Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

One unfortunate thing about Gaia is that some of the rules are a bit... hidden. I know, we have the Terms of Service but who here can honestly say they read the entire thing when joining and furthermore - understood it?

Put it simply, you cannot exchange Gaia gold or items for anything off-site. This includes getting people to play a game on another website (regardless of your intentions). The funny thing here is that I didn't know this when I first joined Gaia and almost did it as part of a charity (where instead of bumpign you played a cheap flash game and the high score would win). Luckily the charity bomb'd and we never actually ran the competition.

It's one of those things I wish was made a little clearer when people join, unfortunately it's buried in the legalese of the Terms of Service.
