Welcome to Gaia! ::

Don't know specifically outside of some former disgruntled members and lurking mules.

I don't think you should let this intimidate you or any one else from participating in EDP. Why let them have the satisfaction of chasing people off? Don't let these twits define the paradigm. We are ascendent in power politically, why should we back down from them on an anime discussion forum?

They might get bored but they would also get rather smug about it (the last thing their ego needs is more inflating). Us leaving would only make things easier for them. I say spite them and continue to make their existance in EDP a challange and a chore. I'm not going to let them off the hook so easy.

We just need to use this an example of making sure we don't say things that can be used by others regardless of where we post it. I think its good advice to live by anyways.

i honestly dont care

i have nothing to hide, so why should we care if people read our quotes

i encourage people to come to the guild just so they can see what we are about

That is an incredibly bad idea.

I don't want to catch anyone hacking or encouraging hacking or any other violation of the rules or terms of service of Gaia. I've already removed one person for behavior which can be consitered violations of Gaia's rules and TOS. Pimpkilla, any more behavior like this and you are out of here. You have repeatedly gotten your accounts banned (I've lost track of the number of accounts you have had) and frankly it is embarrassing.

What I want you to do is follow the rules and not encourage others to break the rules.

well, I dont really know who the spy is, nor do I really care. I've never really had anything I've needed to hide from anybody, and if they want to take any of my posts from here and slap them on some message board, thats fine with me.

And Pimpkilla2, even mentioning hacking is bad for your rep (and if you haven't noticed, Shem has already cought that post...along with accusing Kazuma of allowing it if I recall correctly, which hurts our rep)

Kazuma, I'd like to make a suggestion, though I really hate the Idea, because it would be limiting who joins or not, but I suggest an essay much like the liberals guild. That should eliminate some of the less reputable people from being allowed in (once again, I hate the idea of limiting things such as membership to this guild, but I see it as one way to dissolve the problem) Also, I'd advise getting rid of those who are relentlessly insulting, or at least at this point warn them that they will be banned if they incite another incident of this nature. Thurdly, that the staff starts deleting things of offencive nature when and if they do occur, since if we do that, quite apperently, they'll have no problem.

That is, if you want to be seen as semi-respectible in their eyes...if that is at all possible...though I know some don't really care to.

I support that idea a great deal. As a matter of fact I think it should be implemented as soon as possible. An essay on conservatism? Simple.

I was quoted twice. They really failed misreably in making me look stupid with the use of my quotes. The ED-P is a wonderous place isn't rolleyes

If you all as a guild would like to have one I would support it. I have no complaints and I think it could be a positve thing. I would be curious to see what sort of suggestions and ideas the members of the guild have to formulating one.

This will probably not eliminate the mule problem though. They will simply write more elaborate join requests to get in. Nor will it get rid of the ones that are already here. I think the issue of mules in the guild is just something we are going to have to learn to live with.
