Here is what we use for my rp club, I tailored it to the guild. Feel free to adjust it and use it as you wish if you wish to use it.


We will conduct ourselves at all times in order to be a credit to our guild by obeying the following:

Section 1: Out Of Character Rules

1. Abide by the rules of Gaia Online.
2. Out of character confrontation is not permitted.
3. Show respect for the rights of others and be courteous while out of character.
4. Demonstrate sportsmanship in contests, events and meetings.
5. Be modest in victory and generous in defeat.
6. Meet posting requirements for length, content, and rules.
7. Take pride in our guild.
8. Share with others experiences and knowledge about the RP.
9. Strive to establish and enhance one’s social skills through role-playing
10. Appreciate and promote diversity in our guild
11. Maintain a clear separation between in and out of game
12. Conspiring against the guild, its crew, or members is prohibited.
13. Breaking these rules shall be followed up by the guild disciplinary procedure.
14. Depending on the severity it might be brought up to the Gaia Moderators.


Section 2: In Character Rules.

1. Gaia Online and Guild Rules still apply.

2. Participants and members are in character in all designated subforums.

3. Out of character participants and members should not disturb in character participants and members.

4. Parentheses may be used to symbolize Out of Character actions and comments.

5. Members are not allowed to have unwanted or unwarranted contact in character. Contact is considered unwarranted when it either offends or makes someone uncomfortable.

6. No Meta-gaming, which would be using plot devices and information that they know about others characters, that they only know out of game, in game.

7. No God Modding- No character is perfect, that is what makes roleplaying interesting. Not everyone will have every power, each character should be fair and believeable. Conceeding to another character in combat has to happen once in a while. Its a give and take relationship.

8. Storytellers have final decisions in character approval, disapproval and calls on disputes between characters.

9. Cheating (meta-gaming, character alteration, random power fabrication, etc.) is not permitted.

10. In Character harassment, which is attacking people I character because of who they are out of character, is prohibited.
11. Players should be striving to move the storyline and plot with their posts rather than just worrying about making their character the best.

12. Have Fun. Even though characters may argue and have disputes, remember it is technically just a roleplay story. Don't let the serious themes or conflicts affect you out of character.

Article VII: Disciplinary Procedure

Section 1: Disciplinary Procedure is as follows and can be done out of order depending on the severity if the offenses or if the consequential behavior is repeated and may progress to prolonged or permanent probation or banned status
