RULES, BABY
[/color][/font]if you don't follow them, i'll let fenrir greyback loose on your kids![/color][/font]
GENERAL ![/color][/font]
to start with, we go by the three strikes and you're out rule, purely based
on the fact it works nicely, and it allows people to redeem themselves if
they're given a warning and junk. so there's a few things which i will most
certainly not tolerate on this board. and i'm only saying this because there
are certain people who are like that in person. racism and sexism are a big
one, no matter how subtle it is. everybody around here is equal, whether
they're a member, a mod, an admin or a guest. treat everyone how you
want to be treated, mmkay? also, i should probably mention that minor swearing,
sex, drugs, rock n roll and the rest of it will be on here. if you don't
like that, then this probably won't be the board for you. the only exception to this rule is that members
are not allowed to post pictures containing nudity or anything rude and/
or vulgar. finally, spamming on the roleplaying boards is condemned, so
don't do it. we have ooc boards for a reason! and don't bash the board. [/b]
REGISTERING ![/color][/font]
i'll make this very clear: when you register, you may use any name, but once you are approved PLEASE make sure it's with a first, and a last name. us admins don't want to have to
spend time changing everybody's usernames because they didn't stick to
the rules. also, if you're going to play a register, pleasepleaseplease don't
register with the same surname as a canon as it confuses things. and makes
it like the canons have a long lost relative. if you do want to do the whole
long lost relative thing, i'd appreciate it if you could register with your own
choice of surname, thanks. i'm really going to stress this one because there's
always somebody who's guilty of it. nobody is perfect. i hate to be quoting
hannah montana or whatever her name is but really, characters need flaws!
also, if an admin spots any of these mistakes in your application, or your
sample does not appear literate enough, the admins reserve the right to
reject your application. finally, signature's must not stretch the board skin
as it looks untidy! if they do stretch the skin, they will be deleted without
warning. a little note on your character having "special abilities", well they
can't. unless is specified on the canon list. this means we can only have
canon veelas, werewolves, vampires, metamorphmagus' and animagi. sorry
about that.
Activity is obviously an important part of being in this RPG. If you don’t intend on being active please do not join. Being active means being on every three or four days and POSTING! Just logging on does no good at all now does it. There will also be activity checks and if your not there sorry you will be deleted. If you are going away for some reason let us know so we will not delete you.

ROLEPLAYING ![/color][/font]
i've said it before, and i'll say it again. this is a literate side, going on advanced.
there's no chatspeak tolerated unless you're in the chatbox. even then,
only minor chatspeak such as brb and lol is accepted. i'm sorry if this is
an inconvenience to anybody but i freaking despise when people type
"u" or "r" as opposed to spelling the things out properly. when you are
posting make sure it's in the past tense as it make things so much bloody
easier for us all to understand. okay, so no powerplaying or godmoding
unless you've plotted out a roleplay with somebody, and you have the
other roleplayers permission. you can powerplay and godmode to your
hearts content, then. right so if you plan to kill off your character please
get it checked up with an admin as we don't want mass suicides here at
hogwarts.finally, if you are starting up a roleplay with a specific character,
make sure that everybody knows its for a specific character, so nobody
else posts. if you do see a board made for a specific character, you should
respect that and not post there. now, if you understand all these go make a
character that we'll all fall in love with! or whatever tickles your fancy.
how yeah, our secret phrase for the application template is rick rolled. ...
-cough- yes, it's an inside joke. don't ask unless you want the full story.
Okay so this is going to be an intermediate to advanced role play. I hate to do this but it is so frustrating when you make this totally awesome post and someone replies with a tiny post. So the post minimum is going to be two hundred - fifty words. We understand that everyone has their off days so if you post close to that once or twice we will not come hunt you down. But if you continue to post under the limit you will be banned.

SCHOOL RULES![/color][/font]
apparating and disapparating are banned in hogwarts; in fact, even if you
tried your hardest for it to work, it wouldn't. you'd probably just cause a
lot a strain on yourself. first and second years cannot take part on the
visits to hogsmeade unless given permission by the headmaster himself.
everybody should be at their dormitories by nine o clock pm. anybody who
is found, whether by a prefect or by a professor, will be instantly placed
in a detention without further argument. yes, this does in fact mean that
prefects, the head boy and our head girl can give other students detentions.[/b][/font]
