I dunno how new you are so I'll just explain it from the start.

Basically, you want to get 6 guilds and ally all of them together. Pick one of them as your main guild and take towers on that tag. When you find people who seem trustworthy and worth keeping in the guild, tag them to 1 (just 1) of the sub guilds. They can help defend towers on the sub tags and use it as an easy way to communicate and ask for the main tag.

Anyway, actually managing members:

• Have no more than 2 rows of permanent members, like leads. In the 4 guilds I've done, I found that exactly 2 rows is the best, because 15 spots of rotating member spaces is pretty efficient for most towers and you can comfortably double.
• Before you go offline, assign temporary leads that you trust. Give them recruit/kick powers. I would do this even if I have other leads on, because you never know who will leave when you're gone.
• If you really trust certain people in the guild, you can pass leadership to them when you log off with the expectation that they will then return it to you when they log off. This allows you to constantly have someone online who can assign temps.
• Treat your sub tags as more important than your main tag in regards to recruiting. Sub tags can be abused to steal the flag while invincible from other members.
• Try to communicate with quiet members of the guild to let them know that you see them helping often. People usually get discouraged and feel the need to spam and nag for your attention so that they are eventually rewarded, so doing that prevents it.
• Clearly communicate goals and rules, I'd suggest in guild news. All 4 of my guilds 24/7'd Sardon's and by just reinforcing simple rules like "only 2 at the flag" or "defend the halls on the red tiles, not the blue" over and over allows it to sink into heads, and eventually others start repeating it.
