THE RULES - x
THE CHATBOX: If I find you spamming it, you're out. I
do not permit people to spam. If you do not know
what spam is, you've come to the right person.
Spam is when you post a message over and over. It
does not have to be the same exact thing, but that's
how it goes. If you post pictures over and over, I will
delete them, and I will ban you on the site. DO NOT
ADVERTISE ON THE CHATBOX! I CAN'T STRESS THIS
ENOUGH! If you put a URL in the URL box, make it an
image--not the URL to your site. EVEN IF YOU'RE
ADVERTISING AND YOU'RE A GUEST. I DO NOT WANT
THE URL ON MY CHATBOX!!!
This site is strictly Harry Potter. And if you haven't read
the series, you're out of luck. In the Harry Potter
series, only human students come to Hogwarts. If they
turn into a werewolf, or vampire afterward, then they
must take it up with the Headmaster. The Headmaster
will decide whether they are allowed to stay, or not.
Well, in this RP, they are not. We do not want any
werewolves, vampires, or anything of that sort. Sure,
the occasional Bogart from the wardrobe in class is
fine, but you cannot roleplay the creature through its
eyes. To stress that, the pets students are allowed to
have are not allowed to have posts in their point of
view. You roleplay your character, or you don't
roleplay at all. Like I said earlier, it's strictly Harry
Potter. The last time I read the book, no one was
perfect, not even Harry Potter himself. That means, that
you are not allowed to make Mary Sue characters. If you
don't know who that is, I will explain. She is a perfect
person and doesn't have to do anything. But your
character is eleven and growing! They are going to have
pimples, growth spurts, voice changes, all that good,
puberty stuff! If I see that your character is perfect, I will
not accept the biography. Sorry, but it is in the rules. :/
Please, one character per profile. You may have five
accounts MAX. I know, it is a pain in the butt to
log in one acccount and have to log into the other,
but it takes about three seconds, and it is incredibly
easy. Now, for your account sign ups--please have
your "USERNAME" to be the same the whole time.
Example: Griffen, Griffen1, Griffen2, Griffen3, and so
on.
Easy. If you wish, you may keep your password the
same, but for security reasons, you may change it.
For your DISPLAY USERNAME, please put the whole
name of your character. It's very simple. That's all I
ask. Now, for your avatar (this IS optional.), if you
could put one avatar with your USERNAME on it,
so we know who you originally are, that would be
grand. If not, that's okay, too. Signatures must be
only 500 in width, and 300 in height. I will not
permit more than one signature. If your signature
is not about your character, that is fine. Just don't
allow it to go over that mark. STAFF! You must
have an EXTRA account. This one will be your regular
name, and then your account will have a 6 ending it,
most likely. That one account will give you your
admin powers. Otherwise you are not a staff
member. Please, please, please, please, please don't
ask to be staff! If you do, I will not make you staff
ever. I will promote members randomly to staff
ranks if I think they are worthy enough. It depends
if I trust you or not.
PLEASE ONLY USE THE TEMPLATE PROVIDED FOR THE
BIOGRAPHIES! I can't tell you how many people use
different ones. The one I have laid out is nice, and
organized. It's a very simple task. Please do not
STEAL the biography I have made for you and use
it on a different site. If you do, I WILL find out and
ban your account. ALL of them. I am not kidding
about this, people. If your biography is not
completed, please put a [WIP] or [ND] or [NF] tag
on it, so I know not to look at it. Please do not ask
for your character to be accepted. If you do, I will
make you wait longer. I'm not playing around.
ROLEPLAYING! Please! No chatspeak! No ttyls, or
brbs! THIS IS A LITERATE ROLEPLAY! We speak
like humans do! On this site, we speak English.
In Harry Potter, they speak English, or any
language from Europe. THIS SITE TAKES PLACE
IN EUROPE. Therefore, lots of these characters
will have accents, and none of these characters
will be American. That's just how it flows--sorry.
You may not randomly decide that your character
hates someone because you hate the person
you're roleplaying with. Honestly, give that
person's character a chance! For all you know,
they could get along! O: If you really hate them,
then don't RP with them. Simple as that. :/
IN THIS SCHOOL WE DO NOT ALLOW SEX, DRUGS,
AND ALCOHOL! THAT IS NOT ALLOWED! THOSE
ARE MUNDANE OBJECTS THAT WIZARDS HAVE NO
NEED FOR! Since they are mostly English, they
drink tea. Nothing more, nothing less. IF YOU
FIND SOMETHING OFFENDING: Get.Over.It.Or.
Leave. I will not make your sorry ass feel
better just because you're offended by
something. If you bring the problem to Proboards
Support, I will hunt you down. This site took
FOREVER to get online, and if you ruin it, I swear,
good things will NOT happen to you. I will vow
my life on it. So, here's your warning. If you do
not like kissing, sexual talk, bad language, and
gay men/women, LEAVE NOW.
Simple. ^^
IF YOU HAD A FIGHT IN OCC: Please PM me the
problem and I will try to help. I don't want
members hating each other. D:
OCC is strictly out of character talk. That means
no roleplaying. You may talk about your
character, but otherwise keep it to a minimum.
If I think of more things for the Rules, I will add
it and send a mass PM to all the members of
the site to read it. I will ask for you to PM me
the thing changed, so I know you've read it.
It does not have to be word-by-word, but
that would be most appreciated. :]
I know these rules look terribly strict, but they have to be that way. I swear, I'm not a mean admin! I love all my members and everything that goes on. These are precautions that must be carried out in order keep the peace on this site. A little obedience never hurt anyone.
