1)No discriminating. Easy as that. Age, color, sex, race, denomination and whatnot, all is welcome here and should feel like it. Trust me, you can argue and fight with people without having to pull any of those factors in (in fact Gaians, if you can, kudos XD).
Now, seeing as how this a somewhat a religious based forum (or at least a theometaphysical
2)No posts that are lewd or horrifically violent. By this I mean try to keep things at least a little more pg-13 to semi R rated. Seeing as how nearly everyones desensitized to everything these days, and that many nature-based systems are based off of sexuality, I'm not going to kick people for talking about sex or bloody/gorey things. I just ask that these subjects be approached with a level of maturity, and never used as an attack. If you're older, remember that we've got people on this site quite a few years younger than you. If you're younger, trust me, posting like that says alot about your character (as a person, not a...you get me), and it's not a habit you want to get into. talk2hand
3)No antagonizing people. Leave that to the moderators...We'll handle all disciplinary actions, there is no need for members to get involved past that. If you have a serious issue with any other member on here, message a moderator and we'll look into it/deal with it.
4)No flaming. You shouldn't anyways. It really should go without saying but...you know how things go...Ranting is welcome, but make sure its not offensive.
5)No spell begging.
6) And this is a huge rule/request, type NORMAL. None of those shorthand stuff that no one can understand. I expect full...ok, mostly full sentences or phrases, that are coherent. If there are more than 2 words in your fragment that are shorthand, or involve numbers, it WILL get deleted.
Seriously, just type crap out. It looks and sounds SO much more intelligent.
Oh, and no l33t speak. Its just obnoxious...
7)While no one is here to tell you whats right or whats wrong (ha...), please keep in mind that pagan practices, witchcraft, and all its related studies are NOT like the media portrays. If you're on here looking for ways to zap things or make em float or whatnot, leave. IT AINT REAL PEOPLE.
8 ) Typing in all CAPITALS (like I just did up there sweatdrop ), is prohibited. None of this "Yelling" stuff. However, sometimes the need arises. A few posts or lines in all Caps will be permitted, but if it becomes a tred, the posts will be erased.
*If you manage to get in trouble*
-You get three warnings. Your first is a slap on the wrist, knock it off...
-Get a second and your posts will be heavily monitored
-A third will get you possibly kicked out of the guild without question.
All incidents will be reviewed by the Captain and the Vice Captain, and their decisions final. You may repeal, but we probably wont listen. If you're kicked out of the guild, you deserve it cause it's gonna take something seriously messed up for you to get kicked out. We're lenient to an extent, don't take that for granted.
*To be a Crew Member*
-You must contribute to the guild in some positive manner. We suggest helpful and/or insightful posts. DONATIONS ARE NOT ENOUGH, THOUGH QUITE WELCOME!
-If you're not approached to be one, and you want to be, write to either the Vice Captain or the Captain, and we'll look into it. Tell us why you think you should be part of the crew, and what you would like to do to help, and if its all good enough, poof, your wish is granted.
*Things to keep in mind*
-Just to keep things a little clearer, the Captain will ALWAYS post in indigo, never ask for your Gaia info, or gold (and neither should anyone else). It'd be nice if the Vice Captain could post in whichever color he likes, and the Crew members stick to a color scheme as well. Of course, people are prolly post in whatever color they want, no ones really going to stop them...people will be people blah blah, its just recommended, to keep things straight.
-If you wanna promote the guild, thanks! However, don't go around blasting our guild, or beg people to join. We have a reputation to uphold here...anyways, posting our banner, asking interested people to check us out, or dropping our name in a peaceful manner is welcome. smile
-BRIBERY IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED, BUT WE WONT COMPLETELY REFUSE THE MONEY... mrgreen What can we say...moneys shiny and fun to play with...
Any comments, questions, concerns, ect, message the higher ups.
