Okay, this idea may seem a little bit silly at first but hear me out. I haven't seen anything like this implemented on the forums, and it may add to the "roleplaying experience" so it may be worth a try. At my school, we have what are called "SafeZones", which are businesses and/or organizations who wish to maintain a tolerant and safe atmosphere where people can be themselves, regardless of their sexuality or gender identity, without fear of discrimination. Essentially, an establishment that maintains itself as a "SafeZone" places a special sticker on their front door or window saying so. Since there seem to be so many minishops as well as role-playing bars/pubs/businesses within the Gaia Commerce forum, I figured we could make a SafeZone sticker of our own. The business would undergo a short application process, then attach the SafeZone banner (which also happens to link to our guild) to their first page, and in return we post their business within a list of SafeZone sponsors for their advertisement purposes. This way, we get our name out there while advertising their businesses and promoting an aware and respectful environment all at the same time. It's just a silly and random idea, but why not? Post your thoughts here, I'd be interested to hear what everyone has to say.

I like it! That's a great idea. Do you know who's going to make the stickers?

Thalassan is kind of busy right now, and I am terrible when it comes to art. I also have to leave for a class in a few minutes, so I can try to put something together when I get back I suppose. If anyone else wants to volunteer to make the stickers that would be great too.

i love the idea of the sticker, but I have not had to much luck with designing anything lately so i guess that I will let someone else do the sticker.

A lot of places just use a Pink and Rainbow Triangle. Our school wanted to put pink triangles on the doors of teachers who are participants or agree to be noticed as a SafeZone, but our leader was actually against it because it may then seem that the teachers who don't have one are homophobic, so we understood the reasoning.
But yeah, for a banner instead or something, we should have the pink or rainbow triangle so that whenever we post somewhere, people who've never had someone to talk to can regocgnize the symbol,a nd if needed, can always talk to one of us.

That sounds like a great idea! It's possible no one would agree, but it's definitely worth a shot. I might be able to make a banner, but probably not 'cause my drawing program keeps crashing lately.

Okay awesome. I am...not the most artistic person in the world and my finals are coming up soon so I may not have time to work on this right now. Once next week is over, however, I'll try to keep working on these new projects and such for the guild. smile
