Alright, first off welcome. I know most likely no one will ever come here, but I feel like doing this anyway. We as a guild should learn to work with each other and help each other to grow as writers as well as people. Yet, there are so many arguments that happen constantly. The moderators of this site do an amazing job, but they are just people like us. We can't expect them to know every last thing that happens within the guild. I believe that we as guild members should learn to take initiative. The mods have done so much for us so I believe we should do our best to try and give back to them. The way I feel that I personally can best help is by doing what I do fairly well at. By being a mediator. I've gotta say I have an unfortunate amount of experience at doing such a thing for my age.

[hider=A little about myself]
	Before I can even attempt to help people here in the way I want to try, I need to tell you a little about myself I suppose. Well, get ready cause I am very bad at talking about myself. I am 19 about to turn 20. This means I have a low amount of life experience, but I like to consider myself quite skilled at being unbiased. I will say I have done a considerably lot less than most people my age, but I hope that doesn't make people think I can't help. As of right now I can't think of more to say, but if people ask me questions I will answer them and add them here.[/hider]

[hider=Rules]
	Now I guess it is time to go into the rules and procedures I would like followed by people if they actually come here.
[list][*]#1 : Follow all guild rules.
[*]#2 : Read [@Lady Amalthea]'s [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/91296-rpers-guide-to-etiquette/ooc#]Rpers Guide To Etiquette[/url]. I know it doesn't pertain much to what this is about, but I believe everyone should read it.
[*]#3 : No cursing , Foul language, or insult throwing. The purpose of this thread is to peacefully settle a dispute. I don't want anyone arguing here.
[*]4 : Listen to what I say. If you are coming here for my help then you need to listen to what I say and take my advice. However, if you can calmly state your opposing views then do so. Just don't get mad at me if I don't take your side.
[*]5 : Prove to me you have read the rules by stating at least one of the bullet points used in Lady A's Rpers Guide To Etiquette. Otherwise, I won't acknowledge your post until you do.
[*]6 : Do not come here thinking that you will get an outside source to instantly back you up on something. That is not what will happen here. I will listen to both sides and look at things from multiple perspectives and then I will do what I can to help you.
[*]7 : Do as I ask. I may ask you to screenshot something and send it to me. I may ask you to tell me how a particular thing made you feel or how you felt when posting a particular thing.
[*]8 : Have possible witnesses prepared. I may want to speak with someone not involved directly in the argument but witnessed everything as it happened.
[*]9 : Do not tell me false information or attempt to give me fake screenshots.
[*]10 : Now last but certainty not least. Be respectful. Yes this can be considered a reiteration of past rules, but that is how important it is.[/list][/hider]

	Now to get into the procedure for how things will happen here if you seek my assistance. 

	The first thing that will be done is you will read all the rules.

	Next you will collect screenshots of whatever argument or issue you are seeking help with.

	Make sure you tell EVERYONE involved that you are coming here so they can prepare as well.

	You will then present to me in a [b]PRIVATE MESSAGE[/b] with all other individuals involved the information you collected.

	Each person involved will take their turn to say their side of the story. At no point will anyone say anything about what the person said unless I ask them for their thoughts. If you have something you really want to say then type in the PM asking me if you may say something.

	After everyone has presented their sides of the story and information I will go over various things and speak privately with people one on one .

	After this I will present to everyone what I think the best course of action should be. If any disagree with what I say they are to calmly and politely state their opinion.

	I will the respond in a similar manner and this may go on for a while depending on what we say.

	Once this is done everyone will go their separate ways and never speak in the PM again.

	I will follow up with the individuals involved for a few weeks and if the argument hasn't stopped I will place the users on a list at the bottom of this first post of those people so others can be forewarned.

	Thank you and I hope this service can be of use to others.
