Why would you want to contact guild members outside of the game? There's no reason and if it's for personal information like email, etc..then that's not a good reason.

Disney is aware of all the dangers on the internet and has zero tolerance for anything other than something relating to pirates/toontown. If you talk about real life then it gets too personal. I have never wanted to talk about personal information in game or out to people on the internet. Why anyone would want to talk about real life in the game is beyond me. Talking about real life(my opinion) is something you can do to people who you know in real llife.

Most people get banned for silly things like giving out information or talking about real life. If that's the cause then maybe speedchat plus was a bad idea.

From wiki:

In computer and video gaming, a clan or guild is a group of players who regularly play together in a particular (or various different) multiplayer games[1]. These games range from groups of a few friends to 1000-person organizations, with a broad range of structures, goals and members. The lifespan of a clan also varies considerably, from a few weeks or months to several years. Numerous clans exist for nearly every online game available today, notably in first-person shooters, massively multiplayer games, role-playing games, and strategy games.

Why gamers join clans
Joining a clan places one within a social network which provides access to resources, knowledge, and help needed to accomplish many game related goals. In addition, banding together with like-minded players seems to fulfill a human desire for social interaction. Taken together, these two factors can vastly enhance the gameplay experience of many players.


Competition
Some clans focus on competition and may arrange recruitment, scrimmages and training sessions to reach their goals. For example, some clans only recruit skilled players who they think can help their clan win matches. It is common for a prospective clan member to be asked to prove their skill in a game, by taking a series of tests against current clan members in a private server. Some teams will also only recruit players who have a proven history with other successful teams, in order to prevent cheaters from joining their team.


Belonging
Belonging to a clan can enhance a player's game experience by providing them with a group of familiar people with whom they can interact. In some clans, the stated purpose of the group is to talk to each other that simply enjoy playing. When clans are not competing in formal matches, they often operate a looser, more relaxed server for their members and the public to play in.

Yep, can't see why anyone would form personal relationships from joining a clan or guild.
