I know it was in the anouncement but please take note! Quote: Hey guys, I’m Chainey, the horrible, stinking, ungodly Chain Letter Monster! Pity me, for I should not exist! I am a hideous abomination! Wheeee!As long as I’ve got your attention, allow me to gently grab you by the scruff of the neck and educate you about chain letters. Don’t worry, it will be relatively painless!What is a Chain Letter?In Gaian terms, a chain letter is any private message or forum post that asks you to pass it on to a bunch of other people. It might say “send this to a dozen people,” or “send this to everyone on your friend list,” or “send this to everyone with a silly red hat.” Whatever.
Why are Chain Letters Dumb?I’m glad you asked! Chain letters are dumb for plenty of reasons. * They’re annoying and spammy. Most people don’t like them! * They’re usually filled with lies and misinformation! They won’t help you get gold, they won’t get you banned if you don’t pass them along, and they won’t give you good luck if you do! * Chain letters will get you banned!They’re totally against the rules! Hey, are These Chain Letters? * Petitions that ask you to add your name and send the list to 10 people are chain letters. Requests for Gaia features only be posted in the petition subforum * Private messages that tell you a ghost is going to pop out and kill you if you don’t pass the letter to a bunch of people are chain letters! It will never happen. We promise. If a ghost actually kills you because of a chain letter, we will personally apologize to you and send you a fruit basket! * Private messages claiming that Gaia is going to be shut down, or will start charging money, are chain letters. Not true! If we’re going to make a change to the site, we’ll tell you about it (and it won’t be in the form of a chain letter!) * If something says your account will be deleted if you don’t pass it on, it’s a chain letter. Please report any messages like this to the moderators right away. It’s a chain-scam! * Messages that say you’ll have bad luck if you don’t pass them on are chain letters. Not true! But you will have bad luck if you do pass them on: you might get banned! * If it looks like a chain letter, it’s a chain letter, okay? Use some common sense. Letters that ask you to pass them around are chain letters. So don’t pass them around! When is it Okay to Send a Chain Letter?The only time you should forward a chain letter to anyone is when you’re reporting it to a moderator. It’s as easy as that!

They should've known that was going to happen when they reinstated the whole friends@gaia thing anyway. Would be nice if they would touch a bit on the proper use of the feature though so people can see the difference in what is and isn't ok.
