Rules and Guidelines
arrow User must follow Gaia's terms of service and rules.
Not following this rule will result in your name being handed to the guild leader with request to ban as well as reporting you to the Gaia staff. arrow Zero tolerance policy on trolling. It is not acceptable here and will not be tolerated.
This is not acceptable behavior, and will result in your posts/topics being deleted. Continuing to break this rule will result in your name being give to the guild leader with a request to ban your account. arrow No Spam or posting of threads that do not fall under the sub-forums uses.
I will move the thread to the proper forum or delete it. arrow No Porn or Shock Pics will be accepted, this is not the main GD if that is what you are looking for then you will need to go there.
This will result in reporting to the Gaia staff for breaking the TOS and your name being turned in to the guild leader to be banned. arrow This is a literate forum, no chatspeak. Please do your best to make sure your posts are literate, I realize that English is not the main language to everyone so to your best ability will be suitable.
If I see posts that are full of chatspeak I will delete that users posts. arrow There are NO prommies/popular people or anyone above anyone else in this forum. Again this is not the main GD if that is what you are looking for please direct yourself there.
arrow Zero tolerance policy on attacking/harassing of other users.
This includes: name calling, insulting/attacking the user for their private stories/feelings or beliefs, attempting to humiliate another user.
It is one thing to be aggressive in debating and trying to make a point, and another to insult/harass/humiliate a person. If you feel that you have been personally attacked in a unacceptable manner DO NOT post this publicly, please contact
Tara, this forums moderator via mail. You can access it by clicking on my name. If I feel that this was a genuine attempt at harassment or attacking then the user will have their posts deleted and further action
may be taken depending on the nature of the attack. I may also try to make you both work it out if it comes down to a simple disagreement.
This is against Gaias TOS, it will result in being reported to them as well as to the guild leader with request to ban your account from this guild.
exclaim If you are posting a personal story please make sure that you are keeping within all guidelines on the site. Do not post information that would reveal too much personal information that could be dangerous to you. Realize that the users will respond in there own manner and not always see things from your view point. Also realize that everyone in the guild is able to view/read/post in this sub-forum, if you feel that what you have to say is too embarrassing/personal then please do not post this information publicly.
idea Your sub-forum moderator here is
Tara. If you see a user breaking these rules and would like to report it you may do so by mailing me; your name will be withheld from the situation and dealt with as soon as possible. Everything that is against the TOS of the site should be reported to Gaia staff. If you feel this is a serious offense (i.e. someone being attacked, porn spamming, trolling creating a lot of negative reaction, etc) against the TOS please report it to the Gaia staff members and contact me, if it is not against the TOS please contact me immediately including the link to the thread. If I have not responded to your mail within 2 or more hours time please contact one of the other mods or guild leader. You can find there names
here.DO NOT continue to argue or post in response to the user that is breaking the rules. This will only create more drama, and negativity as well as give that person a reason to continue as they are often doing so to rile you up and upset you. Ignoring them and reporting is the best alternative in situations like this. The staff will do their best to make sure that everything stays as it should in all of the forums but just like you they are people, they have lives and they do not sit in front of their computers 24/7. Please give us time to reply or respond.Show the same respect to users here that you would expect them to show to you. Be open minded and realize that no one here is you. We all think, act and live differently which is one of the wondrous things of the world that keep us all from being mindless zombies that bore the life out of each other; and for goodness sakes HAVE FUN!! ***The uses and rules are subject to change to suit the guild and members needs.
