Reporting and General concerns~
==========================

Reporting Rule Violations
==========================

If you see a shop that is breaking the rules, please report it via the report system.

Just because a shop is in the forum doesn't mean the moderators have approved of it. Sometimes a moderator has just not seen the violation. So, when in doubt, report.

Please include the following information whenever possible:

• The url of the shop.
  
• Name of the shop owner.
  
• Proof of theft in the form of:
  
  • The url of the site they are stealing from or
    
  • The url of another mini shop they are stealing from or
    
  • Any other form of proof that the shop owner does not have the right to sell their product.

The Gaia Staff that moderates Mini Shops and its subforums wishes to protect the rights of artists, and maintain a harmonious community. We understand that the rules can be broken without malicious intent, and people who break the rules are not always 'bad people'. Please don't treat them as such.

If you are ever asked by a staff member to take certain action with your shop, it is not because we hate you, or think you're bad. We just want to protect artists' rights, and the reputation of this forum, as well as Gaiaonline.com as a site.

Feedback
==========================

All of Gaiaonline.com encourages feedback. Any comments on these rules are welcome. Changes will be made from time to time. If there is anything lacking in the rules that you think is necessary to protect artists, please advise.

If you do not understand any part of these rules or require clarification in anyway, please do not hesitate to ask. You are more than welcome to ask questions and provide feedback on these rules by posting in this thread. A moderator will address your post as soon as possible.

If you are not comfortable with posting your feeback or questions publically, you may PM an online Mini Shops moderator.

Please feel free to add to our link list below. Post your resources links in this thread and we will add them. ^___^
