This could be construed as advance warning. It's a quiet day at work today, which gives me extra time to pay attention to GAIA. Time for an experiment! First, refresh your acquaintance with this chunk of the Terms of Service: GAIA Online's Terms of Service While using the GAIA Online Experience, the User may not: 1. upload, post, email, graphically portray, or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, racist or otherwise objectionable. This basically means that if you cuss someone out, flame them, call them a derogatory name or are otherwise rude or abusive towards them, you're breaking the ToS and could potentially be banned for it. Let's see what happens if I get strict about enforcing this section on GD. pirate - Zahir

	I reckon it'd be rather funny, people complaining, and saying others started it. If I was a mod, I'd do it. Force a utopia. lol

Commented on: Fri Mar 24, 2006 @ 02:30pm


	A warning, sounds more like a threat. And you know what would happen just as well as the rest of us, Zahir.

	Are you prepared for the massive backlash and whining? I hope you are. pirate

Commented on: Fri Mar 24, 2006 @ 04:07pm


	Threat, nothing. 'Tis a mere notification of intent. biggrin I would've kept count of the bans and warnings issued, but I'd probably get in trouble for it. So suffice to say, there have been a non-trivial number of warnings and bannings so far. 3nodding

	Nah, man. That just seems to be going a bit overboard, yanno? Besides, the GD is a pretty liberal place. Don't go slapping rules and enforcements down on us.

Commented on: Fri Mar 24, 2006 @ 09:17pm


	HA! Imagine if you get strict with that in the CB. rofl *"Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever."* *~Anonymous*

	That makes me LOL irl. But really are you sure you have that much free time? To purge GD of everything that fits in that would take days.

Commented on: Sat Mar 25, 2006 @ 08:25am


	God forbid the rules and standards of the rest of the website be enforced in the GD. Teh opprezzive!!! PRESERVE THE NATURAL HOME OF THE MORLOCKS! Careful, you might get unpopular or "too many complaints" like the Kermster. mrgreen

	I just don't find it fair that you announce in a journal not everyone reads that you're considering enforcing a rule more strongly than you have for the last year and a bit. That's all.

	Pff, if I'd wanted to make an announcement I'd post a sticky or something. But to be perfectly honest, why should it be necessary to issue an announcement that the ToS are going to be enforced? People should be adhering to those rules already.

Commented on: Sun Mar 26, 2006 @ 02:44am


	Oh I'm just waiting for so many usual flamers to get banned xD

	Then you should've been enforcing them better for the past year plus instead of being lax sad

Commented on: Sun Mar 26, 2006 @ 09:02am


	Lax? Oh come on. You've followed my journal for a while, right? Think about all the times I've mentioned the GD report queue being horribly backlogged. That's not because the mods are sat around with their thumbs up their arses admiring how pretty and colourful their usernames look. It's because GAIA's forums generate a steaming shitload of reports every single day. If we're talking about should, I think the main should is that GDers should stop squabbling like a pack of fractious kindergarteners, and follow the damn ToS.

	Hrrrrrm, announcing a major campaign on the GD on a blog. I like that style. You kow this may lead to a Kermi-like end for you Zahir. But either way good luck. gloomps Oneechan

	ToS or otherwise objectionable. what. like, anything, then?

Commented on: Sun Mar 26, 2006 @ 12:05pm


	Dark-oneechan: I wouldn't say it's a major campaign. That'd be something like getting as many mods as I could to blitz GD for a week or something. Not to say that'd be a bad thing, of course. If people re-read the first line of the journal post, you'll see I didn't mention that it was an ongoing thing. Just something I thought I'd try since I had the time to do so on the day the post was made. domokun

	Everyone has broken that rules once or twice. Being Strict would just cause more of a ruckus. It's the derogatory words that should not be tolerated.

	I'm very much surprised that I managed to avoid the latest wave of bannings. I must have been out of town again on business. surprised

Commented on: Sun May 28, 2006 @ 01:35am


	I think if you did enforce that, there wouldn't be a GD left.
