Every guild needs rules!

This rule is SO important, that it doesn't even get a number: POLLS ON ALL THREADS. NO EXCEPTIONS. This also applies for all the subforums!

1. Please refrain from using chatspeak as much as possible. Don't know what chatspeak is? its when u typ lik dis and think ppl can still understnd u. I don't expect perfect grammar or spelling, but please make an effort! The occasional "idk"/"lol"/other simple acronyms are permitted. (u and ppl are not acronyms, and I don't want to see them.)

2. No bumping in the main forum at all. If you wish for your thread to be back at the top of the forum, make a real post that gives people something to reply to. (Say your thread is about Pizza, you can reply to it with "I've been wondering how many people like pineapple on their pizza." Instead of wasting someone's time with "Bump"

3. You are required to read the entire thread before replying. If the thread is over 3 pages, you are only required to read the previous page. For the people who are turned off by insanely long posts, you don't have to read them. (Unless they're the first post of the thread) If the person who posted it has SO MUCH to say, they can post it in Extended Discussion.

4. Going off topic in a thread is completely and entirely permitted.

5. Follow Gaia's Terms of Service and their Rules and Guidelines.

6. All threads must be in the sub forums relating to them. Have a thread about your avatar? Please put it in the Avatar Talk sub-forum! Also, don't make threads saying "I just posted new art in the art sub-forum! Go check it out!" Those will be deleted.

7. Be respectful to all of the crew members. If you are caught being rude to any of them, you will be banned as soon as it's seen. In fact, be respectful to all members!

8. This isn't really a rule, but if you have a complaint about any of your fellow members (or even about any of the crew) PM me about it. Don't take it out on them in the guild. I will go over your complaint and decide on a course of action (with the assistance of other crew members).

9. No begging of any kind.

10. Do not just copy and paste something then post the thread. Not only is it theft, it's annoying.

If ANY of these rules confuse you, please PM one of the crew members. If you aren't sure who's a crew member, check out the Memberlist.

And now, one rule for crew members: Try to check out the crew sub-forum at least once a day. (Or just whenever you sign on. I know everyone doesn't come on everyday) I'm not big on having 12 crew members, so if I find out some of you are slacking, you're SO demoted! (If you don't actually care about your crew status, or are too lazy to do the work, please PM me. <3) By the way, I'm lying about the one rule, thing. There are more in the crew subforum. xd
