Educational Decree #1
Do not advertise the site out of the proper area. With that, the post will be deleted as soon as it is seen or reported by an administrator.
Educational Decree #2
Please don't use chatspeak. This is a roleplaying site, so brb or lol is not accepted, for example, 'Kayla lol at Tom's joke". Roleplay like you're writing a story, or don't join the site at all if you seriously aren't going to roleplay correctly.
Educational Decree #3
Please post at least more than 1 paragraph. To avoid confusion, one paragraph is EIGHT sentences. This will add more interest and offer more understanding in the topic. If you are beginning a thread, please start it with 3-4 paragraphs so people will have an understanding of what this thread is about.
Educational Decree #4
Please don't post in Hogwarts in June, July, and August. If you look at the news fader, you will see what season it is, since students at Hogwarts usually don't go to school during this time. If you are a teacher, you may post, just not TEACH.
Educational Decree #5
Date your topic so people will know what date it is. Once you've created the thread, we would like you to date the thread using the form on the timeline, with a small plot(about 2 or 3 sentences) so people will know what it is about.
Educational Decree #6
Stick to the storyline of the thread. Don't go off topic, or else it will confuse people who just jump right in into the roleplaying. And of course, it is impossible for Slytherins to be friends with Gryffindors.
Educational Decree #7
If you are creating a thread, please post [open] or the name of the person you want to come and roleplay in brackets. Don't post if the thread doesn't say [open] or says your name. For example, if someone was creating a thread about buying a wand and it was only for one person, it would look something like this: Buying a Wand;;[Kayla Jones]. If you want it to be opened for everyone, then it'll go like this: Buying a Wand;;[Open]
Educational Decree #8
This is a HARRY POTTER roleplay site, not lord of the rings, not anything else. Just Harry Potter, so don't roleplay something not related to Harry Potter, because that will confuse other roleplayers. If you are roleplaying something else other than Harry Potter, this forum is not for you.
Educational Decree #9
Do not do inappropriate stuff, like sexual orientation, or anything inappropriate for people that haven't reached that level. This is a child friendly site, and if you are caught doing that, you will be banned forever off these forums. Kissing is only okay for years 3 and up, as younger kids consider it "yucky." Also, please don't swear, as you know about what kids do. And of course, no bad words, like the "F" word or something, even if you use ****'s.
Educational Decree #10
No Killing any of the students! If you would really want to have YOUR character die(not anyone else's), then we will have to figure out how it dies, or if there are anyone else. And of course, there are forms.
Educational Decree #11
Please no perfect characters! Nobody is perfect. If we find that you're acting all perfect and wonderful, you will receive a warning.
Educational Decree #12
Apply for must-haves before roleplaying, as it is needed and will be used.
Educational Decree #13
Obey the administrators and moderators. They know what they are doing and when they tell you to stop doing something, please stop.
Educational Decree #14
PLEASE DON'T DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT! If you really want to, then please PM an admin so then we can delete the account ourselves(without warning since once you PM, it's done), and delete all the threads you posted and made, so then people won't get confused on who you are.
Educational Decree #15
You may create multiple accounts, but we only will allow FIVE accounts since everyone will need to keep track of them. Cannon characters are needed to be the most active since they go on with the storyline.
Educational Decree #16
When talking out of character, please do ((OOC)) so people will know you are talking out of character. For example, if you want to say something about Quidditch, you can do something like this: ((OOC: What do you think of Harry Potter?)). You do not need to do that if it is in the OOC board.
Educational Decree #17
Please don't play other people's characters, unless you have permission. And by permission we mean that that character PMs Lily Snape and tells her that they will let so and so play her/his character in a thread. AND ONLY THAT THREAD.
Educational Decree #18
Do not post anywhere before applying(unless you are OOC roleplaying). That means no Quidditch positions, houses, etc, until you have been accepted. If you have read this far, keep reading, but post the password "Fawkes the Phoenix" in your application. You get 2 weeks to be unsorted- one week to OOC roleplay, and the other week to create an application, but we suggest you start an application before roleplaying.
Educational Decree #19
Please treat other members the way YOU want to be treated. Being rude or dishonest will result a warning.
Educational Decree #20
For graphics, we will only allow a signature image, maybe some words, a maybe a blinkie on your signature. Your avatar must be 100x100 size and your signature must be 500x200 pixels, so we won't stretch the board.
Do not advertise the site out of the proper area. With that, the post will be deleted as soon as it is seen or reported by an administrator.
