Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rules:

These are the rules. There are some common rules for all guilds.

Edited May 15th, 2011: There is a new strike system, put in place after I realized that the guild is a place that I have grown to appreciate. If you break a rule, you get a strike. Three strikes, like baseball, you're out.

1: Follow the Gaia ToS at ALL COSTS. If you break the ToS, that's two strikes instead of the normal one strike.
2: No spamming/flaming. If you spam a thread, or are the only one posting in there, once every five minutes for an hour, that's one strike against you, unless you are simply updating a private thread. In this case, make it known in your first post that you are using it for private reasons.
3:No trolling. I don't care how 'fun' it is, it's annoying. This used to get an instant ban, but some people do it on occasion now, so it's not as bad as before. One strike.
4: Keep threads on topic. This was a rule back in the day (thought not as heavily enforced) and will remain within the guild to this day. If the thread was made for a reason, say to talk about a certain video game (Halo, for example), do NOT bring the Call of Duty feud into it UNLESS the thread creator took it there. That's a simple example.
5: No trapping. This is an instant 2 strikes, and a ban to the trapping account, to the offending parties.
If you are a guy, and you make a girl account to mess with another guy, making them think you're a girl, not only is that wrong, it's disgusting. If you are caught, and your identity found out, you will have 2 strikes on all known accounts, and the 'trapping account' will be banned instantly.
6: No antagonizing the moderators (crew, VC, Captain). Our job is to keep everything in order, and not to let anything go out of line. We do good for what little we have, and how little activity we have.
7: Don't lie. Not as much a rule as it is a simple suggestion. No one cares what the truth is about anything you have going on in your life, because chances are it won't get to anyone in anyway, but there are people who can try and help you out here.
