I know how it is with you people. You see a long list of rules and make a run for it.
rolleyes But a guild needs rules, otherwise there would be death, dying, and destruction galore. And that would suck. So... *drum roll* below are the guild's rules, read them carefully, always abide by them, yadda yadda yadda... Just follow 'em and you'll be okay.
Rules and Guidelines1. Follow
guild rules and guidelines,
Gaia rules and guidelines,
Gaia ToS, and
Gaia safety tips.
2. Please do not create any Stickies or Announcements. Those are reserved for the crew. Please only make normal topics. But you can post inside Announcements and Stickies.
3. Please don't copy off anyone. It's called plagiarizing, and it violates copyright laws. Plagiarizing is unlawful. That means you could get stuck in prison and end up with a big fine.
gonk (If you're lucky, you'll get away with just a ban.)
4. You won't be banned for inactivity, but please try to be as active as possible.
5. No cheating, phishing, scamming, etc.
6. Be respectful of others. Follow the Golden Rule.
3nodding 7. You ARE allowed to make your own contests, games, and mini-events. In fact, I encourage you to do so. Just don't make it an Announcement or a Sticky, as stated in rule #2.
8. You're not required to donate gold towards the guild, but doing so is greatly appreciated. If you donate to us, send it in a trade to Super Aelita or xX_WillowSummers_Xx (preferably Super Aelita). Donating directly to the guild is not encouraged, as it can only be used for subforums, and we have plenty of those.
9. Punishments for breaking rules go in this order:
-warning
-temporary ban/blacklist
-permanent ban
10. Doing something extra good (donating, posting a lot, etc.) gets you on the whitelist.
whee Being on the whitelist means that you get to be recognized as an awesome person and admired by your peers. (Srry, no prizes...)
11. NOTHING ABOVE PG-13! That means no threats, porn, excessive swearing, sexual content, etc.
12. It's a good idea to bookmark your favorite threads or they might get lost in all the other ones.
13. No page-stretching, flaming, trolling, godmodding, etc.
14. You do not have to be a member to post, but joining the guild is greatly appreciated. Joining raises our popularity, therefore more people will see it and want to post. And that equals FUN!
15. I reserve the right to make rules whenever I please. It is
your responsibility to abide by these rules and check back to see if new ones have been added. If you get in trouble and don't know why, chances are I added a new rule and you didn't see it.
