Read the rules, or you die! No I'm kidding, but seriously, if you don't read them you'll be really confused at you might get in trouble.
The Unacceptables.
1. No God-Moding. I'll Eat You If You Do.
2. No Spamming. It's Quite Annoying.
3. No Bothering Staff. Yeah, Because We Have Lives Too.
4. No Begging To Be A Staff. I Chose My People For A Purpose.
5. Don't use poor Grammar. Use Spell Check!
6. No ONE LINERS! This is a site for intermediate thru advanced RPers.
7. Please, don't use chat talk liek dis, k?
8. No Anime Characters. It's Unrealistic.
9. There is no sexual content whatsoever. You can makeout for all I care, but do NOT go further than that, please.
The You Must Do It Acceptables
1. You Must Write In Third Person.
2. Be Active. Maybe Three or Four Times A Week.
3. Always Check The Canon/Charrie List Before Making Bios.
4. You Must Only Make One Character Per Account. Up to three accounts each.
5. Posts Must Be Ten Paragraphs Long, Fifteen Sentences Each. JUST KIDDING!!! Nah, Posts Must Be At LEAST twelve sentences, no exceptions.
6. You Must Listen To All Staff
7. You Must Never Argue or Fight In The C-box. Only In PMs, Thank you.
8. Be Respectful to everyone!
9. Swearing is allowed to an extent. We will not tolerate you swearing after every word.
Signatures, Avatars, & Banners
Signatures, Avatars, and Banners must be appropriate. Don't make avatars more than 100x100 and even if you try, it'll look like crap in the end so I am warning you now. Signatures can be any size as long as they don't stretch the page or as long as a staff member doesn't tell you otherwise. I give my staff permission to change the size of your siggies, avvies, and banners, so don't try anything silly.
Characters
Alright. Here's everyone's favorite part. Canon characters all belong to J.K. Rowling. Don't claim them as your own, for they are copy-righted. Now, in order to be accepted your profiles must be: detailed, creative, same as canon (if canon character), and you must receive two yays. If you don't receive two yays, you will be asked to make any changes that seem fit. If in fact you neglect your unfinished bio after two weeks, your bio will be moved to the dead threads board. Now, we do have a twist like a few other sites do. If you believe you can play a better character than the existing one, you may challenge any canon character that isn't taken by a staff member.
Characters such as Camilla Crabbe, Narcissa Malfoy, Hermione Granger, and Padma Patil may not be challenged, but any others such as Ronald Weasley, Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood and so on. You may NOT challenge an original character. Now, if you are challenging, the staff and I will collaborate and decide whether or not the handler gets to keep their character, or if the challenger will be the new character.
Activity Chat
Alright, so let's say that Mister Paul Revere made an account and it's been two weeks and he hasn't created a bio yet. What happens next?? I'm sorry but you'll be deleted unless you have a reason. Like another site states it, No activity=Deleted. Well let's say Mister Revere has made his bio and I have accepted it. Three weeks later, he hasn't posted in any thread nor has he bothered asking anyone to rp with him. That is an automatic deletion. People, here's the thing: If you don't post after three weeks, unless you state they you are gone somewhere, you are going to be deleted. I don't have time for people that aren't going to post.
And before we stop nagging you, here's a few more things. Let us, hopefully smart enough, be realistic. There shall be no emo people in Harry Potter. No Crack heads, or anything simply foolish. We surely don't like it and J.K. Rowling didn't put it in her books so there. If you want to argue or plead about the rules you may PM me, but I doubt you will win.
That said, let's start posting!
