General Overview
Welcome to my GaiaOnline thread. Gaia has rules just like this thread. They're called the ToS (Terms of Service). If you don't agree with my rules or Gaia, I suggest leaving my thread and possibly Gaia. If you break any rules you will be warned, but warnings don't always happen. You can be banned for your first offense so be warned.
Why Do We Have to Have Rules?
Gaia is one of the biggest online communities on the internet. Admins have worked hard to make this site what it is and they don't want to see users leaving because of rude users with bad grammar. So to keep Gaia as awesome as it is, we have rules. Otherwise Gaia might be cesspit of idiots, and cesspits are
bad.
The main things I have a problem with...
If you break to rules, I'll report you, or someone else will.
Using racist, sexist, homophobic or hateful language. It's just plain mean.
Posting/Linking to pornographic (including cartoon porn) or NSFW (Not Safe For Work) material. There are children on this site.
Linking to viruses, or maliciously coded websites.
Discussing illegal activities, pretty obvious.
My advice...
Use proper punctuation and grammar.
Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse not to follow them.
Lurk first, post second. Read the entirety of every thread you post in BEFORE you post.
If you're about to make a post that you're not sure is OK, whether covered by the rules or not, don't.
Read, re-read, and respect these rules.
It shouldn't be that hard to follow these rules, since just about all of them are covered in the ToS.
