Rules
Flaming/Harassment/Grief Play: Straight up offensive, belittling and insulting language will no be tolerated on G.A.I.A. This mean anywhere on the site, including the cbox and OOC section. While a character a person is role playing may be the nicest of people, in character behaviour taken to the extreme that it seems as if the player is also attacking someone for who they are or OOC while In character will also not be accepted. Harassment also is not something that will be accepted, be it on or off site.
Meta-Gaming: This is when you have your character use knowledge that you as a player acquired out of character to influence their in character actions. For example, treating someone you out of character know hurt your character's friend badly, while your character themselves does not that they did so.
God-Modding: This is when you portray your character as unbeatable, taking attacks and seemingly being completely unaffected by them with no bais, or by constantly dodging attacks that they reasonably should not be able to do so. This isn't the same as Close-Ended Roleplay. (Please read here from a description of different RP styles.)
Puppeteering: This is when as part of your post you control another person character, or an NPC they they brough in to the thread. No matter how minor the control is, unless permission has been given for you to do so. If vagueness in part of another person makes you feel as if you don't know what they are doing ask for clarification to hopefully prevent any accident puppeteering.
System Cheating: Posting and deleting to gain money from post, adding EXP to a character or powers they have not earned or editing a post after another person has posted to change the course of a thread are forms of cheating and are against the rules. Also do not post OOC while in the In Character section. (Minor OOC note as part of a post are okay.) In Character post in the OOC won't be considered for gains in anyway.
PG-13: In character, OOC or in the cbox overtly adult themes are not allowed by proboards terms of service. In character cases like this should fade to black, and out of character conversation of this nature should be taken off site.

REPORTING: If you see anyone breaking these rules, or have a dispute over these rules with another player as part of a thread or in the cbox please bring them to my attention by PM or Skype. Though for a matter of record using a PM in addition to skype is useful. Staff can't monitor everything, and members helping is appreciated so that we can build the best RP site.
