Won't ever, ever happen.
Almost impossible to manage and will inevitably only lead to arguments about who ran through who. We've always asserted that issues like that should be enforces by individual guilds.

From playing WoW, I have to say that that almost certainly does happen. Guild Chat starts to get ignored very quickly once everyone's laughing and giggling away on TS / Vent. This might mean that people who don't have the freedom of a microphone and a free space would be left in the dust of those who're able to speak their intentions, or at the very least there would be some waiting around if opinions are to be heard and fairly judged. You're inevitably going to end up a little 'cliquey' with the people who will voice. You can't necessarily criticise people for that, it's much easier to be personal and have some good banter over mic - I'd go so far as to say it's great for team bonding. People often get at each other's throats a bit less when they can hear a human voice instead of just words on a screen. But, yeah, you're going to end up leaving those who can't participate (or are too shy to participate) behind.

Speaking as a member of, probably, the only guild you're ever likely to do any major PvP with ever again - I don't think I'd particularly be bothered about fairness if you started using Vent / TS (good luck having a lag-free UO experience with that many people in a Skype chat.) There are certainly a few people in Grd that'd have a moan about it but they're the same people that moan that you have mages, moan that Orc! have a mystic, moaned that Rbl were always the attackers, moaned about Vesper's cheap tactics and whatever else. That's not a commentary on Grd alone, either, there's sour losers in every guild. End of the day, BoC need all the advantages they can get eh? Be even harder to stomp out the OOC chatter and get people to focus on their RP than it has been since GC was introduced, mind.

As Hoagie (I think it was) found out when Dave Williams was running around branding him a pedo, there's really not a lot EA will do about harassment. They'll tell you they're looking into it but there's little they can do.
Just ignore him, really. When you react and stand and argue with him it gives him what he wants - a giggle. If he's stupid enough to keep putting the barrels in houses then they're very, very quickly removed by dropping in and out of custo mode (as Dave Williams found out when he filled the Swaggers and Rebecca just went "... lol?" and got rid of them.)
As for spying, er, is he actually doing anything or just watching them? Again, if he's not actively bothering your friends just tell them to ignore it, tbh. If they're off, lol, doing the nasty in Malas or whatever it is that he's trying to imply then it shouldn't be much of a chore for them to set their house there to private anyway; or recall away and lose him. Know it's a bit long, like, but the game's a big place.

Your wording might be a little unwise, in that it has the potential to inflame, but generally it happens to all of us.
Those left just generally have to make do and accept that it's never going to be "the glory days."
UO's never worth IRL stress. Enjoy the real world, chap!
