INTRODUCTION // NAVIGATION // RULES // SUB-FORUM SPECIFICS // CALENDAR // BANNERS // FAQs // CREDITS Hey, hey there and welcome to Durem: Resurgam!
You either have been specially picked from the 2008 Rejected-Olympics Event or perhaps you have stumbled here yourself and decided to become one of our members...or maybe some crazy dark elf just abducted you and brought you to our home base! XD Either way, we are glad to have you as part of our family. As a recommendation, I strongly urge you to head over to the introduction sub-forum and announce your presence there AND so that way everyone can welcome you on the team!
As a secondary recommendation, I also encourage you to skim through this very thread -- especially the rules. Even though majority of it is common sense, sometimes we all need a little reminder. If you do not feel like reading everything, just scan over the bold parts, then the gray parts only if you do not understand anything said. Also, if you are at a loss of where to post and such, just look at the post under the rules and there is a guide showing you what forums are what and the things allowed there.
Last but not least, I want to welcome you once more to being a part of our family here. We look forward to you posting very soon...so don't be shy! And should you EVER need help, just seek out one of the moderators or myself, or post here.
XOXO,
Jae.

INTRODUCTION // NAVIGATION // RULES // SUB-FORUM SPECIFICS // CALENDAR // BANNERS // FAQs // CREDITS To maintain order and to keep Gaia moderators, admins, and etcetera happy, we must have rules. Of course, many of us already recognize general rules but there are also some of us who need to have our minds refreshed. The regulations are simple and are not hard to follow. Just read the bold parts in parentheses. The red text is just for specification. If there is a problem with any rule or you have suggestions to new ones, feel free to post any doubts or improvements to the Suggestions Subforum.
GENERAL RULES
⋆ [ Follow all Gaia TOS, Rules and Guidelines. ] These are universal rules as long as you are browsing through Gaia. They are there for a reason - it's respect and some are there to protect you and other users. Even I cannot change them while we are in this guild.
⋆ [ Spamming will be tolerated to an extent. ] I decided not to make another "Chatterbox" because it's unnecessary. Post whatever you want in the main forum. However, useless topics that are one-worded or whatever will be deleted.
⋆ [ If you have a problem with someone, report it. ] If it is happening internally within the guild, post it in the Reports Subforum. If it is something that I or other guild moderators cannot handle, then report it promptly to someone else who can, i.e. Gaia Moderator, Admin, etcetera.
⋆ [ Be respectful! ] Love each other because we're one big family. Problems are expected but if you start spreading hateful comments to anyone or about anyone, you will probably be reported, banned from guild, have thread/post deleted...but it all depends on the level of the offense.
⋆ [ Image posting size should not be bigger than 640x400. ] Some people have smaller resolution screens and only so much can be seen. I also have a pet peeve about page stretching...especially with pictures. So link us instead or use thumbnail. Imageshack has a way that'll provide a thumbnail for any picture.
⋆ [ No bashing of other teams! ] I don't care how much you hate them, dislike their colours, or whatever. Tolerance for this abuse is at ZERO level. Remember, loves...respect, respect, respect! And...good sportsmanship!
⋆ [ Use your common sense. ] If you have to think twice wondering if what you're about to post is bad, then STOP! It probably is. If you have concerns about it, just ask. The worst we can say is "no."
⋆ [ Do not revive old threads. ] Okay, in forums like the General Discussion, RO Memorial, Rolplay Manor and maybe the Spambox and the AE would revival be OK. Elsewhere, if it has been inactive for longer than one month, don't revive unless it's for a good cause.
⋆ [ I have the ability to add anything else here. ] As guild leader, I have my own responsibilities because if this guild goes into chaos, there's a chance it can be deactivated and no longer usable. I don't want that. So be good, hmm? XD
⋆ [ Remember to have fun! ] Just because there are some reminders and restrictions does not mean that you can't have any fun. They're here to keep some things from happening and what not, okies? ;__;
⋆ [ --- ] ---
CREW RULES
⋆ [ Do your job - moderate! ] Warn folks if things are turning sour, lock threads if it's getting out of hand, move things where they belong, trash unnecessary things, etc. If you think something is wrong, then it probably is, so fix it. If you're unsure, just ask.
⋆ [ Do not make announcements or stickies! ] If there's something that needs to be made into an announcement or be stickified, ask first (unless you are Vice Captain). The tops of each forum doesn't need to be cluttered with a million of those. XD
⋆ [ Do not abuse your powers! ] Just because you have some abilities that other members don't doesn't mean that you can do everything you please with them. Just as quickly as I have given them to you, I will rip it away. D:
⋆ [ Note that I am strict with Crew Members... ] And this is so because you have more powers than regular members. I love you guys all the same but some people just do not know how to use moderation powers for the right reasons. I hope you understand.
⋆ [ If wishing to ban someone, post the reason why first in the Crew-Only forum before taking action! ] I would normally trust a person's judgment as to why one should be banned but I do not want it happening without a reason and I like to know what's happening all around.
⋆ [ If you edit someone else's post, write down that you did so they know why. ] Some people are curious as to why their posts were edited, to put it simply. This just gives them the convenience so they don't have to ask.
⋆ [ Everything posted in Crew-Only forum is for Crew ONLY. ] Srsly guise. Get caught and you're not only demoted, but also banned.
⋆ [ If there are announcements or stickies made by me and are closed with 0 posts, do NOT post! ] Especially in sections where it's like the rules, welcome message, and forum descriptions. If it is locked and somewhere it says you can post, go ahead. I expect other crew to treat other crew members the same.

INTRODUCTION // NAVIGATION // RULES // SUB-FORUM SPECIFICS // CALENDAR // BANNERS // FAQs // CREDITS ooo. [ Duremite Main Forum ] Main forums for almost anything, yada yada. Preferably announcements and what not. Spam will be deleted/moved.
oo1. [ Durem Crew-Only Forum ] This is the safe-haven for Crew members that want to get away from crazy Duremite members hard-work of moderating. Discussion of new rules, official contests, possible crew promotions, banning, and what-have-yas right in this little office.
oo2. [ Introductions and Farewells - First time here or is it time to go? ] First time here? Well then, let it be known in this forum! This is your time to shine and say hello world! Also, you can leave your goodbyes, whether it'd be for a week, to a month, or even forever (you wouldn't do really do that anyway would you?). Limit one introduction topic per person and limit a minimal of one week of absence for farewell notices.
oo3. [ General Discussion - Talk about music, debate news, whatever. ] Talk about the hottest music of today or the most addicting television shows. Review movies and games or talk about politics. Spam here is not tolerated.
oo4. [ The Spambox - Do and say -almost- anything you want. ] Spam, multiple polls, galore! Woohoo!
oo5. [ Ranting Central - Need to blow off some steam? ] Just as it says...rant. If you are a viewer of another person's rant, do not make situations worse. They are there to rant for a reason and release some anger and steam. Agree and discuss or make things better if you please, but trample not in their own threads.
oo6. [ Artistically Eloquent - Artist, writer, singer, or something else? Show us! ] Have a new painting you want to share? How about a personal recording of that lovely voice of yours? Do you tell attention-grabbing tales? Then this is your chance to show everyone your talents!

oo8. [ Durem Contests and Games - Contests and games exclusive for here only! ] The guild's official contests and member contests will be held here. Any forum games will also go here. <33
oo9. [ Charity and Giveaways Etcetera - Ask for help, host giveaways, and fun! ] Ask for assistance in helping you reach your dream avatar or other goal. Hold giveaways if you're feeling generous. Overall, just have fun here! Quest threads may be set up here if you wish. In the future, if enough threads are made, it is possible that a guild charity mule will be made.
o1o. [ Some Suggestions - Any new ideas that you'd like to share? ] We're open to any suggestions, have it be new rules, request more moderators, ask for new subforums...ideas to contests and etcetera. There is always room for more improvements!
o11. [ Reports - Have a problem in the guild? Inform us here! ] Need a thread moved, locked, or anything else? Post it here. Someone bothering you in the guild? You can post here or PM me and everything will be kept anonymous and confidential. If I am not online, then perhaps a guild moderator can assist you. If problems are too great, then bring them up to official Gaia moderators and/or administrators. Crew members: if there is a request that something needs to be locked, etcetera, please post in the same thread here that it is done if you did it, thanks!
o12. [ 2008 Rejected Olympics Memorial - Got special memories to share? ] Screenshots, quotes, swearing that you were the person that washed Liam's body slowly for two hours, and everything else. Mind what you post though.
