1. Respect your administrators & your fellow RPers.
2. Keep language and scene description to PG-13 rating. Any violations of this will immediately be locked and Mods will take appropriate action towards resolution.
3. Keep in mind, we use Harry Potter book series for inspiration here. The movies are fun of course, but if there is a conflict between something the movies and the books say, the books will prevail (which most of us agree, the books are much better anyway).
4. You can play as many characters as you like, BUT if an account has not been logged into for over 90 days, then it will be deleted.
5a. At least one Administrator has to approve of your Application before you are accepted.
5b. Administrators/Moderators - If you create additional characters, your character must be reviewed and approved by an Administrator other than yourself. This is a check & balance of power procedure.
6. If your character is having one of those parental urges, pregnancies/births most be APPROVED by BOTH parents & ADMINS, before it will be allowed to be RPed. This is to prevent a ridiculous level of attempting to RP children UNDER Hogwarts school age.
7. No DOUBLE POSTING!!! It is annoying and a waste of time. If you must include something you forgot, just click the edit button please.
8. Not everyone is going to be allowed a Special Race. These are granted to players who have proven themselves time and again to be decent & RELIABLE (meaning they stuck around through the site's rough times) as well as a previous history of steady RPing.
9. Not everyone is going to be allowed to play Professors. These are granted to players who already have at least TWO ACTIVE students and have run each student through at least one class a piece.
10. All deaths/Vampire/Changeling/Werewolves Creations/Turnings must be PRE-APPROVED by ADMINS before proceeding with RP.
11. Don't start Flaming people. This can result in banning if not ceased when requested.
12. An Administrators word is law. Do not ARGUE with them, and do not pester them via other methods of communication after a decision has been made. (IE: MSN Messenger, email, PM, Cbox, ect.)
13. If you are leaving for a few days, please post so in the Absence thread. It's just polite and Common Courtesy to the Admins and people you are playing with.
14a. Use common sense when you are RPing. Period. If you are having a thread in a public area with the Open label or the Character Name/Open (basically anywhere except the dormitories) don't consider it closed. And vice versa. If a thread has been ongoing and has been private, don't jump in and ruin the whole feel of the thread.
14b. DO NOT JUMP IN A THREAD THAT'S ALREADY GOING WITHOUT ALL/BOTH OTHER RPer's permissions! This is VERY RUDE!
15. Hidden accounts are forbidden. Signing up with alternative emails will get you banned when we discover the IP address match. We check this often and it's fairly sad we have to. Deception does not instill trust.
16. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT make your font smaller than the standard posting message when RPing. This is highly annoying and strains the eyes. Posts that are tiny fonted will be modified to standard so don't waste all of our time.
Any violation of the rules will result in disciplinary action decided by the Site Admin.
Any problems inbox me, have fun RPing
