[style=text-align:center; font-weight:bold;]I. REGISTRATION
If you have read the rules and decided to join, you can register with anything you like. You will need to change your screen name to your character's First Last name in proper caps. All characters must get sorted at the Sorting Ceremony, no matter what year they would like to be or if they want to be an adult. Once you are sorted, you then have the option to make your character an adult by filling out the Adult Application. You will have two weeks to do this so that we don't have characters deciding months later that they don't like being a student.
II. ROLE PLAYING
The main point of a role play site is to role play. Shocker there! When you are role playing, the word count must be loosely 300 words. I say loosely because if just has to be around there. If you have 289 words, that's okay. But if you have 250 or less, that's not okay. And don't make a habit of going under, really do try to get 300 or more. It's not that hard. Also, keep things PG-13. I shouldn't have to explain what that means, you should know. If it would not be in a PG-13 movie, it shouldn't be on the site. As well as that, all major plots must be cleared by the admins, even if it was in the character's past.
III. ACTIVITY
You must must must stay active. It is not acceptable to join and then never be on ever again. Let's define activity, why don't we? If someone has been on but has not posted for one month, they are inactive. When you go inactive, your claims are removed and are up for grabs. That said, for every two girls you have, you must have a guy. The code word is panteloons. Log in with all of your accounts and post, so that your claims are safe and everyone will be happy.
IV. GRAPHICS
Although the site will allow you to have avatars bigger than this, please don't have any that are bigger and 150x200px. That ends up stretching things and that's no good. Also, signatures cannot be more than 500px wide and 400px tall. Thanks, DON'T STRETCH THE BOARD.
V. PLAY BYS
On this site, we do not accept internet famous models. As much as we all love Susan Coffey, Zoe Kimball and the like, many of them have asked for their pictures not to be manipulated. So rather than making a list of the specific ones, we are banning them all. Second, no anime faces please. Last time I checked, you don't see anime characters running around Hogwarts. Also not accepted are the celebrities that play the main characters in Harry Potter. Use your best judgement on who the main ones are. Obviously the main trio, and their friends (Nevile, Luna, Ginny, etc.). Don't use them please! Thanks.[/style]
