Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. Respect is key. The very nature of this guild means that there will be an almost constant mixing and mingling of ideas, many of which will likely not be to your liking. I don't ask that you like them, I ask that you respect the beliefs for that what they are, another human being's beliefs.

2. The Gaia ToS do apply here. I personally don't want to lose the 20,000+ invested in the guild because someone decided to be a pinhead about it.

3. Please try to avoid cognitive dissonence when debating. If you are going to make an extremely controversial and/or outlandish remark, PLEASE be ready to give at least some shred of proof in the form of citations.

4. If you have a problem with a moderator, feel free to lodge a complaint with me in PM. Under no circumstances are you to ever post it in the forums.

5. While not required, we ask that you use English to the best of your ability at all times. This is to allow for easier and more fluid communication as well as to hinder anyone from evading responding to your point by correcting your grammar instead.

Please post here indicating that you agree with these rules and the last date that you edited your post. This will effectively be a binding contract for you to use the guild.

In the event of significant rules changes, I'd like to make sure everyone has read the new ones. For right now it isn't necessary as this is the initial agreement.

lol I almost edited your post instead of quoting. =P

Lol, a friend of mine discovered they could do that in the guild they owned XD just for the heck of it and because that person was particularly annoying (and by that i mean, take your average annoying person and clone him 10 times and put him in one body)

Anyways, i agree to initial contract.

Agreed on my part, on the fourth of March of the year 2007, in accordance to the 'contract' currently made, and until said contract is altered, my agreement shall be maintained unless circumstances require otherwise.

Easter Eve, 2007 - If I ever stop lurking, I'll follow those guidelines.

Of course.

Fair enough, I agree.
