Sorry about the bad pun in the title.

Right, first of, the guardian spam:
I started getting spammed by guardian request, without having any minors over 6 in my court. I traced the problem to one of my sons, 6 years old, being the mayor of a city, as a vassal of my direct vassal. He had no guardian, and when I gave him one, the spam stopped. For a while. Then he lost his guardian, and the spamming started up again.

As the game doesn't, in any way, tell you which child the guardian request is for (which it really need to frankly), this gets annoying quickly.

The game should either:
Show the "lack of guardian" tab for minor children of your ruler without guardians, anywhere in the world.
Or have them get their own guardian.

It should in any case, as minimum, show which child that question is about.

The council spam:
ATM, your liege wont take no for an answer. If he wants you as a council member, he will continuously spam you with request about you becoming a council member. This is not only tedious, it is also open to exploits. Get the right ambition, get the council seat, retire (with no discernible consequences), do another ambition/plot, get the right council ambition, get the council seat. And as your liege will continue to spam you with council request, you can do this to your heart's content.

The neverending levy:
The emperor of HRE have a tendency to raise your levy, and keep them for literally decades (okay, perhaps only a decade). The problem comes from rebels. When the emperor goes to war, he raises some levies. All is fine. But then some rebels might spawn in the opposite side of his empire, so his newly created stack-o-doom, and he walks the army to anywhere the rebels are. The problem is that this takes forever, and there are no reason why the 10000 man strong army should walk from Italy to Mecklenburg, to quell a 700 man strong rebellion. Then some province in Italy might have a peasant rebellion, and it starts again. So even though the emperor might not be at war, he will still have levies raised for ages.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention something.

When the emperor raise your vassals levies, and keeps them forever, it isn't the emperor that gets the negative relations modifier, it's you.

That cannot be right.
My liege does something, that I cannot do anything about, except declaring independence (and I'm not sure that would actually work, because my liege still have my levies raised...), and I get the blame? Wut?

I have had -30 relations with many of my vassals for a long time now, and it's rising.
 
On your first point, I assume you are talking about the "Child needs a Guardian" icon that pops up at the top of your screen. If you click that it opens the child's character screen and lets you select a guardian easily so I'm not sure what your problem is. Or maybe I have misunderstood how this request is appearing for you.

Yes, you have misunderstood something.
The icon doesn't appear when your child is not in your court. But the requests to become your child's guardian still happens.
 
The first issue, with children in other courts, works fine for me. I don't get spammed and they are assigned guardians automatically by the AI.

I can agree on the part where it should be specified which child the request concerns.
