I am using the rules and guidelines from the Welcome to Gaia! Rules and Guidelines
IF YOU EDIT OTHER PEOPLES POSTS THEN YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM MY GUILD! EDITING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! It is immature. So because of the post editor I decided to take everyone off crew until someone admits to this!
Official General Rules
* No Flaming/Trolling/Harrassing. This means that you are not allowed to post hateful, racist, abusive or harassing remarks. GAIA is a community and we all need to treat each other fairly and with respect.
* Cyber/Porn/Explicit Images:
GAIA is a PG-13 site, so any sexual content, explicit or graphics images or cybering (roleplay or description of sexual acts) is not permitted ANYWHERE on GAIA. Especially not my guild!
* No Spamming:
Spamming is when you go into a thread and post gibberish, nonsense or something that has no relevance to the topic. Spam belongs in the chatterbox and reported spamming can get your account banned, so don't do it outside of the chatterbox.
* Chain letters:
These are a huge no-no. Any post/letter where it encourages you to "pass it on to your friends" or "send this to everyone or we will delete you account" is considered a chain letter and is not allowed on GAIA. Posting chain letters will get your posts deleted and a warning on your account. Repeated posting of chain letters can get you banned.
* Copy/Paste Posts:
These are posts that you copy and paste over and over in threads. These are considered spam and constantly posting them after being warned can result in a ban on your account. Take the time to type out unique responses to the various threads you visit. It shows that you care!
* Spamming/Bumping
Bump stands for Bring Up My Post. When you post in a thread, it essentially "brings that thread to the top of the forum page". The further up on the page your topic appears, the more likely people are to see it. So when someone says "bump" they are just wanting to bring that thread back up to the top of the page. Be careful when bumping. Most forums do not allow it or only allow it in certain circumstances. In the Welcome forum, you can only bump a thread if it is a question and it has fallen off the first page without being answered.
* Stretching the page:
Do not post overly long messages or overly large images that "stretch" the page. It interrupts conversation and makes it difficult to read and discuss things in a thread when you have to scroll over to see the rest of the message. These kinds of posts are against the Terms or Service and will be deleted by a member of the GAIA moderator team. You can also be warned or banned for repeated offenses.
And with one last note... Feel free to create a topic of your own. blaugh
