[READ] Main Forum Rules [Updated: 08/20/09]

[The Suites]

As long as the following rules are followed when posting in this forum, there will be no problems. If you are ever unsure of what you can or can't post in here, please PM either a crew member or myself. We'll try to respond as soon as possible with an answer.

• All of the Guild Rules apply.

• Do not bring up threads that have fallen past the first page unless you are the thread creator. Necromancing threads will cause them to be locked and moved to the Recycle Bin.

• Page Stretching is not allowed. If your picture stretches the page, a crew member will edit out the Do not create repeat threads of topics already on the first page. Please check to make sure that your thread does not have the same topic as another. Similar threads are unnecessary.

• Do not spam. The only exception are threads requesting Tekteks and “I’m New” threads. Spam includes bumping, meaningless or random posts and threads, picture-only posts, and quoting another without adding to it in your post. Threads must have enough information to establish a discussion for others, meaning there should be more than a sentence in most cases. Posts should contribute to conversation.

• Advertising is only allowed as an add-on to discussion and when it is to advertise sites outside of Gaia, AvA entries, and art shops, fish tank threads, or other similar items. Advertising anything else such as outside giveaways, guilds, etc is forbidden. If you are unsure if advertising a particular thing is allowed or not, please contact a crew member.

• To run any contest or shop, permission from a crew member, Captain, or Vice Captain is required. This is for everyone's safety. While the rules set up in the contest and shop will be upheld in ordinary cases, guild rules will take precedence over them. If your contest or shop is posted without permission, your thread will be locked until a crew member can okay or deny it. Once you have been given permission, please state that you have received permission and by who at the beginning or end of your first post.

Any and all members found breaking any of the rules above will be either warned or banned, depending on the severity of the breaking.

You all know that there are only so many things the crew can catch at a time when it comes to people breaking rules. This is a large guild and there are many things to keep watch over in here each day. That's why we're giving you the opportunity to give us a hand.

Below, you'll find a form you can fill out and PM to a crew member if you come across someone who breaks the rules in the above post and we have not found it yet.

If you feel your report is a bit more serious than what you normally see, then it'd be best to send your report to either the guild captain or vice captains. Of course, they'll tend to regular reports as well if you feel more comfortable sending it to one of them.
Captain: [de.Lici.ous]
Vice Captains: [Szen] | [PainfullyVivid]
