also what was distrubing is I was in a bunch of Guilds that I didn't want be in! I desided to quit some these..
Let me be truthful, I NEVER,EVER be Nazist!!(grammor or otherwise..)
Back in World War II,German Nazis caused lot of trouble for people with handicap problems,race,etc..
this reminds me of the guild I'm in..Who no other but Ms. Strawberry Ice Cream as well as my "Constantine Wolf" reminded why they shouldn't flame Newbies,etc..
Here's a Quote from her...
Strawberry Ice Cream
Recently, well...
Actually, it's rather sad, but us mods have only taken note of it recently, so I'm guessing it's been going on for a long time now, and it's a really big problem. For the guild, it's members, and prospective members alike. It's probably not one that any of you have taken note of, or have even thought to be a problem, but it IS a problem, and now it's being addressed, finally.
What is it, since I now have your attention? Why, it's quite simple.
Tell me what's wrong with this following conversation.
----------
Person A: Hi lol I jus wanted 2 now how evrybody is doing. I lik eFinal Fantsy X! xd
Person B: WTF, man, shut up and go away, freakin' noob. Read the f**king rules why don't ya.
Person C: Oh my GAWD, not another retard. >.< When's a mod gonna come over and lock this?
Person D: One word: N00B.
Person E: Bump.
----------
What's wrong? It's the ATTITUDE of the members as they respond to the new and inexperienced member.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Yeah, folks who type like that are a problem, and they can be annoying. But telling them that they are a retarded noob will NOT solve the problem. You'll hurt somebody's feelings, the person will leave without learning how to properly post a thread or what the rules of the guild are, and the guild ends up looking like a pit of jerks.
Just because someone doesn't know what they are doing doesn't mean that you can beat them down like that. It is unjust, unfair, and even humiliating to the person that is recieving the verbal beating. If the person was warned countless times and supplied with the proper information by a moderator, then let the MOD deal with it. It is the job of not only the moderators, but the WHOLE GUILD, to make new members feel welcome, and if they do end up breaking rules, to guide them into the right direction. Name calling does not teach new members how to type coherently, or how to make a proper on topic thread.
Think about it, if you were in their shoes, while you were in, let's say, the fourth grade or so. You still can't type well, but you can understand well enough what others are saying. It's your first time in a 'guild,' and you're excited about making your first thread/post/whatever. You make this new thread, talking about something you like, wanting to see if others like the same thing. Instead of being treated to other's opinion on the topic of the thread (which is off topic in the guild where it was made), you've got at least five or so people telling you how stupid, retarded, n00bish, and utterly horrible you are for making this thread.
How would you feel if someone did that to you, at that age? I know I would have broken down into tears and never gone to the website, or near a computer, for a very, very long time.
If you cannot post in any thread with anything constructive to people who accidentally break the rules, then do NOT POST ANYTHING AT ALL. If you MUST post something, you have to be polite and considerate about it, and NOT BE A JERK. We get a lot of new, rather YOUNG members who've recently played the game, or who just think the characters look cool.
I do also realize that some people who are older, heck, even around my age, will type like that, and disregard the rules even when they are pointed in the correct direction or supplied with a link to them. As I've said previously, a MODERATOR will deal with them, not the members. If you are not a moderator, then just leave it be until a moderator gets to it, or PM a mod with a link so that they can get to it on the double.
Whatever you do, do NOT beat down on a fellow member because they did something wrong. And if you see a moderator doing the same, whether it't to another member or yourself, PM another moderator or myself about it, and include the name of all parties involved, mod and member alike. We will then deal with it promptly to the best of our ability.
I do not want new folks coming into this guild only to quit it after a day or so because they were treated like crap by the members OR moderators. It reflects poorly not only on the guild or Gaia, but on us as humans. People come here to safely and happily discuss all matters pertaining to Final Fantasy VII, not to be told how 'retarded' or 'n00bish' they are.
It's disrespectful, it's counter-productive, and it's just plain STUPID.

this Kind attudue I have deal with in T3h Guild,Random Gaian and few others I run into..Sometimes,it makes me wanna quit.
Luckly thanks to a friend of mine,He has rule in my Brother's guild:
Dread Lycan(Constantine Wolf)
There will be no flaming or bashing in the guild. That means meaningless insults towards any of Gaia's members or mods....and for gods sake, leave their mothers out of it.
No predjudice comments, words, statements, or remarks that insult any group of people because of their age, sex, nationality, sexuality, or handicaps. I will personally shine my boots to kick your arse out if I see any of this. And yes, newbie in any form of word is predjudice. So don't let me hear anyone say that either.

That what he said keep this in mind when you wanna flame someone,DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Gaia is not flaming battlefield...neither cybering or horrassing either..all of them are against the TOS rules..
So,Keep in mind...be curtious and be repectful to fellow new gaians..I should know. I was in that place..a long time ago...
There you ago,I have my 2-cents in..thank-you...
