Yes it does! But if we're to get along, and if there's to be order to this madness, then we've got to have some rules.

Okay, I don't want to sound Elitist or anything here, so i'll do my best.

1.)
Always abide by the TOS rules when in this guild.

2.)Post only about Power Metal bands and bands that influenced Power Metal (I.E. Iron Maiden, Dio, etc.).

3.)Because of the varying tastes of many Power Metal fans, a subforum will be made for non Power Metal bands, so members of the guild can talk about other enjoyable bands. Nu-Metal, Industrial Rock, and even Hard Rock bands are welcome, as long as it isn't something like this:

Quote:
OMG DRAGONFORCE ARE GD BUT MARILYN MANSON ARE BETTER!!


Anyone posting like that outside of a joke will be asked to leave.

4.)Always respect the other members of the guild. Many people have, as was said before, varying tastes, and differing views on music, so always be sure to be courteous to and respect those views. If you have an opinion, voice it in a respectful way.

6.) There is no rule number 5.

7.) Friends don't let friends NOT buy Rhapsody albums.

8.) All posts that are not Power Metal band threads MUST be put into the correct subforum.

9.)Please look for the band you are posting about in all forums, it's very annoying for the mods to have to clean up duplicate threads.

10.)People seem to be under the impression that the band Children of Bodom is power metal, when in reality, it is Melodic Death Metal. While posts about COB are welcome, they are welcome only in the subforum for non-Power Metal bands.

11.)Being literate and using grammar is fun! You should try it sometime.

More rules to come as my brain will allow xd !

I'm also going to allow a flamefest should such an occasion arise. They're good fun and often turn lame threads into great ones.

Here's another rule that I just thought of:

5.)I've been seeing a popular trend in the Gaia Metal Forum. People seem to be under the impression that the band Children of Bodom is power metal, when in reality, it is Melodic Death Metal. While posts about COB are welcome, they are welcome only in the subforum for non-Power Metal bands. Thank you for your time.

you people confuse me so...M-A says power metal, other sources say melodic death, The Waking Child and Harvested Sorrow say power metal, ya'll say melodic death...

The Waking Child also says that melo-death =/= melodic death, but rather power metal with harsh vocals and possibly lyrical content differences...which, to an extent makes sense to me when i listen.

i ******** hate these genre boundaries and confusionationisms...!!! for sake of simplicity, i shall comply. i don't really care much for CoB nowadays anyway...

It's safe to say that I'm right and they're all wrong

Sorry if I'm not allowed posting here or anything...but I would like to thank Stormbeard for putting my "Friends don't let friends NOT buy Rhapsody albums" in the rules. Thank you very much.

Yes!! I used to like COB but the were never close to power metal! Ther are Melodic death metal to the core!!! The reason I don't like them now is the overatedness and the fact that everyone only wants to talk about them when theres a million bands better then them!

I already love this guild just for that rule.
I in fact just came out of a debate in the metal forum which was about CoB and how they are not power metal.

I started a thread that turned into a debate like that back when I started Gaia.
On my old account: Megafan22 (they messed up with the gender so I made this account)
I wanted more Melodic Death metal like Children of Bodom and In Flames and they all flamed me saying "Children of Bodom is power metal not melodic death metal." I think I had a few people on my side but not many. That sure wasn't a great way to start out my time on Gaia but oh well. xd

Personally I think CoB are in a genre of their own...
