Here are the Rules of the site. If you break a rule you will be givin a notice, if you break a rule again, you will either be warned again or suspended. Depending on the severity of the rule breaking.
Stay in character
You must stay in your characters mannerisms at all times. Don't tell someone to come on msn now, because your character lives in a castle with no electricity. If you need to talk to one person specifically out of chararcter you can pm them. If it's to everyone, either use the ooc board or if it's relevant to the topic your in post it in double brackets like this ((message))
Got it!!!
Characters
Okay characters is always a major problem on role play sites. You end up with brothers and sisters and cousins and spouces and children of all the characters in the books. I don't want it!!! Also I don't want characters from other shows like charmed or Sabrina or anything like that. This is strictly Harry Potter characters and custom characters. If you want to play a book character you need to apply for them in the characters board. Same goes for custom characters. I know it's a lot to get through, but once you have, the forms are over for the most part. There are a lot of signing ups to do involved with this site, but they all help to make the site run smoother, so I thank you in advance for your patience with them.
Do not give out your password to anyone!!!
This means your log in password, the password to any of you club commonrooms, or house commonrooms, any passwords you recieve keep them to yourself. If I found out you have givin the passwords to anyone else you may get suspended, also if you post in an area you shouldn't have the password for you may be suspended. If you want to meet up with someone from another house in a commonroom, that's what the student one is for.
No One Liners
Okay I myself have joined many a role play site where the posts are all just one line. I want you to put emotion into the posts to make them longer. If your introducing yourself to someone, dont just post
"Hi, I'm Fred" I want you to make them more interesting. For instance.
Fred was standing on the lawns. he was out looking for some new people that he could meet. He saw a very pretty girl sitting all by herself on the lawns. He was flaberghasted, he'd never seen anyone more beautiful in his life. Somehow he found the courage to go over and introduce himself. When he reached her he waved and smiled. She's even more beautiful up close he thought to himself. "Hi my name is Fred" he said. Somehow he'd managed not to get all tounge tied. "Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked.
Okay do you get the picture? I want you to describe where you are, what your doing there, what you think about the people your with, that sort of thing. I want everyone's post to be at least two full sentences long, and I'm sure you can manage more if you really try.
Only control your own character/s
This ones pretty simple. DO NOT POST THE REACTIONS OF OTHER CHARACTERS. So never do this "I punched him but he dodged it" It's up to the person you are role playing with to decide whether or not they are going to dodge it or not. If I find a post where you are controlling someone elses actions I will edit the post and you will be warned. It is called god-moding and is not allowed here. If I catch you doing it repeatedly you will be suspened.
Be Appropriate
*Do not post any inappropriate images, they will be removed and you will be banned.
*No racist or sexist comments, you will be suspended immediately, and your post deleted, your suspension length depending on the severity of the post.
No Spamming
Spam or Stupid, Pointless, Annoying, Messages will be deleted, they are stupid and take up room on the boards. Spam includes double posting. Don't do it ever! The only people who can double post are staff, and they shouldn't do it too often anyway.
Have Fun!!!
This board is meant to be a fun place. I don't think any of the rules are too hard to follow, but I guess we'll see. Enjoy yourself and make sure to check back here often to see if any new rules have been added.
