POETRY FORUM RULES
Okay, since this is a controversial topic, I must set the legal rules and information.
1) THERE IS ABSOLUTELY TO BE NO TAKING OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS.
Stealing other peoples work is a major, MAJOR crime. If you steal someone's work and claim it as your own, that's plagiarism and people will hunt you down for using their work without their permission and claiming it as their own. Ever seen or read The Secret Window? Exactly. They'll hunt you down like John Shooter did.
Save yourself some trouble (And Bullets) and don't take peoples poems and stuff.
2) DON'T CLAIM EXISTING POEMS FROM WORLD RENOWNED POETS WITHOUT MENTIONING WHO DID IT.
Again, similar to the previous, except that you're claiming the story that a poet like Shel Silverstein wrote as your own. Not good either. If you're going to do that, give credit to the poet that wrote it first.
3) MUST FOLLOW GAIA'S T.O.S.
If you don't know this rule by now, then you're new to this site and I'll give you credit if that be the case.
Everything in this guild and guilds all over the Gaian World have to follow the Gaian rules otherwise, the guilds get terminated.
4) MUST FOLLOW GUILD RULES.
Like this rule wasn't going to happen eventually. Yes, these poems must follow the rules of the guild.
5)RULES CAN CHANGE AT ANYTIME
If I feel that the rules need to be changed, I'll add more or take out some depending on the situation.
that seems to be it for now.
