Alright, so we're due for an update here. So here we go.

╔═════════════╗
̤̥̣̣̣̣̤̥̣̣̣̤̥̣̣̤̥̣̤̥*DA RULES*̤̥̤̥̣̤̥̣̣̤̥̣̣̣̤̥̣̣̣̣
╚═════════════╝


heart Follow Gaia's ToS and rules and guidelines. The Terms of Service. Y'know, the little box you clicked on to claim you read it when you signed up for this site? Yeah, that one.

Particularly the section with prohibited conduct. Yeah, we don't want that in here either. That stuff will get you banned from the site if not from just the guild itself.



heart Keep things PG-13 here.

Which means no explicit graphic depictions of violence, gore, sexual material, and generally other traumatizing s**t you wouldn't show to a pre-teen with their helicopter parents. You can still do cool fights and stuff, but don't go overboard with those details.


heart Unfortunately, the NSFW or steamy intimate stuff isn't really allowed on Gaia Online as per their ToS. Flirting and PDA is fine, but don't get too sloppy with the sloppy make-outs, yeah?


heart For the love of all things in existence, sacred or not, DO NOT GODMOD.

It's more of a courtesy for other members in the thread. You don't need to power play. You don't need to hog all the spotlight. You don't need to take over someone else's characters. You most definitely shouldn't ignore the input of other people in the same thread.



heart Don't go Absent WithOut Notice (AWON). Or ghost in the middle of an rp thread.

It's not just annoying, it's rude. If you do that in an rp thread, especially in a plot-heavy situation, you might've just killed the thread. Thanks /s


heart Read the rules of the thread. Think of them as house rules for that particular thread.

Gaia's Rules and Guidelines, the ToS, and the guild's rules still apply. It's just that some of us like things done differently, whether it be fight mechanics, posting order or world-building logic.


heart Please put threads where they're supposed to be. Let's try to be organized so people can find the right threads.

Literates in Literate RP, profiles in Profiles, OOCs/chat RPs/illiterate go to the spam box.



heart Be kind. Be courteous. And don't be an a*****e.

The world has enough of those recently.


wahmbulance Listen, I'm dropping the 4-strike ban rule. wahmbulance
I might PM you on the first offense, depending on how minor it is. Otherwise, you're out.

-Resources for Cool Text Formating-

Some of these might be old, but they still have some useful stuff.


@@@@@

The Ultimate Text Color Code Guide

If you ever wanted to see examples of what kind of colors are available to use on Gaia. It's not limited to this list, if you have a valid hexcode, you can slap it in where the color name is.

Example:
[color=red]Eeeyo, what am I looking at?[/color]

Eeeyo, what am I looking at?

[color=#E0427F]Eeeyo, what am I looking at?[/color]

Eeeyo, what am I looking at?

@@@@@

Stuff by David - BBCode & HMTL Text Colorizer

So now that you know how to plug in colors, let's look at some gradients! Don't worry, all you really need to do is copy-paste the BBCode. Just be warned that there is a character limit per post. I unfortunately do not remember what it was, but I remember hitting it a few times some time ago.

@@@@@

Patorjk - Text Color Fader

But why have only one option when there's more!? Just remember to switch the output code to standard forum code. It doesn't say BBCode here for some reason.

@@@@@

LingoJam

𝕊𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕥𝕠 𝕕𝕠 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕗𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕪 𝕗𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕤?
ₒᵣ ₛₒₘₑₜₕᵢₙg ₖᵢₙdₐ wₐcₖy?

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Maybe something cute? ♥

There's a bunch of different font translators in there. Go ahead and check them out, maybe you'll find something to use as inspo for a thread or a piece of world-building.

@@@@@

The Ultimate BBCoding Resource

So you want to use more stuff than what the emoji menu on Windows can give you with this shortcut?
Windows + .

This guild has you covered. It's a nice resource to copy/paste from. It's also got some ideas you can use for formatting.

@@@@@

Cool Symbols & Fonts

There's some more of those fancy symbols and fonts in here as well. As well as some text decorations.

@@@@@

Emojicombos - Decoration Emojis & Text

More decorations to scroll through!

-Continued Resource List-


BBCode.org - How to Use BBCode: A Complete Guide


If you want to dive deeper into the world of BBCode to really make your posts' format fancy (and organized), check this out. They even have a list of syntax you can look over and try on Gaia.

Now, as a disclaimer, not all syntaxes will work on Gaia. You have to test them out to find out which version of the syntax will work here.
