The rules for the guild are very simple ones.
1. Please be polite to everyone in the guild. Treat each other as you wish to be treated. Also, please try not to page stretch.
2. No
flaming at all will be allowed. If you start flaming people, you will be warned. If it continues, you will be banned.
3. No
cybering ever. It''s against both Gaia's, mine & God's rules.
4. If you're a Christian speaking with a non-believer, treat them kindly & with respect even if they disagree with your faith.
5. Obey all of the rules of Gaia & the guild.
6. Active members wanted & needed. This addition to the rules comes from questions I've received. There is a thread titled :EVERYONE READ: about this issue. Zero posts are bad; one or more posts are good. Also, things will be looked at on a case by case basis. Here's a link to the
EVERYONE READ thread.

Ex: a bumping thread, a random post whatever poll, etc. Those kind of places are fine for spam & random chatter. Places like the Advertisement thread (advertise you guilds etc..) is not the proper place for random chatter/spam. The Fellowship Lounge is also fine for a bit of spam because it's there for members to chat in. Please use common sense when deciding where spam/bumps/random chatter belong before posting. I don't want to have to make a list of areas where it is and isn't acceptable. I will if I have to, though.
Updated:8. YOUR CONDUCT OUTSIDE OF THE GUILD is your bussiness. Just remember how your conduct will reflect not only on you, but also could reflect poorly on the guild (its other members) as well. i've recieved a couple of complaints about a member(s) allready. Ex: "So & so is nice & Christian-like in the guild, but in the Chatterbox they are so different" (rude, mean, etc..). I've advised the person coming to me with the issue that the other party mentioned hasn't broken any guild rules. The other parties conduct though does make the guild and other Christians look bad because of their actions. I have not spoken with anyone by PM based on outside-of-the-guild actions. Outside of this guild is a Gaian moderators area to handle, not mine. Just remember, though, that if you joined this guild saying "I wanna join cuz i'm a christian",
I would hope you'll conduct yourself in a Christian type manner. I don't like to be made into a fool by accepting invites by Gaians that claim to be Christians, but act different everywhere else on Gaia. This is both a Christian and non Christian guild, but if you joined claiming that you are one and act otherwise elswhere, I might remove members purely out of embaressment. Remember that a guild Captain can ban someone for any reason or no reason at all. If you're not sure if something you are going or want to do is correct and proper for the guild, just remember WWJD (what would Jesus do).
More rules to follow as needed.
Also, a very big pet peeve of mine is people taking the Lord's name in vain. You know swearing at someone or something using God's name as a swear word.
