General Rules:
1. Follow the TOS at all times.
2. Bumping is not allowed. Stay and talk, RP, be silly, anything other than unnecessary bumping. This includes pointless posts but will be slightly less lenient(As occasionally I may post a random quote as a 'intro' to my entry to the page... for example)
3. Non-members are welcome in the thread, as long as they follow the rules.
4.
No OOC drama. If you are having a problem with another person in the thread, take it somewhere else. This is "home" for many of us, and we don't want to deal with unecessary drama.
5. Three strikes and you're out. Failure to follow any thread rules will result in a warning. A second failure to comply will result in a second warning and land you on the Gray List, possibly a temp ban, depending on the behaviour. A third infraction will land you on the black list, meaning you are no longer welcome in the thread. Failure to respect this will get you banned from the thread permanently (through the ignore list) and reported for trolling/harassment.
6. We reserve the right to change or add to these rules at any time. We also reserve the right to skip the "three strikes" system if you are deemed to be a troll.
7. If you have a problem with another user present, or had been present, or even never present in this thread, there is no reason what so ever to 'call them out'. If you feel a warning must be given to others I want a PM. These types of posts are now being considered bumping and or spam and will be deleted.
8. No advertising, if you wish to advertise your thread, site, link, guild and nothing else(occasionally we all have something we wish to show others but its done in conversation not BAM! here it is, goodbye) you
MUST contact me and ask to do so. Any accepted requests will be displayed on the first page for optimum viewing, not a random interruption in the thread.
RP Rules:
RPing is welcome here, In fact, we encourage it. If you choose to RP with us, simply follow the rules.
1. You do not have to be a member to RP here. Just remember that the rules still apply to non-members.
2. Expect both RP talk and OOC talk at the same time in here. This is fine. If you want to chat OOC while there is RPing taking place, please use (( )) or a similar system to indicate that. However, if there is currently no RPing taking place on a page, the OOC marks are not necessary.
3. All styles and races are welcome. Magic, technology, Elves, Spirits, Androids, Demons, plain old humans, anythingyou can imagine are acceptable as long as they are made to fit into the world of Gaia.
4. No God-modding, unless given permission by the other player. If an action is deemed to be God-modding, or any other form of cheating, it will be ignored.
5. RP fighting is allowed, however, you may not destroy the building. Small, fixable damage is allowed. Any major damage must be cleared with Elec or Kaos 1st.
6. You do not have to apply to RP in this thread. Simply come up with a character, give them a reason to be here and start interacting with whoever else is IC at the time.
7. For RP purposes, this thread represents the lobby of the GIT building. If you want to take the RP to any of the other publically accessible areas, go to the RP Guild, where the rest of the building is represented. This is also where you go if you would like to formally apply for an RP position as a member of the GIT staff.
8. Romance is allowed, indeed, tends to by rather common here. However, cybering in any form is never allowed.
9. You may have as many RPCs as you want. And think you can handle.

10. We accept all RP experience and skill levels, however, we do expect you to do your best. One liners and poor writing are usually not very fun for anyone. If you would like to have help improving your RP skills, ask our more experienced members. Many of us are willing to help or to point you in the right direction to go to find help.
