NO BUMPING -- The thread doesn't need bumping. It has enough traffic to keep it on the first page of the guides forum and bumping does not add to the discussion. Note that I report all bumps, and you could end up reprimanded or even banned if you bump repeatedly in the Guides forum.

Post only relevant discussion and questions about trading in the marketplace. To quote our benevolent moderator, "This isn't a hangout thread." Don't post updates to your gaia goldbalance or your latest triumphant sale. Do post questions (and answers) you have about trading in the marketplace and advice or discussion relevant to trading. For conversation that doesn't belong here in the guide, please feel free to post in the How to Make 100k Chatterbox thread.

Don't quote any sections from the first page -- If you had a question about a sentence or two, sure, quote just that section, but don't quote an entire chapter of the guide. I'll just report your post and have it removed.

No Advertising -- I know it's a popular thread and you might get some exposure, but advertising doesn't belong in my thread. Again, I'll report your post and have it removed.

No begging -- If you read the guide and put it into practice, you don't need to beg for gaia gold. So do not post requests for donations, your list of desired items, or a banner for your quest. (I don't care what you put in your signature, this prohibition expressly prohibits begging in the content of your message.)

No lewd or irrelevant comments -- Basically, this thread doesn't need your random comments, especially if you start trolling.

No stretching the page -- It's just plain rude.

Sorry, I really didn't want to post a list of rules, but by doing so, I can better serve the rest of the list by getting some of the trash removed.
