GUILD RULES
General Guild Rules
● Follow Gaia ToS. You signed up for them. Just because you are in a guild does not mean you can stop following Gaia's rules.
● I am the Owner or Captain of this guild. Therefore what I say goes without exception. I have the power to ban you if you break the rules and, if you persist in breaking rules, I will permanently ban you.
● If you have a question then ask politely. Being rude will get you no where with me. If something is unclear, or you are unsure of something, then don't hesitate to ask. There are no stupid questions and your question may help improve the guild.
● Activity is expected. You must post at least once a month (unless you notify me by using the Absence Thread.
● Your activity may consist of a post in the OOC. Failure to post once a month will result in a PM reminding you about this guild and, if you do not contact me within the following month, I will boot you from the guild. Why is this? Well, I want this guild to be full of active role players and, if / when I do announcements, I do not want to be wasting the guild gold on inactive people.
● Absolutely no spam what so ever. If you are not sure if I would consider your thread spam then PM your idea to me, I will tell you if it is suitable to be placed in the guild.
● Be polite (and as friendly as possible) to everyone in the guild. I do not appreciate having to defuse situations because someone had a temper tantrum. Nor do I appreciate decent roleplayers leaving because of catty behaviour! If you have an issue with someone, PM me your grievances and I will see if anything needs to be done about it.
● In this guild we use a system called Role Play Levels (RPL) to distinguish 'levels of literacy' (e.g. semi-literate, literate, advance literate).
● You will need to take a short (and painless!) test to be given an RPL which you can use in the guild. This is not meant to be big and scary, so don't worry about it.
● Profiles threads and out of character threads should be posted in the Profile and OOC forum.
● You introduce yourself here as a sign that you have read all these rules.
Creating a Roleplay
● You are allowed to 'import' your own role play from Barton Town into this guild.
● If your role play is aimed at certain levelled writers you must state this in your roleplay. It may be helpful if you state this in the thread title, for example: 'Zombie Land RPL 2-3'.
● Your rules may not conflict with any of the guild rules.
Joining a Roleplay
● It is your responsibility to read the rules of the role play. By applying to the role play you agree to follow the author's rules.
● Most, if not all, role plays in this thread will ask for a RPL, don't be afraid to give it.
