the rules to read
[/font][/color][li]i would prefer if you would look at the plot and such before joining. this is just so that you do not try and create one of the weasleys' or anyone from the trio. also I would like for you to read through these rules. which probably won't happen, and you're probably reading this and have already joined because you're searching for the password. if that is the case then we'll start from there. once you have registered, modify your profile to your desired character's FIRST and LAST name in all capitals. please do not use and symbols or numbers if they are for example: fred weasley 3 then use, FRED WEASLEY III roman numerals are used for the purpose.
[/li][li]also, when you go to register. please do not use a username like lily12355 it will be considered a threat for spam and you might be deleted. if you're not deleted then your account will be watched closely in fear of spam. we don't need spammers so just use your characters first, firstlast, or firstmiddlelast for the username. it's really that simple.
applying
[/li][li]so, you've made it this far with following the rules. you've only got a little ways to go and your golden. when you apply for the character, you need to pay attention to the app. you see we have three application templates from you too choose from. a short app, freestyle app, and the traditional template. most of you will probably go for the short template for it takes less time. that doesn't mean you'll be accepted any quicker. if i am curious about how your character is, then i may ask questions. so beware.
[/li][li]when you post and application use this format in the title. LAST, FIRST MIDDLE it's just to keep things organized and orderly. so it would be very much appreciated.
[/li][li]if your application is not complete, you may still post it in the pending board. just add (WIP), N/F, or N/D in the title spot. that way we don't deny you for an incomplete application. once you're finished with the app just remove the tag from the title. give the staff at least 3 days to check over it. if it isn't viewed within 3 days you may pm a staff member.
acceptance SAY CHEESE!
[/li][li]well, seems you do enjoy following the rules. to make things difficult, if you're looking the password you'll need to highlight all the rules and you'll see it plain as day. then you can place it in your application. better get it right, if not you'll be pended.
[/li][li]moving on, so you've been accepted? if not, then you'll just have to repost a new application and try again. once applications have been denied and obliviated, they will not return to the site in pending. that application has been erased from your memory, and you will not be able to have it moved back for editing. you get 5 chances for editing before it is denied, this may depend on how severe/important the edits have been. minor things you may get more chances.
[/li][li]don't forget those claims now. we have a few claims you need to pay attention to. some are adult claims and you do not have to pay attention to those. most of them are student claims, and we really need you to fill out all the claims that apply to you. if you do not and someone else picks it up, you're out of luck. simple as that, so make your claims or get over it.
[/li][li]before i go to this next section i wish to remind everyone to plot. make plots/shipper threads. it help your character a lot, because i myself always go through plot pages and try and match my character. some people may not have many posts, but that doesn't make your character like theirs. maybe someone has a wonderful plot idea, maybe a few people have lots of plot ideas. you don't want your pm box filled with them, do you? didn't think so. so i advise for everyone to post up a plot page/shipper, it really does help.
roleplaying
[/li][li]well let's get started on these shall we. to start off with NO-GOD MODDING. We can not stress this enough! god modding is a key rule to EVERY rp site you've been on. if you god mode, you're likely to be warned. after 5 warnings of god-modding you will be either banned, or the staff may discuss another punishment. if you do not know what god-modding is, just walk away from the site now. or google it or something. if you really don't know, then you shouldn't be roleplaying.
[/li][li]pregnancies, tortures, deaths, and so on... suicides really did not happen in harry potter. they really didn't, and if someone tries to commit, or posts' anything about one in an application. then you will be warned, asked to remove the content, and an application will be moved to obliviate leaving it automatically denied. if you don't know why, reread these rules. perhaps you didn't read them very well, or not at all? as far as pregnancy goes, both characters must agree, plus the main admin. the main admin will discuss things with other staff. once the staff has agreed, then we will inform both characters. we ARE a PG-13 rated site, but we will let you go a little further then most. Once touching starts to happen, please fade the scene out. most ask to fade when kissing happens. if you watch pg-13 movies though, they take it to touching and such before they end up fading the scene. now let's finish this tortures. torturing is very likely, since we do have death eaters. however excessive torturing upon ones' child is frowned upon. i'm sure it happened, most-definitely. if we feel an application is to sadistic we WILL ask you to edit it. so be careful what you type, and how bad it is. other things may be added if we feel people start creating applications' to often of one thing.
have fun!
[/li][li]we want you to have fun here. this is why we made the site. so come on down, and have fun roleplaying with everyone! remember, don't be whiney and drama-filled. no one likes a drama queen, or a cry baby![/li][/ul]
