No Spamming
Spam is any post that has no topic related to anything, usually meant for just getting gold.
No Flaming
"If you're deriding ideas, you're debating aggressively and need to be careful not to cross the line. If you are trying to hurt or belittle people, you are flaming. I like debate, I hate flames." ~Lord Bitememan
No Harassment
We have gotten some reports of harassment between members via PM. This is a report between Gaia and the Members, however, if we feel it is part of the guild, we will deal with it as well. Any harassment in threads will be dealt with heavily!

Refrain from Double Posts
Double Posts only make it really hard to extend a conversation, and just waste a page anyways. It's not an official rule, but it's appreciated.
Debate
The essentials to an intelligent debate.
Anything colored in red is necessary

Links Are Your Friends
With any topic, a nice little link leading to a reliable news source (ie; Fox News, CNN, CSPAN, Library of Congress) is an essential to a topic. This will help readers of your topic understand the issue at hand, and have an easier time settling an argument.
Have Meaning
Having a standing reason with evidence is the best way to argue a topic. Ranting on about how horrible democrats are is not a way to debate. It's almost as illogical as "I Hate Bush." However, a sarcastic comment to an obvious fallacy is a little humorous.
Have Fun
Don't get too hot-headed in a simple discussion, people will vary in opinion. Keep your head cool, and your feet hot, and have a wholly good time.
