What is this Guild about?
This is a guild of anything you can think of. From latest news to music, you can post pretty much anything you want in the main forum of Animanium Polls guild. Everything but spam is not allowed here. Every post must have words that coincide with what the thread is about. Posting just pictures and smilies are not allowed for it is considered to be spam. But don't fear we have a dedicated sub-forum for that.
Captain: Persephone Lilac
Vice Captain: Kira Kira Sama
Moderators: Eikouden, Key the Thief, SaturnWonder, D Vious, iRonnie, Hero of Three Kingdoms, Second_Crimson, and Silver Were Wolf
What are the Sub-forums?
We have 7 sub-forums.
Spammers Heaven: This is the place where you can spam it
up as much as you want. Fool around with posts and what not.
Make senseless topics and nothing or anything.
This is the one place where you can post anything you want
as long as it is in ToS of Gaia as a whole.
No pornographic pictures or anything of that nature.
Moderators: Eikouden and Persephone Lilac
High Council of APG: This is for Crew only. Anything that needs to be changed or handeled usually gets placed there.
Thread Retirement Home: We laughed, we cryed,
we remembered, this is where all that goes and more.
Locked threads and drama is all right there most of time unless it was deleted.
Art is music: Display you love fore music, keep a list of
songs you know and love, log your musi tastes so that everyone can hear.
Show us your art, make yourself a shop,
show us what you have to offer in music and art!
Moderators: Persephone Lilac
Role Playing is Story telling: Lets make a story where everyone is invited.
Have poetry? Have stories? Do you like to make your own RPG?
Then come join the fun and make yourself heard!
Moderators: Kira Kira Sama
Thread Penitentiary You've been a bad bad topic!
It's the slammer for you! Any topics that've been controversial,
went against guild rules and almost brought a war between members,
are placed here. This is also for Crew Only
Theater is Playing What light does yonder window break?
It's the forum for those with a love for theater, plays, acting, and the like!
So if you're a fan of these check it out!
Moderators: Key the Thief
---------------------------------------------------------
So, Why was I invited?
Persephone Lilac loves to go to the "Welcome to Gaia" forum and invite many new members from there. As you would think it's random it acutally isn't, based on one post she can tell if this is something you would like being a new member to Gaia and not sure what to do. We also have an invite thread where people post their friends to come join the guild.
How does this guild work?
We have 7 subforums like I said. The main forum is for chatting about. Getting to know each other a little better and make jokes or friends. Depending what you like there is a forum for anything pretty much. The golden rule though is to make sure you have a poll in each thread.

Rules and Ways of the APG GuildQuote: 1. This is a POLLS Guild as well as what is included in the subforums. In each thread made in here, THERE HAS TO BE A POLL. We won't be mean, and yell at you for not having one to begin with, sometimes Gaia is glitchy and it doesn't put poll up when you know you did, what can we say? Le poop happens. Members who scream at other members for being poll less will be warned too. It’s not nice.
2. We have an OFFICIAL THREAD for BUMPING. So please don't make any bump threads. Any bump threads made will be locked and deleted within three days and you will be kindly warned. You can bump your threads if it is something you want people to answer to and or post in or informing them about something. After a day you need to stop bumping it. ONLY BUMP and only IF it falls off the FIRST PAGE. You'll get warned if you are spamming for the hell of it. Spamming = posting just to post in which it does not contribute to the topic at hand. Posting pictures that say bump is SPAMMING... and BUMPING. Also, if you are going to show off pictures, don’t just show them without a brief and clear understanding that you are posting your pictures to see what people think, whether they are edits you have done and or pictures you made by hand or computer as well as pictures in general. Common sense is a must if you think you can get away with just posting whatever you deem fit.
3. You CAN have RATE ME, AVATAR CONTEST, QUESTING threads in the Guild. You can also bump in them as well to keep it up. Again, only if it falls off the first page.
4. Please DO NOT "BUMP" in threads older than a month. UNLESS it is useful to the discussion at hand. DOING this will lock the thread, if it's bumped. We don't want old threads being revived because it will ruin the sync of new threads. Ok ok, now that there is a seperate forum SPAMMER HEAVEN this rule can't apply to a fast--er moving forum. This is where people just make threads on and on and on and on. Don't bring back old threads from pages 2 and so on back to page 1. Which means no bumping old thread that have been there 3 hours or more. Honestly you gain more gold when you MAKE the thread and take the POLL you made.
5. YES, you can spam up the guild for gold, that is why I made it, but please do NOT SPAM the OFFICIAL threads. Doing this will only get you banned from the Guild and I don't want that. Do not go into threads having the words "OFFICIAL" if all you want to do is spam and not help the discussion. SPAM elsewhere to gain gold.
This also includes double posting. Please try to refrain from that, just go
back and edit the previous post. If someone passes by it w/o seeing it,
it's okay to quote yourself but give it time.
More questions? Refer to this topic:
Ask one of the Forum Moderators and the VC Kira.
6. There is ABSOLUTELY NO:
- Violation the Terms of Service of Gaia
- Fighting
- Harassing
- HATE THREADS
- PORN THREADS
Everything else is ok as long as it follows the T.o.S. of Gaia.
7. Yes you CAN have REPEATED threads UNLESS there is an OFFICIAL thread about it. If you make one and there was already an OFFICIAL thread about it, then it will be deleted, and we will give you the link the OFFICIAL thread.
8. Please read the updates for the guild to know what is coming up. Also, read who the crew members are. Read the stickies. If you have a Question about the Rules, PM a crew member or me about it, and we will gladly answer it. Just be sure you include "Guild Question" as the PM SUBJECT, otherwise it might be accidently erased or ignored.
Foremost if anyone, member or not, have any questions or concerns please contact the guild captain and or vice captain.
9. Don't be a jerk to people. If you start heckling people you will upset them, and if you know dang well you are annoying them-- stop or I will ban you. We all have shitty days, but atleast we don't take it out on each other, watch what you say and who you say it to. It's ok to say you had a shitty day, and make a thread about it, but don't take it out on people. If by chance that person is in the guild: take it to Private Messages, don't post it in the guild when you KNOW THEY CAN AND WILL READ IT. Also please be kind to people of all causes. Just because they post in your thread and they do not even understand what is happening does not mean you should be rude and say "why do you bother posting?" or anything of that nature. Telling people to leave a thread is unwanted too. Be nice. Treat these people as you would treat yourself.
10. NOT EVERYONE has the chance to see things such as movies or anime episodes or even manga online, if you know there is a spoiler of any kind in there--- WHITE IT OUT. Don't make me do your job for you. Also, PLEASE for the love of tatter tots put a disclaimer of SPOILERS in your title of your thread.
11. This is MY guild and I am able to do what I can do to keep it in check with the X amount of members here. Gaia admins nor moderators are in control of Guilds, only us. All they can do is shut down the guild in amends that "they fixed it". In saying this: WE CAN BAN, WE CAN DELETE, WE CAN REPORT-- WHEN NEEDED. If it doesn't seem right or fair that one of the other crew members banned you from here: PLEASE private message me about it, no one else since no one else can do anything. Kira is vice, if I'm not around, and she is, please contact her.
12. Respect the Capt, Vice, and the Mods Yeah Moderators RESPECT members and VICE VERSA you don't have to like them but you can respect them equally as if you did. Don't talk to them if you don't like them, it makes life simpler. Quote: Harrassing is against ToS smile And this is what I will do to those who do it smile Pomiscuous Skittles IF anyone is caught harrassing members in MY GUILD i.e. TELLING THEM to "Piss off" "quit the guild" "go die" You will be banned from Gaia. This is against the Terms of Service on Gaia and I will not hesitate to report you a** to Omnimods of Gaia as well as any other mods and YOU WILL GET BANNED.
You want to try me? Do it! I'm not afraid to report anyone for harrasment.
This is a sick joke to hurt people then stop it unless you want to lose your s**t on your avatar. Quote: CREW MEMBER RULES:Mods have rules too, so does a captain, if members of this guild see that a mod is breaking a rule of this guild or of the Terms of Service here on Gaia, report it If the offense is of Gaia ToS then report to an omnimod such as the ones, don't use the report system if you are not sure. Private message a Gaian Mod about it.These are the rules crew members of this guild must follow please don't break any of the rules. And I will love you forever, nuff said.Don't Flame Members It's not nice even if they are newcommers and they aren't completely aware of alot of things.Don't be rude about missing polls- You must have calmness and not get into a fit about threads without polls. Gaia eats them and it's not their fault. Or they forgot, kindly remind them in a post that they need a poll. If they don't have one when you come back to check on it- then add one. Don't use the "I'm so dumb I forgot a poll" either.Don't delete threads - Please don't I want to see why you locked the thread UNLESS it had broken a serious rule in the ToS such as pornographic images, or things of that sort-- then by all means delete it to prevent other people from looking at it. Captain is in charge of thread deleting. Just lock the thread and I will look at it and see if it needs to be deleted or not. Do not never ever delete, lock, or move someone elses threads because so and so said. It's not their thread. Don't delete posts, unless it is absolutely necessary, or editing for that matter.Banning members Please only ban members if they do not respect the rules of Gaia and this guild and it shows that they simply can not get along. Getting banned from this guild is not very easy because we are nice people, but please don't take advantage of that.Give them a warning and if they don't follow and change how they act then ban them, if I am not on please report the person you banned and the reason along with the thread still intact. The majority of locked threads go to the Retirement thread subforum.
Locking threads Please post the reason you locked it, and don't un-lock it unless you made a mistake, or the matter has been cleared up. When locking a thread, tell the thread holder why you locked it and if she/he has further questions to PM you instead of making another thread asking why the thread was locked.
Stickies and Announcements Make one if it is really needed, and if it has anything to do with Rules put it as a post in the Rules sticky and update the last updating date. You can manage the stickies and posts in there but please do not delete it. You can also clean up the unnecessary spam in it as well. Updating is a nessecityin this guild. So if you have ideas about what another rule is, I have made a special post in which people can edit and me view them later or have VC kira take a look at them. You are what makes this guild run. You should be allowed to say what goes on, what you want to read and what you want to see. Please, don't hesitate to PM me at anytime. I get to them as soon as I can.
Join Requests You can accept them because EVERYONE and ANYONE is welcomed to my guild. Of course, this does go "trust" issue as well. It's best if they do give a full reason of why they want to join the guild rather than just begging or telling you as a command to invite them.
Editing Posts Don't do it unless you are fixing their grammatical errors. Don't change it for any other reason such as just for the hell of it and being able to. It's mean. Moderators do not do it. Don't change their polls either. Just because you don't like the options or questions doesn't give you the right to fix it unless there was no poll to begin with.
Moving threads It is much more better if you explained to the person why you moved their thread or why you locked it. Please do so. Please explain why youhad to move it to the designated area you assigned. Quote: Racial and or Ethnic disclosure and or commentsWhen is it too much? ARE NOT PERMITTED in the guild. Why? It offends people who are either with someone who is that color/religion/ethnic/life style. If you use racial slurs and or anything else that provokes it being racial you will be warned. I will not toloerate it and nor will any one else. It's getting serious guys, so just keep it to yourself. Even if you didn't mean it, even if you think they took it out of hand, simply put: do not use racial remarks and slurs. Moderators do not toloerate it on gaia forums and niether will the crew members or any other member will or have to. This is for your safety and well begin as well as for other. So I do not want to see:Black slavery as a comment/joke
Holocaust jokes/comments
Adolf Hitler jokes/comments *is guilt of this one*
Asian jokes/comments that make the race bad or "funny" or about how they are different
Mexican jokes/commentsListen even if that is your religion/your ethnic/ anything that you are also a part of. It can be offendable for someone else. You might not see it that way, but there is someone out there who does find it offensive to their nature and satandards. Please, cut down on joking on such matters. Quote: SUICIDAL POLLS AND SELF HARMIt has come to great attention of the suicide polls on here. It's best to not do that because if the forums do not allow you to attempt, provoke or make suicide threads, they mean polls too. I am giving moderators a grant to allow them to change the polls in which self harm and suicide is present. Please follow all ToS rules in poll making as well. We don't want to see you hurt yourself by the remarks you say about yourself, everyone deserves a chance at succeesion and progresses. Love yourself because if you don't--- no one else will. Ask yourself this: How can I love anyone if I can't even love myself? It's mushy but atleast if makes you think about future possibilities. Kira Kira-chan

#1. If you make a topic and it is moved, please send a PM to a mod asking why, if they do not PM you first telling you why. Making a topic about it to their other guild members why it's gone is not gonna get the topic back. How can they get it back if they don't have the power to do so? Moderaters please be sure you tell the thread holder why you moved/locked/deleted the thread.
TO CREW: IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT DELETING A TOPIC
THAT HAS ALOT OF CHOICE WORDS AND FLAMING
MOVE IT TO THE PENITENTIARY ONLY BEFORE YOU DO SO!
#2. If your thread is locked, it is always locked with an explanation in the last post. Sometimes the reason maybe because things were said which weren't appropiate, flaming has started, or someone was offended by the contents.
#3. If you have a problem with a certain member of the guild, please try to solve your problems with them in PM's. If the problem worsens and effects the guild, then please tell a mod and we will try to do our best to help. Sometimes we miss those things too
Kira Kira-chan
♥ Please listen ♥
I know that most of us here have their minds in the gutter
*is guilty of this too*
But, please try to refrain from talking too perverted
We have a lot of younger members here that don't understand it
or do but would rather not talk about those situations
Also, we've all had parents looking over shoulders on occasion
I don't think we'd want someone to have to quit Gaia
because their parents saw something titled
"Have you ever mastrubated?"
"What songs do you have sex too?"
or something along those lines
even with pics, please remember PG-13
Taking about people kissing or making out is fine, just don't go any further than that
Other than that, and it's even against Gaia's ToS
The guild could even get shut down if we don't stop it
*happened to the Yaoi Guild*
I hope you guys understand what I mean
thanks ^_^
