Everyone should now about the rules but did you know Gaiaonline is breaking the rules themselves? @_@
OH yes, they are. Take a close look shall we..
I'll only give some examples.

To make it short. Read what is underlined.
So they saw they will remove bad content, hmmm..
Well, seeing the chatterbox thread, there has been some going ons for a very long time without getting deleted yet. Sorry, but Gaia is slacking.
Also in contests, they did mention not to take anyone else's ideas. Look at the items!
The pony - My little pony
The fat belly- Bill from the show "King of the Hill" (If you look closely)
Egyptian items- Tutinstein & Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
Laptop- L's laptop. (Death Note)

Batman
The list goes on and on.
