Welcome to Gaia! ::

[1.] :: Respect. Respect the Staff and Captain and Vice-Captain of the N00b Adoption Agency. They are here for you and to maintain the forums and help out with the members of this forum. Respect the other members of the forum, whether new or old. If they say something that offends you, ask them to please stop it; don't yell at them and potentially make the situation worse.

[2.] :: Judgment. In correspondence with Rule #1, we ask that you use correct judgment during your stay in the NAA and on Gaia as well. If you know something could in any way offend someone, we ask that you do not post it and instead use a word that isn't offensive, though can still get the message your saying across. Swearing is fine, just not in excess and in every single sentence you use.

[3.] :: Posting. We ask that when typing a response to make things legible and easy to understand. We do not expect full grammar sentences. We would how ever prefer you do not type in Leet Speak(l337 sp34k) because not everyone can decipher that. Please, just make sure everyone can understand what your saying. Do not over-abuse the Emotions either. No one wants to see 4 smiley faces in a row; we get the point that you're happy with just one. Along with posting, do not page stretch. If you accidentally stretch the page, that's fine; please just go back and edit your post so that it doesn't anymore.

[4.] :: Do not mess with the Staff. If one of the staff here, whether AAN, myself, or some other staff member moves a thread, deletes a post, or does something you don't like, do not PM them and b***h at them. You MAY however, kindly ask them why they did what they did. If what the staff member did affected your post or thread, you should receive a PM stating why they did what they did anyways. If a Staff Member, however, abuses their power contact AAN or myself. Do not contact another staff member as this is a matter that only the Captain and Vice-Captain can deal with.

[5.] :: No Cybering, at all. This is a huge, giant, no-no here, and anywhere on Gaia. If you post a thread concerning this you will be booted from the thread and your topic deleted. You will also be reported to a Gaia Moderator for termination of your account and an IP ban to follow. Cybering is tolerated no where on Gaia, and if that's what you're here for, I suggest hitting up a dating site or a forum made for cybering. This is a community built around PG-13, not NC-17 or R.

[6.] :: Do not Spam. Do not spam randomly to advertise your thread or to promote something. Place it in your signature and if the person would like to visit your thread of that persons own accord, then the person will. The only place you are allowed to spam with no limitations is in the Mini-Chatterbox. This is the only place where this is permitted, so spam to your hearts content there.

[7.] :: Do. Not. Beg. By any means, do not beg. If there's an item you want, make a quest for it, and post it in the quest forum. You will have a better chance of getting a donor there. Any begging posts or threads will either be deleted or moved to the trash bin. Also, check the Events forum whenever its open. Whenever the event forum is open, we will most likely be giving away freebies.

[8.] :: Never scam. EVER. The majority of our moderators are Gaia regulars and long time posters. If you at any point try to scam ANYONE in this guild, we will issue an auto-ban, without warning, and immediately report you to a Gaia Moderator. From there, you can answer to them.
