My daughter plays the game specifically cause I love Star Wars and she wants to play with me. I think its good for her because its a fun way to learn Math and share some entertainment together. She is 7. With the release of guilds, I would LOVE to have her join but Guild Chat is not something I can take a chance exposing her to. Can we turn off guild chat for a Guildie as a GM? Or can I turn it off on her game as a control? If that was the case then she could be a great member of our little group and she could raid with us.

If you created the account for her, which I assume you did there is no current way to turn it off sadly. Perhaps looking for a mature guild would be the best option until you have the ability to disable it.
Good luck.
Our game is COPPA Compliant (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).
As part of that compliance, accounts which are set up as minors will not have access to Guild chat.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure a 7yr old would have more issues finding it. I mean cmon technically they are sending a seven year old to slaughter potential ewoks, hordes of poor rebel/empire soldiers and don't even start with the bug extermination going on in geonosis, droids don't have emotions it's ok to slaughter them just not mine
Hadn't thought of that. However she is innocent and won't put together most of the "colorful" guild names.
It does help, however you didn't read what I posted. I either have the ability to back up her account and deal with guild chat OR I run the risk of her losing everything because she has a local install and deny her. It's a slippery slope, but being a Systems Admin myself (and knowing how hard she is on tech) I want her account backed up. So yes you have given the ability to set this, however you have not considered that kids are just little people and she would be upset if she lost her progress. (She was telling everyone at my birthday the other day I got Darth Sidius!! over and over. It was a trip.)
She's not. But it's not about raids for her. Its about playing with me and being a member of the team. Thats what Guilds are. A team
While I agree the game is violent to a point, there is no gore or blood because of the way they created it. All the toons are just images on the "holotables". Its quite brilliant actually and a great use of SW lore...(the famous holotable game between Chewie and R2).
It burns when I PVP, hahahahaha. I want to congratulate the genius who came up with that! If he isn't a gay fish, that is.
It's my new favorite guild name, and that includes my own.
As a previous poster suggested, why not set up an invite-only guild of just one (her)?
Then set up a new alternate account for yourself (I assume this is okay, I haven't checked TOS). And if there's anyone else you know in real life you trust, and check periodically to make sure no additional people have been allowed in by her. At least with the up to 600 energy/day, and maybe some of the challenges she can reach tier one on even solo, let alone with a few others helping it will eventually be possible to do a raid (since there's no time limit below heroic, and 5 attempts per day, it will take time, but eventually...?).
I know. lol My favorite way to get a mod/dev to weigh in... tell everyone in the thread that they won't.

I would but right now Im using my second account to flood my guild
They censored "assist"
I have a 6 year old, we watch R rated movies when she isn't in the room, but sometimes she catches a bad word or two, so what? She KNOWS the bad words, she KNOWS what is acceptable behavior and what isn't. Bad words are ONLY bad because YOU allow them to be.
People use euphemisms and this is where I go off the deep end. fudge, darn, shoot, crud, dangit, freakin.. Seriously.. What's the difference? The MEANING is still the same you are SAYING a bad word, replacing it with a less used interjection does NOT change the fact or it's meaning.
LEARN to teach your daughter about life instead of finding ways to filter her from reality and some day she will appreciate the difference, even when you will not. The world shouldn't change because of a few exceptions.
You have 2 choices.
Suck it up. Deal with it as it comes.
OR
Don't let her play the game, which is a VERY unrealistic approach you can't protect her or shelter her WHOLE life, eventually she will have to learn on her own. So by filtering you are not giving her a chance to grow up.
Sad reality but that's LIFE, learning it now or when she is 27.. what good is that going to do, except that in the MEAN time she will figure out how to manage it before its too late.
Obviously it's up to you as a parent . Good luck with whatever you decide.
