarea's post, so this isn't a new issue. If anyone has an idea on how to improve guilds it should be posted in the ideas for ryzom section, Otherwise it seems this thread is just here for us to bash each other and the ryzom staff :(

When the marauder rite has been added, there was not any specific "marauder fame": the Marauders were recognized by their all very negative fames only and not by a specific marauder positive one. This has caused problems with the marauder guards, who didn't recognized the Marauders so didn't defended them. Since then, the gameplay has been changed and a specific Marauders positive fame has been added: any Marauder has got a >50 Marauder fame now. That's the reason why the marauder guards protect Marauders now: they check their Marauder fame.
The old system (Marauder = all negative fames and not = marauder fame>50) is also the reason why there still have a "bug" with the guilds, who don't check the new "marauder fame" for the moment so don't recognize a Marauder and only see him as a factions-neutral and civilizations-neutral. This has to be fixed. A Marauder shouldn't be able to join a non marauder guild, as a Kara homin can't join a Kami one or a Fyros homin can't join a Matis one.
This old system (Marauder = all negative fames and not = marauder fame>50) causes also a technical problem with the forums: Marauders should not have access to "Factions-neutrals" forum neither to "Civilization-neutrals" one because they are not neutrals, they are "Marauders". This will have to be fixed too.
