1.) When role playing, please try not to ruin the pretty boards that our head master has worked so hard on, and have out of character conversations. Make sure the 'away' comment of yours is included with your post and not seperate.
The following are allowed (and all others resembling this):
brb
g2g
afk
Keep in mind that the admins do check the boards periodically, and will make any necessesary changes, including deleting posts that are NOT needed.
2.) Do not, I repeat, do NOT continually PM the admins asking for things, this will result in a warning and a possible suspension.
3.) Yes, we need made up prefects, for all the houses. But the prefects would be either in their 5th or 6th year. A Head Girl and Boy are greatly needed, as well. -- If you want to be one, PM the headmaster (Cho Chang), asking to be one.
4.) All the Houses will start off with 100 House points. Like at Hogwarts, points can be gained, or lost.
5.) Swearing at other members, is an offense. If you can obviously tell that the offence is meant as a joke, I might go lightly, but other wise, the offender will be receiving a warning.
Example of what will not get you a warning: "Your an idiot, xD." Or, "Ah you dumbass." That's fine, but obsence profanity will count AGAINST YOUR HOUSE POINTS. Along with possible suspension.
6.) Like neopets, this is not a dating site. RP romance is fine, I can understand that. But don't hang around the chat boards, posting stuff like; "I need a boyfriend," As its annoying, and not what this site is meant for, any posts seen with that will be deleted. However, thinking that your character would like to be with someone is fine, because everyone does it,
Example: "Melissa sat on the ground of the library her gaze wandering about the couples, and she softly wondered why she didn't have a boyfriend."
7.) Literacy is an absolute must. To join, you HAVE be a Literate, or an Advanced Roleplayer. I will probably not accept anything below literate. If you get accepted because your literate and then slack off in the RP this is how you will get in trouble:
1. Loss of housepoints
2. Loss of ability to roleplay for three days.
3. Loss of ability to roleplay for a week.
4. You will get deleted.
Grammar, Puncuation, Correction of typos, and mistakes, Capitalization of needed letters, and Literacy, again, is required. With out these things, you cannot join.
8.) Powerplaying, Godmoding, Gary/Mary Sueing and Illiteracy will not be permitted.
The following might be exceptions:
'He leant forward, and grabbed her arm, drawing her toward him, for a kiss'
'He moved out of the way as a spell was cast at him.'
Do not always dodge attacks, though. That will not be tolerated and may result in suspension if we see you do it enough.
9.) No killing of characters is allowed. Never. End of story. If you wish to leave the site, the remaining characters will act as if your character went to another school, or something of that sort. It will be figured out amongst the admins.
10.) Original and made up character romance, you say? Sure. But made up characters shouldn't message the original character, and ask them to find a soft spot for them. The same goes for the originals. If you're lucky, you're characters crush will come to you. Otherwise, I'm sorry. I expect all people who are playing originals to PM me or another admin right away if someone does this, I don't care if the other person gets mad. It's a rule. It's not allowed. Don't do it.
11.) Speaking of romance, we will do our best to respect the powers that be (aka-proboards). Light romance is alright (she kissed him goodnight, and went up to her room), and even a hint of something heavier (they kissed deeply and moved toward the bedroom, closing the door behind them for some much needed privacy) is appreciated, but do not describe sexual scenes on the boards. It simply won't be tolerated. No one wants to be banned, so let's respect the boards, shall we?
12.) As in the books no added veela, vampires, werewolves, animagi, ect. Only in special cases will they be allowed. You may PM an admin if you abolutely must have your character be one of the beings named above, but you must give a valid reason.
13.) When the rules I and the other mods have made are broken, the offender will be warned. Serious offences will recieve two warnings, while others will only get one. In all, you will get five warnings before the Headmaster deletes your account, forcing you to leave the site. If you try to rejoin, the Headmaster will ban your IP number, which makes it impossible for you to join again.
14.) Report any and all harrasment to an admin (mainly Cho Chang). This is not something that is taken very lightly here. Harrasment is stupid and pointless and will not get you anywhere except for booted off the site.
*Please Do Not Forget: This roleplay takes place during the trio's 4th year (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). This means we will be needing students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang as well, but if you desire to role play a student from either of those guest schools, please make an effort to double as a Hogwarts student as well.
