[/b][/size]CONCERNING YOUR ACCOUNT AND PROFILE
♥ You must have a 100x100 avatar and a signature no larger than 580x250.
♥ Both your avatar and your signature should feature your chosen play-by.
♥ Your signature should be centred and should not contain anything unrelated to your character e.g. dragon eggs.
♥ Your display name must be your character's first name, the first letter of their middle name followed by a full stop and their last name, all of which should be in capital letters and contain no other symbols.
♥ You must create a separate account for each character that you have and should post using the corresponding account.
CONCERNING ADVERTISING[/b][/size]
♥ Only members of staff are permitted to advertise for this forum.
♥ Any adverts posted outside of the Floo Network will be deleted. This includes the chatbox and your profile.
♥ Do not PM other members asking them to join your forum.
CONCERNING YOUR CHARACTERS[/b][/size]
♥ Do not use a claim unless you have been listed in the appropriate thread.
♥ Please make sure that details don't conflict with other details e.g. if you are making the sibling of a Muggle-born then you can't be a pure-blood.
♥ You must have staff permission if you want your character to get married, become pregnant, or die. No characters younger than 17 will be permitted to get married and none younger than 15 will be permitted to become pregnant.
♥ Character profiles aren't required but they are highly recommended to bring more depth and explanation to your character. Applications however are required.
♥ Please vary your characters or bans may have to be placed on certain houses, ages, etc.
♥ You may create up to 5 characters and if you can keep them all active and would like to create more, you can PM a member of staff for permission. You will need to send a PM for each additional character you would like to create, but you may have no more than 9 characters in total.
♥ Your character's wand should be no shorter than 7 inches and no longer than 16 inches. This website is particularly helpful when choosing your wand.
CONCERNING OTHER MEMBERS[/b][/size]
♥ Respect everyone whether you agree with their point of view or not.
♥ Bullying or discrimination will result in your immediate removal from the forum.
♥ Remember that the best spell is Veneficus, regardless of what anybody else tells you.
CONCERNING POSTS AND CONTENT[/b][/size]
♥ Powerplaying will not be permitted. What happens to the character is the decision of who plays them, so if you don't play them, you don't decide.
♥ Please write all posts in the third person and past tense, with the exception of diaries, emails, etc. which may be written in the first person.
♥ Swearing will be permitted in moderation though please don't abuse this or it will be disallowed.
♥ All posts should be at least 200 words long, non-inclusive of coding.
♥ Correct spelling, grammar and punctuation is appreciated and encouraged.
♥ Please ensure that it is clear when your character is thinking and when they are speaking. This could be done by using different speech marks, bold and italics, etc.
♥ If your characters are going to have sex then it must not be played out on the forum. Your thread should 'fade to black' and if you must play it out, then you should do so by other means such as PM, email, etc.
♥ Drama is acceptable in moderation, it's what makes roleplaying fun, but don't go too over the top that it's difficult to keep track of what's happening.[/justify][/blockquote]
