Yes, well, because of the nature of this guild, rules are quite important.

First of all, everybody is different. We ask that you accept the differences, and stay open to everybody. In the words of the great Switchfoot: Love is the Movement.

Second, please be careful of what you post. If you are creating a topic that can be very sensitive to somebody, and make sure your title expresses that. For example, put '*triggers*' in the subject, or just make sure people understand that it involves matters that may make others uncomfortable. For more information, please see the Triggers announcement.

Third, please refain from posting information that would go against the Gaia Terms of Service or any laws. We are here to help people understand they are not alone, and we don't want any trouble. Use proper judgement when posting.

Fourth, although this isn't a rule, be careful when posting information about yourself. Use common sense when posting.

Fifth, Rebeckymabober and I reserve the right to add/change these rules. We'll try to let you know when we do, but just check back sometimes. We'll also try to colour any changes, so it's easier to see.

Finally, if any of these rules are broken, you will be banned. We want this to be a place where people can go to for comfort, and if you disrupt the peace, that will not happen.
