Bare Basics of the GGN

• What is a GGN Guild?
  A GGN guild is rather like a privately run forum. In Gaia's main forums, the administrators and moderators set the rules for the individual forums and enforce these. In a GGN guild, while everything must still comply with Gaia's TOS, the guild Captain sets the rules on what can be posted and the Captain and Crew of each GGN guild enforce their own rules. They get the ability to do things such as make announcements and stickies which only moderators can do in the main Gaia forums, as well as decide who is allowed into their guild and who isn't.
  
  
• How do I get one?
  To get your own GGN guild, you need 20,000 gold. That's 20k. Then you wander over to The Barton Town map, go into the Guilds building, and on the left there's a shield that says, "Create Guild". Just click there and follow the instructions to create your own GGN guild.
  
  
• Entry Fees/Guild Gold?
  Whether or not to charge an entry fee is up to the sole discretion of the guild Captain. Entry fees charged on joining a guild are added to the Guild's gold fund. Captain, Crew, and other GGN members can also donate gold to the guild. Everyone should be aware that there is absolutely no way to access the guild funds to remove them, or refund them. At the moment, subforums for the guild can be purchased for 2500 gold (that's 2.5k) from guild funds. There will be other uses for guild funds in the future.
  
  
• The Three Guild Types
  
  1. Public
     Public guilds forums can be seen and posted in by anyone. Only members can be banned from a guild, so it's not possible to keep a user out of a public guild if they are not a member of the guild.
     
  2. Private
     Private Guilds forums can be seen by the public, but only members can post in the guild forum.
     
  3. Hidden
     Hidden Guilds have their forums invisible to all but those who are members of the guild. Please note though, that this doesn't make it okay to break Gaia's TOS inside a hidden guild.
     
  
  
• What's the difference between a guild and a clan?
  Clans are special Guilds for zOMG! players. Think of them as teams. You can be in as many Guilds as you want, but only one Clan at a time.

Gaia Guilds Network (GGN)

For official clarification of GGN policy, please contact one of the GGN Moderators.

General Guidelines

• Everything inside the GGN must comply with Gaia's TOS.
  Things such as cyber, abuse, racial slurs, hentai, porn, etc.. that are disallowed by Gaia's TOS are not allowed in the GGN just as they're not allowed in the rest of Gaia's forums.
  
  
• Report things to Guild Crew and Captains first
  In the GGN, the guild Captain and their crew are charged with keeping order in their guild. Most violations should be reported to and dealt with by them. Moderators are usually only needed in the case of Captains or Crew not acting to keep guild members in line or being the ones who are breaking the rules themselves.
  
  
• Spamming GGN Advertising or Invitations is not allowed
  At the moment, the only acceptable ways to advertise a GGN guild is either by placing a link in your signature, or posting in the chatterbox forum. Or if you really want to, you could buy a user ad to be displayed on the main forum page. Other methods may become available in the future. Sending invitations to users you meet or know of in the forums is fine, but massively spamming random Gaians you don't know with numerous guild invitations should be avoided.

[Ashido Angel]

God they were rite its risky....but i can do it...and for now ima invite people hu r my friends and my close friends so i kno i can trust em.

[Delita Heiral]

I wish to know if in the future can you choose to have it set where Captains and Vice-Captains are the only people to allow an invite? I've been having problems with not knowing a certain Crew Member had been inviting a group of trolls into my Guild, and since the logs do not show who invited who, but who banned who, it's ticking me off. stare I keep banning the trolls, but I also want to know how this can be resolved.

Guild Categories

A GGN guild category can be changed at any time by the guild captain, even after the guild is created, by going into the moderator panel and choosing to edit the guild settings. Guild Categories are one of the few means a user has to search out a specific guild to join. Give them careful consideration, along with your guild title, since categories and keywords are what will enable others to find your guild.

The list below endeavors to give you some expanded definitions of the various categories available.

Category Definitions

• General - Hang out, talk about random stuff, etc.
  
• Discussion - Discuss general or specific things in a more structured manner... possibly similar to forums like General Discussion and Extended Discussion.
  
• Anime - Fan guilds for Anime shows and movies.
  
• Manga - Fan guilds for Manga books.
  
• Role-Playing - A general RP category for various types of role-play. Possibly also guilds that talk about roleplaying.
  
• Gaming - Based on video games, gaming systems, etc.
  
• Art - Drawing, animation, etc.
  
• Interest-based - A specific interest is targeted... this could be almost anything, from dating to religion, etc.
  
• Commerce - Usually role-play based around commerce such as cafe's, inns, bars, and other places of business.
  
• Spam - Unlimited polls, useless topics, spam spam spam!
  
• Political - Discussion, debate, etc.. revolving around politics.
  
• Military/Army - Usually role-play based around military, army, mercenary, or other similar organizations.
  
• Foreign Language - Primary communication in these is not english. Could be based around a specific language, or a specific area of the world.
  
• Entertainment - Interest groups based around movies, TV shows, magazines, etc.

Hey Leon,how can i make someone vice-captain?

[iRoachi]

There is currently a glitch with guilds, well with mine anyway.
Join requests that have already been Accepted/Declined are showing up. When you go to accept them again you get a note saying "User has already left the queue". It's quite frustrating.

Maybe they already left the queue.
