1. Follow the Gaia TOS.
2. This is only for serious, reality based discussions and debates.
3. If you lose an argument, try to lose with grace. The discussion is not about who is right or wrong. Its about enjoying a (hopefully) exciting discussion among friends. Yelling and getting mad won't help you do that. Plus, we might have to kick you from the forum or the guild, depending on the severity of the situation.
4. Absolutely NO racism, sexism, etc... will be tolerated. Statements like: "Women should get back in the kitchen where they belong." , "Damn nig@#$..", "What a stupid f**#@t.", etc... fall into this category. Its fine if you're debating something like 'Does having a working mother affect their children in negative ways?" to say something like: "Having a stay at home mother is better for a child so they receive adequate emotional support as they grow up." and perhaps an explanation of what you mean by that. (See the difference?) Breaking this rule earns you a one way ticket out of this guild.
5. Everyone has a right to an opinion. Respect that.
