First off, i would like to explain our, how you say... "justice system."

The TOCaRPG consists of regular members, crew members, a vice captain, and myself as captain. The Rules and Guidelines are expected to by followed by all the members. Breaking the rules will force the crew, VC, and myself to take action in ensuring the rules are followed. Therefore, an evaluation will be made based on the severity of the rule broken, and a decision will be made by popular vote of the crew. This is our attempt in removing bias from decisions being made, and to help create a fair environment in the guild.

However, to avoid such time consuming evaluations, we would greatly appreciate you reading through and following these rules:

-Follow www.gaiaonline.com's Terms of Service. If you can't abide by Gaia's rules, then your not meant to be here. Breaking this rule will not only get you permanently banned from this guild, but it will also get you reported.

-Be courteous to each other. We are a community, and as a community, each individual's opinions are to be valued equally. Disagreement is alright, as long as it is followed through in a mature way. Discuss your differing opinions, but always remember to treat others the way you wish to be treated.

-Please post in the appropriate forum. The forums are made in order to keep the guild orderly and organized. Posting in the wrong forum will not get you into serious trouble, as long as it is a first offense. If you are unsure as to where your topic belongs, feel free to contact a crew member for help.

-Do not create multiple's of the same thread. If an existing thread is not on the main page, and you were unaware of it's existance, it is ok. Multiple's of such a common thread are not necessary. This is to keep our guild clean and free of wasted space.

-If you are to create a topic, make sure to ask yourself the following before making your topic: Has anyone made a topic about this before? Does it relate to the forum it is being placed in? If it's a question, is it asked in a way that others will understand? If it is a statement, will anyone actually care to respond? If you said no to any of these, don't make the topic. Or if you really have the urge to make that topic, post it in the Chatterbox Subforum.

-When posting or replying to a topic, ensure that the post is on topic to that topic, and that you are not directly offending anyone. Its ok to express your opinion, but do so in a way that you can be understood. Meaning, please make your posting legit. If you have learned to use a computer, get online, and make an account here on gaia, it means you probably have a basic understanding of the english language. Therefore, it should mean you should be able to read and write. So, I will conclude that you should also be able to type in a manner that others will understand you.

-If someone is breaking the rules, don't post back and make the situation worse. Instead, please contact a crew member, and they will take forth disciplinary action. If it is a severe issue, the crew member is then responsible for (if I have not already seen the issue and taken care of it) contacting me.

-The addition and alteration of rules is a possibility in the future based on situations as time passes. Announcements in the announcements thread will be made when rules are changed, and I advise members to ensure they familiarize themselves with the rules. If there is any misunderstanding of the rules, please feel free to contact me via private message. Also, in addition to the rules, I, as guild captain, am able to bend any of the rules based on circumstance.
