TO KNOW HOW THINGS RUN ON THIS SITE,YOU FIRST HAVE TO READ THE RULES.And here they are:
1.NO SPAMMING,PORNOGRAPHY,INNAPROPIATE LANGUAGE,GODMOTHING,HACKING,DISCRIMINATION,RACISM AND ONE LINERS!If you break ANY of these rules:
-for the first time: you will receive a warning,and your karma will be modified down to 0.
-the second time you will go down a step,on the yerarhy scale;which means that if you are one of the Heads,you will only be a Professor from that day on,no exceptions!Plus that I will have modified all your posts down to 0 and you might even be banned one week or two from the site!
-the third times you're banned!FOR GOOD!
Please DO NOT steal any of our content or ideas. Most of the ideas (e.g. common room names, school history, forum names) are original and made up. Do not take any pictures, avatars, signatures, layouts, text or anything else that does not belong to you, without having the owner's permission beforehand. If you choose to do so without permission, you will be sent to Azkaban, have the material deleted and face a possible expulsion.
2.Like I said before,on this RPG Forum aren't accepted one liners,godmothing and all of the above.
Example of good post:
"Mary pulled out her sword and gently touched it with her long,rosy fingers.The silver sword was a gift from her parents,with which she had killed many before...Kean wasn't going to be an exception from the rule,since he had double-crossed her too.And traitors received the ultimate penalty in the Vampire city.Prepare yourself! she thought switching her sword from one hand to the other."
It's not the best,but I've had to deal with many bad posts in the past,and even in the present.Please try to follow this type of post,or we will have a chat,in private!We realize that not everyone's first language is English, but please try to keep the spelling and grammar errors to a minimum. It's extremely difficult trying to RP, when the writer has no sense of grammar whatsoever.
3.No net talking,such as u,4 u,h8,luv U 2,C U etc.Net speak is prohibited in RP threads.
Please post proper grammar, including periods, commas, and capitalization.
4.After you post in the "I have read the rules!" thread(by the way,it is NECESSARY TO DO IT!),you can go post at The Sorting or at the Applications.
5.Don't make your characters perfect,cause everybody(including I) hate people who can't get hit,be hurt or even die!It's exhausting to fight against such a person.Also,you can't know spells like Rictumsempra,Serpensortia or even Sectumsempra if you aren't above 17.
6.You must post a complete description of your character in maximum a week after you have been sorted.Failure to do so will result in a chat with the Headmistress.
7.THE MAXIMUM LIMIT OF CHARACTERS YOU CAN HAVE IS 5!If you wish to have your 5th character,then you must apply for it.This rule bends for admins,since those who have that position are worthy.Still,EVERYONE must post in the 'Characters' thread,saying how many characters he/she has.You can also post the names of all your charies,but it is only neccesary to post how many you have.If I,for starters,have 1,I will modify my post each time and say how many current characters I have.
8.Be active!Two weeks absence without previous notification will result in a suspension from my site.
9.If you have a problem and can't make it on the site for a couple of days or even some weeks,YOU MUST post at the 'Absences' board and post there or at least PM me.It is neccesary!I will not be held responsible if you decide to go for a couple of days and,for example,you have to teach a class.I will not hesitate and fire you!Sorry.
10.Swearing is allowed,but if I see <f**k> or any other censored words in each sentence,I will ban you for one week. ;D
11.Respect other people and try not to get into a fight each time you go for a walk!Aggresive characters will be deleted or warned!
12.No royalty.Try to keep your character's name(and your username) as normal as everyone else does!
13.Signatures must be kept relatively short, using four or five lines of text one one medium graphic. Avatars can not exceed over 65 x 65 in size as we've limited the size of them. We do reserve the right to remove any signatures or avatars we find offensive. We also reserve the right to delete without warning signatures that are too big.
14.'Hogwarts Future Secrets' cannot and will not be responsible for any trojan horses, viruses, worms, or any other destructive files that users send to you. You open these at YOUR OWN risk.
15.Have fun!Tip: place a smiley face at the end of your application and post in the 'I have read the rules!' thread, to see that you've read the rules.
1.After you have made or responded to a thread,you are obliged to keep posting back and not lose track,otherwise confusions might show up!Nevertheless,give others the chance to write for themselves in the storyline.I am aware that some people love talking to themselves,maybe you'll see me do that sometimes(or not!),but,then again,it's no fun to others.So,unless there's a plot thingy,you aren't allowed to make a thread and let only your characters post!
2. Students must take classes. To move on to your next year, you must take Charms,DADA,Potions,Herbology and Transfiguration, but you can be in as many elective classes as you want.After you have signed-up for an elective class,you are obliged to attend each class,do homework or any other work that class involves.You can't be more powerful than your fellow professors,so please don't post invented spells or anything like it.They are trained wizards and are able to supervise,train and protect you themselves!
3. Teachers must teach a lesson every 1- 2 weeks, except when we have holidays or breaks.
4. Teachers,head boys/girls and prefects can take away points from students if they're doing something wrong!
5.Teachers can take and give students up to 70 points!They must have a pretty good reason!
6.Prefects and head boys/girls can take up to 25 points from a student!Attention,they can't give points!Good resoning!
7.No pregnant or raped girls,please!No,sex isn't allowed,because I really hate seeing stuff like that,you can't know for sure how old any of the other members of this site is!You can say that you've spent the night together with someone,maybe even give some details,but that's it!
8.Stick to your character!If you believe you are able to apply for a canon character,make sure you don't hang out with people that your character wouldn't approve of.If I see you not respecting your character's traits or personality,then I will give that character to someone else,who is more worthy of it.
9.You must be sure from the start if you're character is a canon or original one!no long lost relatives of Harry Potter,the Malfoys or stuff like that.No X-men,Lycans,Charmed Ones,Anime Characters,Mutant Xs or anything related to them.We are a magical community!
Also,if in the 'Canon Children' thread an original character which you want doesn't appear,don't bother PMing any of the staff members about it.Anything regarding the site has to be approved by me!
10.Before a character is allowed to assume special powers,he/she must post a Character DEscription and apply for that power.The form must be approved by an admin,and remember that certain powers will not be given to you from the first time or given to you at all!i don't want to see a school full of Animagi,Parselmouths,Metamorphagi or stuff like that!
11.A wizard/witch can marry and have halfbreeds only after their 17th birthday!Sure I would possibly disapprove if any of the canon characters would get pregnant!I'd have toi change the plot!
12.Don't harass the other members,or the staff!Failure to comply will result in your expulsion from this school!
13.Houses: if you want to post in someone's post,just say that you are knocking at the door/gate,don't simply get in as if you were at home!Otherwise,your post will be deleted!
14.Death Eaters,Aurors in training must be above 17.
15.You can PM the Headmistress for special situations,but ANY DECISIONS THERE IN ARE FINAL!
These rules might be harsh,but they must be followed,for the well-being of all.Any further modifications might be done.Make sure to scann this board from every once in a while!Thank you and please PM or email me for any questions or suggestions.The rules will be updated periodically!
