* -- You absolutley MUST be atleast semi-literate or advanced. If you are accepted, you are expected to live up to expectations. Post garbage and I or one of the admin will send you a warning. If your illiteracy continues, your account shall be deleted. All posts should be atleast 3 lines long. That's not asking much - even with writers' block.. write to the best of your ability each time. Slacking is not acceptable.
-- It is suggested you join as an Original character. If there are little or no Book Characters left to choose from, which is doubtful, you may freely register as your own made up character. Please request permission from either Admins Harry or Hermione otherwise.
-- Made-ups are not to register as any relative of an Original or the sort. Nor are they permitted to join with any sort of relationship without Admin and character permisson.
-- In order to be accepted after resgistering, please change your display name to your character's full name (firstname, lastname), and post your profile in the 'Character Profile' board area.
* -- Being active is mandatory. We are extremely strict about this rule, espeacially if you are a main or inner character (characters that are -book wise- involved with the protagonists. In this case, protagonists include; Harry, Hermione, and Ron).
-- If you are going to be absent for a period of time, no worries - simply post the date and interval of your absence in the 'Absent' board. It would be appreciated you visit atleast once a day, but of course things come up and is not expected of you. However, if you do not have enough time to post at least once a week .. you should probably not risk joining at all.
-- I should hope that we all know not to power play and all that jazz, however, there are those few, so ... Please, please, puh-leese do NOT power play, god mod, or any of it related (gary stuts/mary sues, etc etc). It's just so pointless to break such an easy rule to follow. I see no need to stress this any further ... it is just simply not tolerated. Period.
> -- Please do not ruin the boards with Out of Character entries. I understand the occassional comments, but try not to make a habit of it. Us lovely admins ( ^_^ ) have been generous enough to include Ooc boards for you. Feel free to explore them, our little minions XD
> -- Typos. We all hate them, but unfortunately, we're all plagued with them. However, we've been blessed with a little thing called the 'Modify' button. If you've made a mistake, even the simplest ones, please take the liberty of modifying your post as so there is no confusion - besides, it looks so much nicer. Remember, the modify button is your friend! ^^
>* -- Romance and violence is allowed but limited. Nothing too graphical - remember, keep it PG-13 level; this includes both in character and out. This is not a dating site, nor is it a place where you can bicker at each other ... it's come to my attention that some people seem to think one's character reflects the person playing them. This also seems to be resulting to a bit of conflict between our RPers. Honestly, we're all old enough to get along Ooc, I hope?
-- Made ups are not permitted as veelas, werewolves, animaguses, vampires, etc etc. Do not even ask, you know the answer already. We'd like to atleast follow the story line, if you would..
>* -- We admin may occassionally give some authorities to our members. Please do not abuse them; in character and out of character. Such as, we may choose moderators for the site - don't do anything foolish that you know would not be approved by us. Also, if you wish it and think your capable, we will make some of you Professors/Staff (of course, you'll have to PM one of us firstly), if so - don't do things like award your house with House points or deduct points from your rival house for no particular reason. Also, be reasonable about the amount you award/deduct.
* -- While deuling and such is fine, killing off characters is absolutely not allowed what-so-ever! I can not imagine why you would want to do this in the first place, but if ever you feel the urge to be brutally ruthless, hark what's been said.
-- There will be only two other twins who are made-ups other than Fred and George Weasley. Do not, I beg you, PM us asking to join as twins if the two positions have already been taken. It will be ignored - not to mention it is annoying to be badgered when you know full well that we will reject your pleads...
** Note everything that's been said in the rules .. read them through carefully and thoroughly .. write them down if you have to, but please - abide by them! If for some reason you break one of these rules, you will be warned over PM. You will only recieve a maximum of 3 warnings. The next step is account deletion. We really don't wan't to have to delete our members. We luff all of you! Do us and yourself a simple favor and just obey the rules..?
