Option to mute F2P guests?

Discrimination doesn't always have to be used in an unjust context. Schools discriminate against which students are able to attend them. Businesses discriminate against which employees to choose from. And of course, as many of you pointed out, yes, many of our clans discriminate in terms of which players are allowed to join our communities.
Discrimination, in and of itself, is not a bad thing- if it's justified and has a purpose. In many civil rights arguments, this is the main premise that people seem to forget - that I am (a) being discriminated against and (b) for no valid reason .
Your membership status can cause you to be discriminated against for valid reasons. If you don't like that, then obtain membership. Unlike your race, sex, and many other traits you possess - that is something you can actually change, so please stop comparing it to things that you cannot.
Honestly, I do not see a big issue with this option for the above reasons. People need to understand discrimination before using the word carelessly. If you study law, you'd know discrimination is only really illegal if its committed against protected classes. Your membership status is not a protected class.
However, I will state that I think this is a solution that is so particular to just one type of issue (that probably isn't an every-day occurrence for most clans)that I don't think it's worth developing. I think a white-list option whereby clans can choose which guests are allowed to guest, while banning all others, is more preferable. This would serve many uses, while still solving this particular problem (and yes, using a white-list would be discriminatory too against people who aren't your friends
).
