What we do here:

Lurkers are always welcome, but we'd especially love members who would post, make new topics, and participate in contests.

We're a PG13 spam guild with games, contests, the occasional uprising, an unofficial mascot only 3 people know what exactly it is, a poll for every topic, bumping (but only in the bump sticky), and chatting about nearly anything.

Post 3 - Mod Mule, Contests & Guild House

Greetings PHers. I am Poll_Haven, the multi-mod operated mule. At your service to help run contests in Poll Haven.

Every mod in Poll Haven has access to my account to make the processing of entry fees, prize handouts, ect, faster and easier. You’ll no longer have to worry about mods going on hiatus and contests going stagnant. If the mod running the contest becomes distracted another mod can step in and take their place.

So from now on please send contest entries to me. For the time being please also send any donations to the guild to me. Don’t send donations directly to the guild via the guild home page because we mods don’t have access to those funds. Donations to me will primarily be recycled back into the guild in the form of prizes. Both gold and any items are appreciated. When sending an entry fee or a donation please make sure to use the title bar to specify exactly what whatever your sending us is for (donation, specific contest name, ect).

If any members would like to run contests please first make sure to speak with the mods and get their approval. You will also need at least one mod to sponsor your contest. The sponsor mod will be the one who will use me on your behalf to take entry fees for your contest and to hold then distribute any prizes. This will be to ensure that all contests (especially those involving entry fees) are seen through to completion and no members run the risk of being ripped off, even if only due to the inactivity of another member.

If you have any questions, suggestions, contest proposals ect, you can still post a thread or contact an active mod directly, or you may also PM me and the first mod to check in that day will help you.




Most contests in PH have a minimum post count rule for contestants to qualify. Basically that means you have to have at least so many posts in this guild before you can participate. This is to be more fair to older and more active members, instead of having a member who joined yesterday and won't be around tomorrow winning the good prizes.

You can check your post count anytime by clicking on the "Guild Members" button on the top left of the page.

type your user name EXACTLY as you would type it to sign into gaia into the search box.

Your name should pop up along with a list that says your level in the guild (should say member), how much you've donated to the guild (Please don't donate to the guild that way, we can't access it right now, send donations to the mod mule Poll_haven instead), and the number of posts you've made in the guild).

If you don't meet the minimum post count you're entry will be rejected.

Every post you make in the guild counts towards your post count- topics, replies, and even bumps in the bump sticky.

Most contests with a minimum post count will be at least 50 posts, but the better the prizes the higher the minimum will be. I've no idea yet what the next contests minimum will be. So get to work! mrgreen

*Bumpleteing - To post and immiedietly delete a post just for gold or to up a post count. It messes up pages leaving long empty gaps and clogs up the mods activity log and is therefore not allowed in Poll Haven.

*Fall of the original PH family - A day everything went haywire in the PH family topic. The contents of posts where changed by one or more battling mods and in a fit of desperation the original thread was permenently deleted.

*Fred - A little healthy competition for George. Ended up dating Sally. Dumped Salley for name-forgotten and was married. Had to go on the run from a now psycho and stalking Sally. Hasn't been seen in PH since.

*Frob/frogbird - When Mais appointed Dusty the family frog she had to point out that she was alrady a bird. (thedustyphoenix) Thus the mutant cabbage eating frob was born...

*George - A mystery. Introdced to Poll Haven by Maison, only he and 2 others know who or what George truley is. Yes only poll haven could have an unofficial mascot that even it's members don't know what it is.

*Page claiming - A Ph tradition. There are 4 ways to claim a page.
1-The easiest is to be the first person to post on a page in a topic. Then go back and hit the edit button and add *claims page* to the bottom of the original post.
2 - Be the last person to post in every topic on the front page, then make a new topic saying so.
3- Make so many new topics that every topic on the front page was created by you. (If your trying to do this then a few pointless polls are fine, but most should have at least some degree of thought to them, not just a bunch of edgergth3 type posts to take up space.)
4- the hardest way, do both 2 and 3 at once!
There's no prize for claiming a page, just the satisfaction of the accomplishment.
