 The Rules of Future Hogwarts
« Thread Started on Jun 1, 2005, 6:15pm »

    GENERAL:
  • Staff is always right! No pitching the Administrators or Moderators against one another. It will make us very angry, and then role-play life would no longer be fun, please don't do it!
  • No posting things over and over again! If it happens that the computer or heaven forbid, proboards has a glitch, just edit the post and a staff member will delete it for you...not too hard! This also goes if you post a reply and realize you posted under the wrong account. Delete the writing and leave a message for us to go ahead and delete that reply.
  • You must read everything! Don't just pop into a thread without reading what has happened. This means, no skimming! Role-play works better if everyone reads what everyone else writes, at least those that deal with the thread you are in!
  • No bashing, ever. If it is brought to Staff's attention that we have a member bashing another, it is over. This is ONE thing we will not tolerate. Now, disagreements happen, we know it, and we don't want everyone telling on everyone else, bottom line, try to work it out amongst your selves. If it can't be done, then by all means grab one of us. It's why we are here.
  • Each month a role-call will be held; this is the easiest way for us to know that our members are still here. You MUST answer this, if you do not within the two week period, your bio will be moved to Deletion.
  • Along those lines above, you must be active! Unless we know about a situation ahead of time, if you don't post in two weeks, we will assume you have lost interest and you will loose your character, especially if it is a canon one!
  • No anime sounding characters. (Do not describe Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, or Yugioh sounding looks. No! No! No! Go to an Anime RPG for that.)
  • No Asian characters unless you show proficiency about Asian culture. Do not base Asians upon anime, music, and Asian pop culture. Most of it is image they want their people to see as well as foreigners. If you want your charrie to enjoy such media, then say they like anime or enjoy Asian music. (Personal note: Thanks to the mass media age we live in. I proudly say I’m a Ukranian/Puerto Rican woman who enjoys J-Pop, learning Japanese, and watching Anime.) So if I can enjoy them surely in the year 2015 your character too can enjoy them with out being Asian.
  • Names make us who we are. Do not use any names that are already in use. It is disrespectful for you to ask us to allow another person with the same name. Yes, in real life most of us with common names do have to deal living in a world with people who have the same first or last name. But in the HP books, other than Evans, every character has had a unique name. Only exception of repetitious last names will be for related characters. If a name is claimed, no ands, ifs, or buts, you can’t use it.
  • For questions regarding a new character, do not PM or IM us. Post a question in the general area. This allows all admins to see what is being asked.
  • No discussing your bio in IM or PM with an admin. This is because the other admins cannot see what is being said. Do not IM/PM us about things in the bio. Any comments, complaints, and ideas need to be discussed in the thread of your character. Don’t worry we delete all comments when bio is finished. Keep the conversation open by allowing all admins to see everything.
  • You must have a separate account for each character you play. So five characters calls for five different accounts.
  • Request your titles! If you don't we will not add them!
  • All OOC threads shall be placed in the appropriate forums! Too many OOC tags in a thread can distract from the post, they can be there, but keep them brief, please.
  • Before roleplaying you MUST be accepted...(Ahem)! This can be changed for special occasions, though we will be watching those who have been allowed to post without their apps.
  • You may reserve a canon character, once you have done so, you will have ten days to get your application in, unless other arrangements have been made.
  • Let us know when you will be away. This way it saves your character and us the time in wondering if you dropped off the face of the earth.
  • No crashing on others apps...tips, suggestions, etc., are welcomed. We the staff get busy and may fall behind, therefore if the members catch something feel free to point it out. But again remember it will be up to the staff for final approval.
  • Signatures, we do not want massive sized signatures, they take up loading time, etc. Keep it reasonable, it shouldn't go over 525x200, and that is a nice large size! Only one image per signature and it must be jpg or gif. Avatars should stay within 130x180 size, it can be a little longer, but no wider than 130!

    PLAYING RULES:
  • Bio MUST be approved before playing them in any of the forums!
  • Staff members are responsible for approving these apps, but please remember we have lives too! Do not flood our communications asking for us to look at your bio. With three of us, it will be taken care of in due time!
  • Each character must be played at least once every two weeks, but we would love to see more!
  • Do not bring OOC issues IC...no, no, and um, no. Keep it on the outside!
  • No arguing with the Staff! If we say no to a character, that's it...over, finished. Remember, we have to make decisions to keep the board going!
  • Animagus characters will be closely watched! Remember, there aren't that many out there!
  • Since this rpg takes place while Harry and company's children attend Hogwarts, there will obviously be relations to canon characters. However, we the administrators have comprised a list of the families with their children. If a character's child has already been spoken for, and there is no other one left; do not take it upon yourself to make up another son or daughter for a character. This will definitely not be allowed. If you know of a minor canon character, and would like to be their son or daughter, please inbox it with some info on the character to first to see if we approve.
  • We have a wanted section; these are for non-canon characters who you would like someone to play their relations. For instance you say your character has three brothers and sisters, you may leave a wanted sign in the area for someone to apply for the character. It's a lot of fun when other people play your siblings and family.
  • Please use our Applications, makes things pretty!
  • Staff is not responsible for what is taught in the classrooms, which is up to those that play Professors!
  • Character maximum is five! They can be a combination of canon and original, though remember, canons are restricted to three!
  • Post must be at least two paragraphs; this means at least ten sentences! No one liners! You will be warned, but re-abusers of this rule will loose their characters!
  • On the Application you will now see: Animagus: Please add, Kennilworthy Whisp (without this your application will be ignored!)


***Added note: Canon Characters are book characters and in our case the relatives. Non-Canon Characters are completely made up, and have no blood relationship to canon characters.

***Last note: Due to the large number of twins in Hogwarts, which given the size of Hogwarts is plausible, there will be no new twins that will be allowed. Please make all siblings younger or older.
