Hi. Failure to comply with these rules will result in banning from this guild. Yay!

1. NO FLAMING. EVER. If you flame, I keeeeeel you.

2. If you post a story/poem/fanfiction here and someone gives you a really harsh review: live with it. Or, in your first post, say how harsh you want the reviews to be.

3. No bumping allowed.

4. Don't post/do anything in here that breaks Gaian rules. If you do, the guild gets closed. You horrid people.

5. Yes, OOC threads are allowed, but try to keep them to a minimum.

6. There is no rule 6.

7. Be respectful at all times. If someone flames you, instead of flaming them back you should take the high ground and just wait for them to be banned for violating rule #1.

8. Got a problem with someone else? Take it to PM.

9. Netspeak/chatspeak...you may use it. Now, this is probably going to be an unpopular rule, but as long as you make some sense, there's no problem with netspeak/chatspeak.

10. I am Bane.

11. If you ask to become a mod, I will smite you. Our mods have been chosen, thank you very much.

12. Remember, harsh reviews do not equal flames.

Wow! Rule #9 is such a GREAT idea! Yes, freedom of speech is IMPORTANT to Jahoclave. Yes, indeed. Boy howdy.

There's no need. If they post a story or poem in pink or something just tell people you can't read it and ask them to change it. If they make a regular post in pink, just highlight it with your mouse. People have every right to use silly colours when they're posting, just as you can use small font.

Every little edit you make bane only leads you closer to hell. And I've got my hands in all the available real estate. So you better start being nice or else you'll find yourself needing to take out a second morgage on your soul.

I was wondering...should we try to get some kind of policy up where if you post a piece of writing, you should try to also comment on others (I know it should be common sense, but this IS Gaia after all). Maybe not a rule, but sort of a "common courtesy" policy that is just made note of so people'd be aware of it.

I like that idea but I don't think I can add any rules/policies until I speak with Bane, and, because he's currently on a three week vacation, that might be tricky. Hopefully I'll see him online before then and I'll mention this.

Whee. Hotel in Russel has High Speed Internet.

Clarion: That's a most excellent rule. Implement it, Hemp. Or I kill you! surprised
