Frequently Asked Questions:

Moderation/Reporting Things
Q: What happens when there is content in my guild that breaks TOS?
A: Captains are responsible for content inside their guild. Moderators will not be responsible for removing TOS violations from your guild. If you are not able to keep your guild free of TOS violations, YOUR GUILD WILL BE DEACTIVATED PERMANENTLY.

Q: I am a member of a guild and I am having a conflict with the guild crew or captain. Can I have a moderator help me out?
A: No, Gaia moderators are not responsible for your guild politics. It is up to the guild crew how they want to handle internal conflicts. The sole exception is if the guild crew or captain is violating Gaia's TOS.

Q: A guild banned me for no reason, I wanna report them! -OR- The captain/crew are abusing their power, what do I do? -OR- The guild is really close to breaking the TOS, can I report them?
A: Guild crew can do whatever they want as long as they don't break the TOS, including banning you for no reason. Do not report a guild unless there is a TOS violation that the Guild refuses to take care of themselves.

Q: Where do posts go when deleted?
A: Posts are removed from the view, but they still exist. Gaia moderators can review them for evidence. Guild users do not have access to deleted posts.

Q: Where do topics go when deleted?
A: They go to a hidden guild that Gaia moderators can review for evidence. Guild users do not have access to deleted topics.

Q: Can moderators restore a deleted post or topic?
A: No. Once a post or topic is deleted, it cannot be restored.


Q: The captain of my guild got banned/quit Gaia, but there is no Vice Captain. Can a moderator change ownership of the guild to a different user?
A: No. This was the reason Guild Captains are now able to create Vice Captains. If a guild captain wishes to ensure that their guild will continue to have a captain should something happen to them or their account, they will need to appoint a Vice Captain who can carry on in their stead should something happen.

GGN Crew/Moderators
In a GGN guild, the Captain, Vice Captain, and Crew are the main moderators for that particular GGN forum. Gaia's official moderators should only be needed when Gaia's TOS is being violated and the GGN guild's Crew fails to enforce it.

Q: What can a Crew Member do?
A: Crew can delete posts, delete topics, post stickies, post announcements, edit posts, lock/unlock topics, invite users to the guild, accept join requests to the guild, and ban users from the guild.

Q: What can a Captain do?
A: The captain can do everything Crew can do in addition to being able to edit the guild settings, edit the front page of the guild, promote users, transfer guild ownership, and join the Captain's Guild.

Q: What can a Vice Captain do?
A: A Vice Captain can do everything a captain can do! A Vice Captain is like a co-owner. Make sure your Vice Captain is someone you can TRUST.

Q: Why can a Vice Captain transfer ownership?
A: There have been many cases where guilds lost their captains to bannings or because they quit. Having a Vice Captain that can change ownership ensures that the guild can live on. You don't need to have a Vice Captain, but its a good way to ensure you'll never get stuck without a Captain.

Q: What is the difference between Crew Log and Captain Log?
A: Crew logging shows deleted posts, deleted threads, and permission changes. The Captain log shows Guild name changes, and guild ownership changes. The crew log is for guild crew members to monitor each other's moderation activity. The Captain log is for Gaia moderators to trace activity in case their involvement is required in resolving a guild conflict.
