Welcome to the Rules and Reports Guide for Dummies

Hello! If I've linked you to this guide for information, please post and give me some feedback! Was it helpful? Was anything difficult to understand? Giving me feedback allows me to edit the guide so future users can benefit further! 4laugh

Disclaimer:

The rewritten work of the Terms of Service, provided by Gaia Online, has been written by me, ll P W E E P ll. As a user I do not claim any part of the ToS as my own, and my sole intent is to make the Terms of Service easier to understand for other members. The rewritten words are mine, and are not to be taken as the real rules of Gaia Online. If for any reason you find the rewritten words unhelpful, or if they are not truthful, contact me and I will change or edit the words so others can understand.

I have not edited the quoted ToS parts in any way. Those are direct words from the actual Terms of Service. The dark red text is my own words.

I am not a moderator/administrator nor do I claim to be. I am only a user on Gaia hoping to make the Terms of Service easier to understand.
