I like that there isn't any spam allowed here, but it also bugs me a little.
If posting is the main way to make gold, shouldn't they atleast have a forum (like the chatterbox) where you are allowed to just post whatever?
Yes, newbage will probably skyrocket, but as long as the spam was kept in that one forum, wouldn't it be alright?

I dunno.

I just feel like it's hard to make gold without double posting. I always have to wait for someone to reply or go find another topic. lol

I somewhat agree that it is better without so much random crap, but I still think that there should be an easier way to earn gold.

Im so happy about the bump rule! The fact that in Gaia you need to bump posts for them to be still visible is pretty sad. But not as sad as the chatbox...is the worst place ever.

For the rest of rules, I will probably see when going with them. If the get in the way or just work out fine :)

I think rules are good for this type of community to maintain the relaxed but safe feel of this site that so many of us love. However, what is up with having to take a stupid quiz about the rules before you can post? I'm sorry but if that keeps popping up I"m not going to be bothering to show up. It's aggravating - it is to prevent spammers but it is just another annoying pop-up. I appreciate what it is trying to accomplish but there must be a better way.

I both love and hate the text length = more gold rule. It's great that it encourages people to use complete sentences and all that, but I think it can also make people a bit unnecessarily long-winded. I've scrolled right past stuff because people were just repeating themselves, probably for gold. ^^; It discourages spammers though, so I like it more than I dislike it!

You should only have to take the quiz once unless you don't pass it.

It's a gateway to the forums for new users so that we know that they know the important rules of the site.

It is also to prevent spammers and bots. *nods*

I don't think I dislike any of the rules...

I really like the fact that you can't bump or just post emotes. I hated it on Gaia and I probably would hate it here too. The whole purpose of these sites is to have fun... and I just don't see posting nothing that contributes to the discussion as fun.

And I also like that you can't beg or ask for items/gold. I really don't like beggars. It's nice to know that you are questing for something, but I don't want you going, "I'm questing for ____, please give me ____ gold!"

Well, I would say the spamming rule annoys me alot.
I mean, it's hard enough to make gold but without spamming you cannot make much gold in a game like this.

But, without spamming these forums become much cleaner.

I guess I have just countered myself.

At first when I saw all the rules, I was a little bit worried but when I saw them I thought, "Wait, aren't these all just common sense type things?"

The rules are basically the same as they are on any other normal forum, so they're very easy for me to remember. I'm always pretty careful about following rules on these sorts of websites anyway, and since I've been on the internet for such a long time, they're just a second nature to me.

So, I guess I can't say I hate any of the rules. :) I think that the rules of this website will keep away some of the more illiterate types. LOL

I guess rules are made for a reason.. I think the rules are ok.

The no bumping and spamming rules I like. I just wish there was an actual spam/quiz area where you could just post there for the gold. At least it would give us a spam area for when we want to do that.

Post decorating I really do not care about. There is really no rules that bug me.

I'm getting very annoyed at the anti-gaian community I'm hearing. I'm sure the new test we have to complete in order to post was implemented because of the ads on Tektek. I really don't like people blaming Gaia for all the spammers. It's just where the most people are- where there's more people, there's more predators. All this Anti-Gaia crap is really pissing me off :/

I don't like test literate/noob test in the beginning.

I love the non spam rule, since that always annoyed me on other sites. It annoyed me because it's a forum site, one of the major purposes of being on the site is to talk to other people, not to spam. So I really like this rule.

I dislike the double posting and no bumping rule. They counted it as spamming. -.-

Double Posting Dx
 

I have to admit, I don't like the double posting rule, because then how can a thread stay on the first page?

Does anyone know what I mean? ^^;;

Oh, really? Then I love that rule too! xDD haha
Thanks for clarifying that! *grin*
