500+ member guilds are typically the guilds that care more about quantity than quality anyways. A good percentage of their members will be players who don't play much, or at all, after the initial join.

GMs that have any interest in their guild roster will have every member on their friend list. If not, it's their own fault if "something goes wrong."

In my opinion, STS Support can't even be expected to "restore" a guild which has been griefed. If I was a player who was kicked off of a guild while offline by a griefer for no reason, am I going to know it wasn't supposed to happen? If I wasn't even on the GM's friend list and s/he doesn't have a way to message me when I log in the next time, there's a good chance I'd try to get into another guild as soon as I got on.

If you are a GM and have everyone in your friend list, rebuilding is as easy as
  • setting up one or two quick chats that explains what happened
  • join a player on friend list who was erroneously kicked (easiest if in a Base)
  • do your quick chats
  • invite
  • repeat
