Site Rules

1. When registering, please make sure that your username is your character's full name with spaces. So, for example, Kendera James.


2. Avatars must be of actual people. No flowers, animal, anime/manga characters, etc. For celebrities, make sure you check the Claimed List first.


3. If you want to use a last name but someone already has that name, you will need to ask their permission to use it. We don't want anyone falling out needlessly. If you are uncertain as to whether your name is taken or not, feel free to owl me and I'll let you know as soon as I can.


4. THE CHATBOX MUST REMAIN A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL WHO ARE ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME. This means, if cussing bothers a person a lot, be understanding enough to refrain. If a certain sort of humor, particular that of a lewd nature, bothers someone, save it for another time. WE HAVE HANDLERS OF ALL AGES, FOLKS. They need to feel free to chat as well. Most of all, if something does bother you, say so outright. If someone tells you, 'Please, don't', kindly listen. There's no reason we shouldn't all be able to get along, here. Just be understanding of one another.


5. All powers and special abilities MUST be cleared by an Admin. If in doubt, ask.


6. Swearing... Honestly? I don't really care if you cuss. All I ask is that you be circumspect. Remember that we do have younger members. This is a PG-13 site.


7. No pedophilia of any kind. Pedophilia is against Forumotion TOS, as well as here. Think before you write something; if it can be taken as pedo-ish behavior, even a little, don't write it. If we receive a complaint, you will be warned. After two warnings, any offending characters will be banned.


8. Sexual content... Well, first off, sex is banned to any and all students. No exceptions. Otherwise, I think this is where 'be circumspect' comes in again. And maybe post warnings at the beginning of the thread.


9. You have to be active on this site. If your can't post at least twice a week, then please don't join. Things will be moving fast and you wont be able to keep up otherwise. Also, this will stop other characters from getting to know yours, which isn't fair. You can have as many characters as you can keep up with, but any that become inactive risk deletion. If for some reason, you can't post for a while, let us know by owling an Admin or by posting in the Away Thread.


10. Students are not allowed to perform magic outside of school without permission from an Admin. Students also may not kill anyone.


11. Cruelty to animals is not allowed.


12. Abuse of one character by another is allowed to a certain extent. It is up to the person playing the character whether they allow your character to abuse them. No muggle torture is allowed unless details are kept to a minimum.


13. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. No student should be able to learn a spell the first time every time or excel at all their classes..


14. Please avoid posting one-liners. In order for this site to work we need good storylines. Posts should be a minimum of 100 words. You can, however, post one-liners when you are in OOC (out of character) chat.


15. No god-moding is allowed unless you've been given permission by the character you wish to GM. God-moding means that you write in your post what another person's character does/is doing.

For example:

'James pulled out his wand and cast Avada Kadavra instantly killing his enemy.'

This is not allowed. The person playing the character has the right to decide whether their character dies or is hit by a spell or not.

'James pulls his wand and casts the Avada Kadavra curse on his enemy, hoping it hit them.'

This is acceptable, as it allows the other character to decide whether they dodge it or get hit.


16. Your character cannot be invincible. They can be tough and bad-ass, but everyone should get hit by a spell sooner or later. The Killing Curse can be dodged as many times as desired, however. It's your right to keep your character going as long as you like.


17. No bullying. Everyone has a right to be here. Obviously, some characters are evil - do keep that in mind.
