[I took these off another site... they do the trick though...i got them from Hogwarts: Intensified ]
1. Anyone under the age of thirteen in not permitted to join this roleplaying site. Anything could happen on this site and there will not be people moderating it for younger viewers.
2. No controlling other characters other than your own. Of course, you can control made up characters (ex. store clerks), but you can not control other roleplayer's characters. Ex:
Rose went over and looked at Hugo.
"How are you?" she asked.
He blinked at her twice. "Fine. I'm just fine."
You have to allow the person you are role playing with the opportunity to decide what they want to do, not what you want them to do.
3. Please, do not swear too much. Swearing is fine, as long as you keep it to a minimum. Teenagers and adults swear. It's perfectly acceptable. As long as it's not a swear every other word you write.
4. This is pretty much a continuation of the above rule. Do not bully other users. Of course, characters like Harry and Draco will bully each other, but they don't degrade each other. That's just mean and doesn't make it fun for either of the roleplayers.
5. Please understand the Harry Potter world. If you have only seen the movies, I advice you to not to join. If you have only read the books once or twice, it's still probably not a good idea. Please try to have a decent understanding of the world.
6. If you are going to be absent for a period of time (over a month), please let me know in the "Taking a Break" thread and tell me for how long and why. If you don't want to tell me why, that's fine. If you know you won't be on for a very long time (ex. over 3 months), and you have a main character, please give your character up so that someone else can claim them. This isn't necessary, just nice.
7. There is a fifteen word minimum because I hate spam.
8. No spamming.
9. No advertising other sites whatsoever, unless you post in the Affliates thread.
10. Use proper spelling and grammer when making posts. I will let it go every now and then, but I can't let it go forever. If your posts don't contain proper spelling and grammer, it makes the post look sloppy and amateur.
11. These are examples on how to not write a post:
I walked over to the door.
You walked over to the door.
The only acceptable way of writing actions is with your character's name or with s/he. Ex:
Ginny walked over to the door.
She walked over to the door.
12. No Mary Sues. That's right. No people with no flaws, completely beautiful, have amazing powers or is something like Voldemort's daughter or an animagus. If you would like to be something special, pm me what and why you would like to have a certain power and I will consider it. I will only allow so many people to have special powers, and just because you pm me first, doesn't mean you'll get it. It all depends on how I view your character.
13. You have to be a canon character (character from the book.) No made up characters allowed whatsoever, unless you are applying for a student in Durmstrang or Beauxbatons.
14. Minimum of 2 posts a week unless you have left a message in "Taking a Break."
15. If you decide to quit, you must pm me. It's really annoying having people quit and you not knowing.
16. No chat speak.
17. If there will be sexual interaction (anything more than kissing/snogging), please put a warning in the title. Ex. "Hanging Out With Ginny, WARNING"
18. Do not beg or ask for House Points. If you do this, you will be docked House Points.
19. No killing off characters or becoming pregnant without my permission. This is just so that things don't become out of hand.
20. Please don't make this boring. Do not make lame posts like, "she walked over to the tree and took a seat, looking around." Try to make your character do something. Even if your character is just observing something, make them think. Just to keep things interesting.
21. If you don't care who enters your thread, either title your thread "Title (Open)" or just "Title." If you want only certain people in the thread, make your title of the thread, "Title (Character 1)" or "Title (Character 1, Character 2, Character 3)" and so on. You can always change the thread's title later. If the thread ends, change the title of the thread to "Title (Closed.)"
22. You can have more than 1 character, but don't be ridiculous with it. Don't create like, 27 characters so that you pretty much rule the forum. Remember, you have to keep all accounts active.
23. No racist or sexist posts or messages.
24. Use double brackets (()) or [[]] or {{}} for out of character speak. Please only use this when necessary, like saying something like, ((Can you make a new thread?)) or ((Does Hermione have brown eyes?)).
25. Use actual sentences, so asterisks. Example, no *Ginny walks over to the door and slams it shut.*
26. The c-box and forum are two different things. That is why roleplaying is not allowed in the cbox, unless you're just kidding around. Any roleplaying in the cbox is just for fun and has nothing to do with the roleplaying in the forum.
27. NO DATING YOURSELF! If you have one boy charrie and one girl, they are not allowed to date!
28. There are no such thing as emos, preps, goths, punks or anything in HP universe. Don't like it? Leave.
