Greetings, everyone! I would like to warmly welcome you to this guild and express my sincerest wishes that you enjoy your time here. Hopefully you've all introduced yourselves here, so I don't have to add that to the list of rules. Now, to ensure that everyone has a great time, I'm going to set down some basic rules for this main forum.
I. The main forum is for general polls and questions about writing, art, and fandoms. You can also post guides and advice as well as general guild-related topics. Story advertisements must be put in their specific subforums and all other miscellaneous posts must be posted in the Chatterbox subforum. There are also specific subforums to make fandom discussion easier.
II. Something that we really wish to drive home in this guild is that plagiarism is not allowed. We have a zero tolerance policy for that sort of thing, so if anyone is caught stealing another member's work they will be banned.
III. Don't spam the main forum. Well, don't spam any of the forums on here. Your spam will be deleted and you'll receive a warning. If you do this more than once, you're out.
IV. No advertising is allowed in the main forum. We have specific subforums where you can advertise your fanfiction, original fiction, and art. If you advertise here or promote yourself here, your thread/post will be deleted.
V. When you reply to someone's thread, please stay on topic. Thread-jacking isn't allowed. If you wish to have a one-on-one conversation with someone, save that for the PM feature.
VI. Respect your fellow members! There's no need to get snarky with each other or try to start fights. If you feel that you are being harassed or disrespected, feel free to file a complaint about the offending member. Violators will receive an official warning and can be banned depending on the severity of their actions. This rule applies to the entire guild. Instructions on filing a complaint can be found here.
VII. Last but not least, follow Gaia's ever-changing ToS. wink
