Rules
These are in no particular order and will be added to as more come to light.
Anyone who joins the Order is expected to be active in the guild. This means regularly posting in the forum. We acknowledge that real life takes precedence over Gaia. There is also a matter of time zone differences that has cropped up. We "clean out" the member list of inactive members at least once per year. 3nodding
Also, don't forget to introduce yourself on the guild roster.
Keep the swearing to a minimum. We have created a method of censorship that uses BBCode to turn the swear words white. That is most certainly permitted. You highlight and read the censored words at your own risk.
Stay on topic in threads. We have a bad habit of turning topical threads into random threads. We've got a general-purpose Chatterbox thread for random chatting. Want to chat about something specific? Make a thread for it!
No chatspeak. There are few things more annoying. Don't do it. Let's keep things literate.
No begging. It's annoying. If you need gold, you're welcome to ask nicely or sell your skills within the guild, but don't bother people about it. Also, don't ask for inordinate amounts of gold or items. (I was asked for 94k once.)
Don't bump. We don't need to, so don't. If you want to bump for gold, use Gaia's Chatterbox forum. That's where bumping belongs. If you feel the need to bump a thread in the guild, do so with a relevant post.
Flaming. Don't do it. I will spray you with a fire extinguisher, and that stuff is a pain to get out of your hair. Just saying. Play nice.
Also, if you violate Gaia's TOS you WILL be reported. And not just by the Crew. All members are asked to please report anyone violating the TOS to Gaia staff.
