Welcome to Gaia! ::

These are the rules. My rules. Obey them, or you will be kicked out.

1. I am your Captain, and as such, my word is law. You can, if you wish, disagree with me, but if I were you, I would not let the fact become known. If I am displeased, I will make it known, have no fear.

2. My Vice Captain and my Crew were appointed by me. As such, they have more superiority than ordinary members. Don't piss them off, or they have full permission to edit your posts in order to make you sound like an idiot, or a Hufflepuff (but is there really a difference?).

In addition, Diana_Faye, as Vice Captain, has my full trust. If she bans you, it was most likely something that we had discussed, and she had full right to do it. Don't complain.

3. Do not overuse emoticons. You will have only one warning, in the form of an edited post, then one warning in the form of a PM from myself or one of the crew. Then, you will be banned until you've formally apologized to each member of the crew, including myself.

4. Try not to stretch the page. I recognize that people have different screen resolutions, and so it can be hard to tell if a picture will be too big for someone else's compter. However, do try to watch picture size, and don't post streams of nonsense.

Also, try to avoid quoting an entire post, if quoting only a section will serve your purposes just as well.

5. For Salazar's sake, DO NOT use chat speak. Capitalize. Use punctuation. Spell out the whole word. Do not use short forms like 'u' or 'lyk'. You may use 'lol', and other such shorthand, if you feel it absolutely necessary, but not too often, please. Out of all of the rules, chat speak will be the one I will become the most angry about. For your own safty, just don't use it.

6. I really shouldn't have to mention this, but please make the utmost attempts to follow Gaia's TOS, and other such tedious necessities.
