Now it's time to lay down some main rules and guidelines:
This is a place to chat, a place to meet peoeple even. It's a place to have fun, but not a place to spam.
I know I may have rounded up most of you from the chatterbox, but that's so you could help us grow. If you want to bump keep it in bump posts but don't make too many.
We want to stay in reasonable and sensible boundaries. Don't go around posting random things and try to speak in at least almost-proper English.
DO NOT Make posts for the purpose of linking somewhere else in Gaia.
Do not flame other people's posts, even if they're breaking a rule. we have moderators to deal with that.
Other mods if you have any suggestions please reply

As many of you know a guild is something that unites a group of people together by giving them a place to go and be around people like them. Some of you know and understand the time and money it takes to make a guild possible and ultimately real. So I think that to keep this running strong and keeping it enjoyable for us all, we need to first and foremost stay withing the T.O.S. rules you all should be aware of them. I've come to realize that many of you are new, not only to the guild but to Gaia as well, so you must know that rules will be strictly enforced. If anyone is breaking rules please pm mods of the guild and we will take care of the matter, but please DO NOT take matters into your own hands, remember this is a peaceful place where we all come to talk and have fun. Read the first pages of threads, stickies, and announcements to know how to behave and speak. n00b and leet speak is highly frowned upon,and I ask that you act your mature age, we can have fun without being childish. Any questions or additions you have for our announcement should be sent to a mod so that we can help you.

Basic Rules
Absolutely no sexual content of any kind is allowed. It's an automatic ban if you do this. It's very inappropriate and pointless to post porn. This isn't a porn-sharing forum, so don't post them here. No posting of porn websites, either.
No flaming. Another biggie. On this one, the first time you do it will be a warning. If the problem persists, it's a one week suspension. If it still persists then it's a permanent ban. You can go flame someone in a forum that allows that, but this forum will not allow it. If you get a PM that has flaming in it, please contact either me, or the mods. Please be nice to all of our members, mods, and admin.
No swearing/cursing/saying bad words/cussing. You can censor out the words. But don't say the whole word. Don't do it too often, either. If you swear in literally every post, that would be a warning. Some members might be younger than you, or are not comfortable with that kind of language. So please just use asterisks (*) if you feel like swearing.
No illegal discussions. Obviously, illegal is against the law. And the forum, and admin, abide by the law. And if there's any discussion about ROMs or something illegal that you did, or downloaded, whoever started on the conversation, gets banned automatically. And whoever participated in the conversation, will be suspended for a week.
(but do be careful what you talk about)
Spamming Rules
No off-topic posting. I know that sometimes people get a little bit off-topic. But if you are going off-topic, get back to the original topic after a while. People posting on the topic will sometimes forget what they are talking about, and that could make them all mad or something. So please remember to be on-topic.
No triple-posting. You can double-post in this forum only because sometimes people will forget to put some stuff in the first post and sometimes they don't want to edit their posts. But, if you forget to post another thing after that, then you're going to have to edit the double-post.
No leet talk. Please avoid this at all costs. It's very confusing, pointless, and takes people time to figure out what you're trying to say. I PWN J00 or PH34R M3! are a few examples of leet talk.
No page-stretching. It's very annoying to scroll all the way over to the other side of the page, just to find out that you only posted something pointless in there. If it is an image, then it will not be breaking this rule.

Certain punishments named may not be so harsh as explained, but don't take them lightly
