Welcome to Gaia! ::

First of all, if you do not read the rules, you are still bound by them. "I didn't read the rules" is NOT an excuse for not abiding by them. I will be using a moderating system based on the severity of breaking a rule. This will be noted below. But, for this post, the rules themselves:

-No cybering.
-No spamming.
-No flaming.
-No trolling.
-Treat each other with basic respect. If everyone can present their opinion in a civilized manner and take differences in opinions with a pinch of salt, we will not have problems. Please try to be forgiving and cordial before getting a moderator to step in.
-If a problem gets out of hand, PLEASE contact a mod. I will keep a list of mods for each forum right here as a sticky, so you can always find it. I will have mods for each forum.
-Your word is not universal fact. Everyone has a right to an opinion, and you must all respect those rights.
-Please try to see if your topic has been addressed already before posting something. Of course, if there are forty pages in a topic or forum, I do not expect you to go wading through them all. But please try to keep the repeat threads down.
-Literacy, people!! You all passed third grade, am I right?! If I see chatspeak, you get one warning, and then I ban you. End of story. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but please, no chatspeak. It drives us all nuts.
-These rules apply to everyone. EVERYONE. Follow them.
-These rules are subject to change or be added on to. I will edit the title of the topic when there is a change, but do please keep an eye on it.
