quite honestly, I think that this guild has ended up being a place where people just put up ideas, and await feedback from others. Plus, the protests we are doing "keeping our hair" and " giving games" aren't protests, but suggestions that we are trying to show to gaia. I think we should really get into gear and start protesting stuff that gaia is doing wrong, otherwise you might as well change the name of this guild to " The Gaia Suggestion guild.

And I'm this years old *show number four*


Now that you mentioned it, it makes a lot of sense. But, if you look at it, you'll see... for what can we protest for?

Why not both? We could have the protests, and petetions for the sudjestions.

Yeah, I was kind of disappointed by the protests that were chosen.
I was really hoping we'd protest the GC offers. ._.
Or at least something a little more important than hair. D:

I dont mind gaia cash offers as a large company they MUST make money so its understandable tactics since if I runned gaia I would advertise myself.

however we SHOULD protest agisnt the rules of becoming a mod because that is why such a large number of innocent users are being banned they do nothing wrong one person who is rabidly trying to be a mod then sees a post and judges it as wrong when in fact it fallows gaia rules and tos they report it and then one lazy ACTUAL mod or another just goes and bans em cause it was reported by an active reporter who could be a mod for all their "good work" THAT is something to protest agisnt.

I don't have a problem with GC. It's the "free" offers I have a problem with.
Many users have gotten viruses on their computers; been asked for personal info such as phone number, address, and SSN which can lead to identity theft; been asked for Gaia username and password which is against Gaia ToS; had their inboxes filled with hundreds of spam mail; have gotten charges on their phone and credit/debit card bills even though they're supposed to be free; and after all that many users still didn't get their GC.
So as I said, I don't have a problem with Gaia Cash itself (although I do wish we had more gold shop updates instead of cash shop updates). My problem is with the "free" offers. :/

Yeah, I want to be a mod, but I'm afraid that they'll ban me for getting angry at someone or something like that.

Look,
this is exactly why I wasn't
looking forward to this becoming a
"Protest Guild", for the simple reason
that there isn't much to "Protest" about.

Other than somethings that are
a Bit unfair, yet even though their
a Bit unfair they are simple things
we can get through with. Unlike our
previous Protest, where we had a cause
and we were heart-set on it, and we actually
all had the same goal and union, also we
knew, and other Gaians knew as well that
it was unfair of the Gaia Board to take our
Cigs away.

But I agree, the things these guys are
calling protests, aren't really about
protesting they are mostly suggestions.

Making this a "suggestion" gulid would be a good idea cause there is nothing to portest right now. But when something does come up we will be there if it is worng to band or something elsa to say to gaia "no no that is not nice to us no" lol. But yes I do agree we need to find a more serouse topic then hair to suggest to change. Any one have any ideas cause I dont.

As I have already suggested, I believe we should protest the "free" Gaia Cash offers because they are harmful in many ways to the users and their computers.
Someone else had a pretty good suggestion before they chose the protests. I can't remember, though; something to do with hackers.

I think gaia could get away with just a warning sign on the page, cause frankly some people are too overwhelmed by the fact that they could get gaia cash that they can't give a s**t about pop ups, r spam that comes to them. It would be nice though if gaia did a better background check on the companies it's sponsoring.

It would be nice if Gaia warned people about it, but it's not just spam. A lot of people get viruses on their computers doing some of the surveys, and a lot of people get charges on their cell phone and debit/credit card bills because of hidden fees. Most of them also ask for personal info, which against Gaia ToS. And a lot of people don't get their GC after they finish the offers, including me. x.x

Thay are becoming a hassal. Gaia needs to do background checks on them to make shure that we are not being harmed in anyway.

I wish it were only that easy.
Unfortunately, that is how all "free" offers work on any website.
I've tried the offers on other websites before and they're all pretty much the same thing.

I resent your implication.
We never ban without research and reason.
Each of us thoroughly investigates every report, and makes informed decisions about the outcomes.
And, for the record, there are a lot of rules, terms of service, and FORUM rules that people don't know/don't follow. So while they claim that they've followed all the rules, they very well may have been violating rules they didn't bother to read or pay attention to.
