Ratings/ToS
* Keep it PG-13. We understand that some of us are older, but this isn't just the Guild's rule. It's in the Gaia ToS. It also makes everything better and easier for everyone.
* Cybering is not allowed on Gaia, therefore it is not allowed in this guild. Any cybering content or mention of cybering content being moved to somewhere else (including PMs) is prohibited from the guild. If you cannot refrain from following this rule, your thread will be locked and placed in the darkest depts of a black abyss which is being swallowed by a black hole.
* If you don't know what else is in the ToS, please click HERE. These are Gaia's rules, and if you break one of them, then you are definitely breaking the guild's rules.


Reading All Threads
* If you intend to join an RP, READ the creators' posts to see what they require.
* All threads will be checked by the Moderator to make sure they are within the rules. If your thread is questionable, I will PM you to let you know that you're cutting it pretty close.


Contacting for Help
* You are more likely to get faster results by PMing your questions, suggestions, and issues. I will also be checking this thread as often as I are on. However, if I happen to leave for a few days, I won't know until we return. Hence, PMing ensures a hasty response.
* If I'm unable to help you, or you simply want a second opinion, you can always ask another moderator. If you click on the "Guild Members" tab on the guild home page, you can see who is Crew.
* PLEASE PLEASE! Do NOT send PM's to the guild captain, KayKeyser. Eternally Gone is the moderator in charge. If you have issues of any kind, I am who you should be going to.


Making a Thread
* If you've created the same thread a few times and still dies, please stop remaking it. That just causes clutter.
* Plagiarizing: To use and pass off (the ideas or writings of another) as one's own (dictionary.com). It's illegal, don't do it. Seriously.
* When making a thread, please post a plot, setting, rules, and a profile skeleton if you require it.


Types of Threads
* This forum is for people who have events happening in real life and want to celebrate with their fellow Gaians, or just want to have fun. We also accept:
icon_arrow.gif All world wide holidays
icon_arrow.gif National holidays
icon_arrow.gif Local holidays
icon_arrow.gif Gaia online holidays' personal celebration events
icon_arrow.gif Guild events
icon_arrow.gif Guild anniversary parties
icon_arrow.gif Private parties
icon_arrow.gif Retelling of classic holiday related stories (the kind you see aired on TV in the holiday season).
icon_arrow.gif RPs that make use of popular holiday icons as playable characters
icon_arrow.gif Any RP set in a festive season
* We understand romance is probably an integral part of a thread for most people, but remember: nothing over the top, focusing solely on that. There is a Romance subforum as well.
* If you receive a message from a moderator saying that we've moved your thread to another subforum, it is YOUR responsibility to let the people in your thread know, not ours. It's not our fault you don't know what genre your thread goes in.


Number of Active Threads Allowed Per User
* 3. No more than that. 3 is a decent number of threads for 1 user to have in this subforum at any given time.


Deletion of Threads/Cleaning
* Threads that have passed this 2 month period of inactivity(like some really old threads in the back) will be deleted without notice.
* If an Announcement is put up with "Cleaning [date]," NO NEW THREADS ARE ALLOWED TO BE MADE. If new threads are made after that date, they will be locked until cleaning is done.


RESPECT
* FLAMING. It's simply not allowed. There's no reason for it. Just simply ignore the person, or bring your issues up with a moderator. Don't take the matters into your own hands. You're only adding fuel to the fire.
* We don't care if it's a moderator or not. If you are being a jerk, and we see that you are, you're getting a warning. That's not cool.
* You can yell at us, and get mad at us all you want for deleting/moving/fixing your thread, but if someone before hand tells you that your thread is in the wrong subforum, DON'T JUST IGNORE THEM. They're probably right.



* If you've read the rules, please post the emoticon shown below at the bottom of your thread's Rule List. All NEW threads (starting from 8.10.09) MUST have the emoticon in their thread, or your thread will be locked.
