Donations come from the heart,
Not for Greed.
Be Kind, Not rude,
Show Love and Care!

This thread was originally created Sunday, May 13th 2007 by Austin Farmer. The purpose of this thread is to Donate To The Person Above You. It is also the original DTTPAY thread. The thread went under new management February 2009 and is now ran solely by the two co-owners of the thread, as Austin Farmer left the thread years ago.

This thread was not created for others to make a profit, but for users to donate to one another. This is a thread for all types of people, rich or poor. We keep the minimum low to allow everyone to have a chance to post and give. All users are welcome here, new or old we don't shun users for the way they look or for what they give. Enjoy your time here and give from the heart. Once you post in this thread you agree to all of the rules and intend to follow them or be banished from our thread into the pits of hell of Gaiaonline.

Obvious Rules

● Follow the Terms of Service of Gaia.

● Because this is a Donate To The Person Above You thread, you must donate to the person above you and you may not skip users in the thread, unless of course they are bots, bumpers, their post does not have the code word of the month in it or 11 lines.


Thread Requirements;

● In order to post in Austin's thread you need to have 100 posts, or permission from a co-owner if you are using your mule, to post in the thread. If you are going to use a mule, you need to verify that the mule you state you will be using is indeed yours.

● You must have your PMs set to everyone so that we can contact you if there is an issue. If you do not have your PMs set to everyone, we will not allow you to post in the thread.
Our Moderators and Co-owners are an exception to this rule. If their PM's are on 'Friends Only' and you want to contact them, just add them to your friend's list.


● Your profile must be public. For an explanation as to why click here.



Rules for donating

● The donation minimum is 1,500 gold. That means, you can not donate under that amount of gold. A lot of our regulars usually try and donate more than that, as donating minimum all the time can at times make you look bad. But don't worry. We all started somewhere. If you are new to this, just go with the flow.

● When/if sending items please click here for a detailed explanation.

● It is mandatory that you gift back in your trade. For an explanation of what a gift back is, what is not accepted as a gift back and what to do if gift back does not comply with this rule click here.

● Donations are to be made through the trading system. This is to ensure that there is proof you donated to someone in case a scene occurs in which someone claims you didn't donate.

● Trades may be canceled if not accepted with in 24 hours.

● You are not allowed to lower your donation. You may edit it to make your donation more if you want to.

● You can not make your own donation guidelines. This goes for saying "You give minimum, you get minimum" comments. These are NOT allowed, nor tolerable.

● You may not harass a user on what they give you. Doing so is a ban for as long as the Co-owner banning you feels necessary. [in effect: 7/23/10]

● If you have not sent a trade to a user in 20 minutes, the person below you can kindly remind you to donate to them. If you haven't sent a trade, and have re-posted, they can also send you a kind reminder.

● You may only donate minimum a maximum of THREE times a day, All minimum donations should be reported to the correct person using the correct form. Click here for an explanation of this rule, And the correct form to report minimum donations. We only ban people for donating minimum for 1 day.

● If someone has skipped you, report them to a thread moderator, or a co-owner. Do not message Austin, that is the thread moderators job to do so. You must provide proof when sending any complaints to a thread moderator. For an explanation of "proof" and how to report a user to a thread mod please click here.



Rules for Posting

● When posting in the thread you must have the months codeword. [*11 line rule now no longer needed]

● Code word for Octorber is awkward. If this word is not in your post and you have less than 11 lines, people do not have to donate to you. This rule has become effective since January 22nd, 2010. The word must be exactly how it is in the rules [typed wise] with not changes to the type.
The Code word changes the 1st of every month.

● When using the codeword in your postthe codeword must be in your post exactly how it is in the rules. That means, you can't use symbols in lue of words to make the code word fancy. It can not be in the form of an image, white font/font hard to read, it can not be s p a c e d o u t l i k e t h i s, it can not be in caps and it must be visible and easy to spot in your post. This means do not hide it in a wall of text.

examples of acceptable uses of the code word if the code word was pineapple.
pineapple, pineapple, pineapple, pineapple

examples of what is not acceptable usage of the code word if the code word was pineapple.
Pineapple, P I N E A P P L E, PINEAPPLE, pineapple

● Please make your posts readable. Do not use hard to read font colors. If you are asked to change the color in your post because someone can't read it; do it. Yellow is considered a banned color. It's hard to read, and too bright for people to tell what the words say. You are allowed to skip people who use brightly colored yellow in their posts.

● All advertisements must be in your signature, not in your posts.



Other Rules

● You are not allowed to have a public black list. This goes for skipper lists. If someone skips you, report it to a thread moderator. If you are found posting "so and so skipped me" in your posts, you will be banned temporarily.

● You can not post with more then one account at a time. You may use multiple accounts in the thread but may not post with more then one at a time.

● You may not delete your posts or edit your post after you've already posted. Unless your post is deemed inappropriate or harassing on another individual. If you are harassing someone and you are asked to delete or remove your post by a moderator or a co-owner, do it.

● "I dare you to donate _____" is no longer allowed in this thread. If someone is posting this, do not donate to them and report them to a thread moderator with proof of their post.

● You are now allowed to quote people's post IF you are talking. Make sure your quotes don't get out of hand though.

● You are not allowed to post that you are giving away a "set item" for the biggest "heart attack" you receive. This is a variant of a Highest Donator Contest, which is not allowed and is against the T.O.S.

● You can not target a user in any negative form in your post, this is considered not only "blacklisting", but also flaming. We will report anyone who does such activities and ban them permanently from the thread or unless they make a formal apology to set person they attacked.

● Flaming anyone in this thread is not tolerated and will result in a 24 hour ban. If you continuously harass/flame a user in this thread you will be banned permanently.

● When posting, you accept the terms and conditions of Gaiaonline and this thread. You accept the fact that if you have not read the rules, you will be banned without warning.
