Sabuka, I would remind you that you only have 80 minutes before I go about asserting that you are not the author of the Enochian article.

But I am besides ill just start another one and maybe people will post what the subject is about. So this guild is for teaching then you people are doing a very crappy job of it.

It started with requesting you to cite your source. Then you go on asking how do we know that you didn't write that yourself. Even on Wiki, they cite their sources. You know the little [1]'s beside a sentence and then the source below that's the guide? So if even if it was you who wrote it on Wiki, you'd still need a source.
And plagarism is against the TOS. Which is Gaia's rules, which cover the whole site, including the guild. So they don't need to listed in the guild. You agreed to those rules in joining Gaia.

TOS #4;G

misrepresent the source, identity, or content of information transmitted via Gaia Online, (such as claiming a created work as your own that is not actually yours) or otherwise infringing any trademark, copyright, right of publicity or other right of any other person or entity

There, I even quoted it for you, so you don't have to go and look for yourself. I make things easy.

I didn't know, post rules or something.

Even if there isn't anything specific posted in the guild itself, when you signed up for Gaia you agree to abide by the Terms of Service...

4. Prohibited Conduct

-- BY USING GAIA ONLINE YOU AGREE not TO: misrepresent the source, identity, or content of information transmitted via Gaia Online, (such as claiming a created work as your own that is not actually yours) or otherwise infringing any trademark, copyright, right of publicity or other right of any other person or entity.

edit... I wasn't fast enough - Kage beat me too it. sweatdrop

Can we report him for that?
Like report him as a user, as opposed to reporting the post.

I believe that rule breaking in a guild must first be handled by the guild mods. They have control over their own guild. If they do not handle the violation, they may actually get in trouble for it also.

If it's a TOS violation, then it's reportable. Usually though if I see someone quoting something and I'm reasonably sure it's not theirs, I just remind them to cite their sources.

edit... yeah - guilds are kind of funny that way, they are more self policing than other areas of the site.

So go, wallow in your ignorance. Hopefully you'll attempt the lesser bindings of Solomon and get eaten by Vassago or something.
