Discuss what Omnileech is saying here. Discuss the poll. Discuss contests and where they belong. Omnileech So it's ok for the mods to break their own rules now? Contests don't go here of course. For people who are supposed to enforce the rules they're not setting a fine example. Alarias These are guild events...which is why I put them in the announcements. These aren't typical contests, but your complaint is noted and I will discuss this with the other mods to see if they should be moved or if they count as an exception to the rule. NeoChibi-Chan Omnileech NeoChibi-Chan Omnileech Oh really? Then why was my "You laugh you lose" thread moved to the game thread? I was under the impression that all games fell in that forum seeing as we have no games at all within the past 6 pages of the guild and I'm willing to wager I won't find any if I go back further. Either follow your rules or abolish them. You don't build credibility when you're subjective with how you enforce them. So basically... This is a vendetta because YOUR game got moved? It's an example, not the reason for this thread. I don't care that my thread was moved. It caused it to die but oh well, it was just a stupid thread. But my example is evidence of the staff here moving my thread without justification if you go by the reasoning that only roleplays and word games are required to be in the game thread. Or how about that time in the phunkey thread when there was a meltdown including a member of the staff who called someone a c**t? Did he get banned from the guild for breaking the #1 rule in the guild? He wasn't. Did he get removed from staff? No. Rules made to be broken when the staff decides when to break them isn't fair. We're all equal but some of us are more equal than others it seems. Yeah, but the staff also lenient towards members of the guild. What about the guy who was trolling, for example saying "The only mental disorder that counts is schizophrenia, the others don't count." "there is nothing good with japan" etc. He insulted alot of people publically, and ridiculed them. But the staff still gave him a few chances... Was that wrong? No, everyone deserves a second chance. The holidays events/games, are always stickied on the front page or they are posted, and the sticky has a link to them, even user made holiday events/games... like the christmas tree Undaki did at christmas.

When Omni was saying in the Egg Coloring Contest, to clarify... wink
Anyway, maybe I'm just a bad, blind crew member...but isn't the subforum just for RPs and Games? Not contests also...?
Omni states he had a thread moved into that subforum. In his thread, Ala asked if it were a game, someone responded that it was and Omni made no post saying otherwise. The thread has no mention of contestants, winners or beginning and end dates...all items that contest usually tend to have. His thread deems no room for discussion and just exists for posting funny pictures in. I really fail to see how it's not a game like all the others in the Games subforum. Thus, I feel it belongs there.
I also feel that since our Guild Event are actual contests, that will soon conclude and be disgarded. Therefore, them being placed in the main forum is perfectly acceptable.
If someone could please show me where it's stated that contests are not allowed in the main forum...?

My opionion on this thread.
Not good at all. Omni has a right to what she is saying and I can see both sides of the argument and am not on anyones side.
I think that this thread should be locked because it will just cause a masive war. Another one.
If you want to discuss it do so through pm's or another method. This to me is just a way to cause a huge heated debate.

There already is an argument, but it's taking place in the event thread, I just want the discussion to be moved out of there.

Why are you then trying to join in on the action? The argument is about that thread and can be in that thread.

The argument is about all three guild events. It takes away and distracts other users and may hurt the participation. I want to maximize guild participation in the festivities.

Somehow I doubt that's your only motive.
If another thread was needed someone in the argument would have made it.

I don't see this being a massive war. I'm interested to know what the members think about where guild events should take place, if at all.

I would like to point out how Gaia's own contests are not listed under Games, but under Community. This fact by itself shows how contests differ from games or at least that is how Gaia interpreted it. egg

Large_Inmate I do not believe the argument should be taking place in any of those threads, it needs to be moved away. How would you feel if you clicked on a Gaian Event thread and just found people arguing about whatever? The event threads should be places of joy and happiness, ideally. Plus here, we can address the issue of contests better and in a more appropriate thread.

Then you did not have to make it seem like someone is the "bad" person. Simply ask where people think guild events should be. Don't go bringing others into it if they are already debating it without asking.
There was no need to say discuss what Omni is saying but rather ask a question to the guild and see where they stand.

There's even the Games subforum on Gaia...which also contains no contests.
I can understand how the two terms are the same. But in what we, in online forums, define as games and contests tends to differ.
Large_Inmate Somehow I doubt that's your only motive.
Somehow I don't think the mods are as devious as some may think we are....
Omni was making his arguement in a thread that's subject was the coloring of an egg, not where the location of the thread should be. Thus, an appropriate thread was made. By making the thread, we'll be able to take in peoples views completely without distractions of eggs and more people will notice it because it's labeled to its subject matter.

I agree with Jaft on this; when Gaia has its "event" occurances, it's all over the main pages, not pigeonholed in the "games" subforum of the site. Sorry, Omni.

The question you need to ask is "Is this a Contest or a Game". Contest are allowed to be in the main forum, games are not. The thread dose not have a prize, deadline, and rules so it is a games. Therefor it should go into the games sub forum.
It is cut and dry, the mods wanting on the main page should not matter. They are held (or should be) to a tighter set of rules then us. They cannot circumnavigate their own rules by agreeing it can stay. You either enforce all the rules to everyone of none at all.
This is not the rest of Gaia their way of doing things do not apply here. Unless you want me to get GD with it
