Welcome to Gaia! ::

You want some suggestions? I've got three:

1. Don't be mean to guild members. I wasn't even TWO WEEKS OLD on Gaia when you locked my thread and posted a rude message for it being in the wrong place. Should I have remembered the posting rules? Yes. But I'm also new and a member of six other guilds. I'm human, I get the rules for various places mixed up occaisionally. You could have just as easily MOVED the thread and POLITELY told me that it was in the wrong place. Being more considerate of your guild members will make them want to visit here more.

2. Don't decline people's requests to join. I recommended this guild to a friend because she finds the regular Gaia forums boring and wanted a place where people talked about things she was interested in, like Gravitation. You rejected her.

3. Don't post messages complaining about the lack of posts if YOU aren't going to post here regularly yourself. Expecting others to do something you aren't doing and then giving lame excuses about ADD is very unprofessional, and not at all the example the Guild Owner should be setting for the rest of us.

I apologize for the "rude message," but us moderators really do get sick of the same thing being told to people repeatedly. We're not going to stalk you or something and go "Oh, we should give her a break because she's only a 2-week old Gaian." That's absolutely no excuse. We were explaining to you that we do not want this type of thing to happen again. Don't take it personally, as it was nothing of a personal threat. We treat our members as a whole, not individually.



Sorry to be cruel, but that's your fault. It's not hard to look around the guild and see what goes where.



You're right. Next time we'll try to be a bit more polite about our requests, and that will definitely stop everyone from breaking the rules anyway. Oh, and sorry for the sarcasm, but we've had terrible guild members in the past.



I have been more than considerate to every guild member here. For the last year, I have tried to keep the peace in this guild. I think I am starting to be a bit too considerate, to be quite honest.



She obviously did not explain in two very simple English sentences as to why she wanted to join our guild. I don't care if she likes Gravitation, if she can't express her interest in our guild/Gravitation in a two sentence request, she will not be accepted. It is the same for any other member. If it is truly that big of a deal, she can request to join again.



My inactivity has nothing to do with the members inactivity. Everyone is their own person.



Sorry you feel that way. Would you rather I wrote a 6 paragraph essay explaining every reason why I'm inactive? I could name plenty, house problems, computer problems, family problems, friends problems, girlfriend problems, schoolwork problems. Same reason why some of the moderators are inactive. I'd rather not put my whole life story in front of the entire guild to read. I'd rather sound lame than do that. And I don't think it's 'unprofessional' to spend my quality time and gold to do everything I can for this guild, and spend a year attempting to make it the most I can, even spending hours on the phone with other moderators thinking of ideas, and conjuring events, threads, and other things to help said guild. And after all that, is it really that much to expect out of 133 members, one post a day?

However, thank you for your input, it will be discussed. ^_^ Input is always appreciated by our members, and I apologize if I sounded rude in anyway.

Thank you, Tats! ^_^

D: Now I feel all guilty.

*bows* I'M SORRY!

xd Well, you could. We'd like meaningful posts where appropriate though.
I like flooding. It's fun. ..but then, I'm a loser. xp

I have no real excuses. I just never really go on Gaia anymore. I have lots of stuff to do.
I'll post when I'm on, though! ^^;
