We are going to be a more forgiving in terms of naming conventions in the Land Rush than we will in PFO when it goes live. Things to remember in terms of naming aside from the obvious (no curse words, etc):
1. Your settlement is going to need to have a name that sounds like a place, and has no references to the real world, other IPs, etc. No Skywalkertown, no Moria, and while the Company of the Griffon could be your company name it cannot be a settlement name. Yes, we are going to approve all settlement names by hand.
2. Your company names should not reference real world people, places, or things.
3. Make sure you do not use company or settlement names from other IPs. We can't have a Company of Drizzt running around the game, nor can we have a settlement called Waterdeep. We've had some close calls on this front in the names so far, but they've mainly been coincidences involving commonly titles/terminology rather than common names.
Also make sure you fill out your motto and description. If neither of these are filled out your guild application will not be approved (unless I click the wrong button, which has happened once, but the guild has been notified anyways). Also fill out your founder email as otherwise I have to go to the forums to find you and that just drags everything out.

Founder email? I don't see that option. Unless you mean that the user who creates the guild needs to have an e-mail address on their account info... but then wouldn't they also need that to create the account in the first place?

You are correct that there is no field for this. When a guild creation form is submitted it pulls the attached email address from the submitter's profile. We noticed that yesterday a slew of people managed to transfer from Paizo with no email address. We have since corrected the issue but there are still a good number of people who don't have an email attached to their account right now.
Basically Lee's final sentence translates to 'Check your account page to make sure you have an email attached to your account before submitting this form.'

You're right, it's the account email, I put founder email as that's what it's listed as in my guild management tool. It looks like some people's emails were lost in translation, so we need to track those down. The problem has been fixed going forward.
