[li]Proceed with caution. You have to be over 13 to be on a Proboards site. If the administrators get information that you are under 13 you will be banned from the site and reported to the Proboards staff. We are working on the honor system, people!
[/li][li]I will allow limited swearing and limited violence. If you are in doubt over whether it's allowed either pm me or don't post it. This is not a porn site. No pictures or you will be banned and reported immediately.
[/li][li]No graphic sex. If you get into it too deep in the dorms then I want you to end it and then come back after. (Lily reached over to take off his shirt... Looking over, Lily tried to think it had been a mistake.)
[/li][li]Admins are law. If you have a problem with them, you can come to me. Do not question what my final ruling is. Do not ask to be one unless I ask for more.
[/li][li]Be active. I'm not going to say you have to post once a week or anything but if I feel that you're gone or gone too much then I'll remove your character from the roster.
Character Rules
[/li][li]You are allowed as many characters as you want but you must keep them active. If they are not active you will be PMed a warning. After that warning one of your characters will be deleted, starting with canons.
[/li][li]For every girl you make, you must make a boy. You cannot make just five girls. You have to make a girl, then a boy, and then another girl. This does not count for boys. You can make as many boys as you wish.
[/li][li]Every character must have their own account. No exceptions.
[/li][li]Your display name must be that of your character and just the name. If I change it then do not change it again.
[/li][li]Marriages and pregnancies MUST be approved by an administrator before it happens.
Posting Rules
[/li][li]Your post must be in third person. That is
Lily looked around the Great Hall.
I looked around the Great Hall.
[/li][li]Your post must be past tense. That is
Lily looked around the Great Hall.
Lily looks around the Great Hall.
[/li][li]Your character does have flaws. You are not invincible. You can only control your character(s) and your own character(s) ONLY.
[/li][li]Be NICE! I don't mind having enemies IN-CHARACTER but try to be courteous to other players. If you have a complaint against another player then pm an administrator with a link to a thread. Don't take it personally if you're insulted in-character. On that note, don't go overboard insulting in-character. Seriously, it's not rocket science.
[/li][li]Respect everybody.Your differences are not an issue. If you are disrespecting somebody and an administrator catches you you will be banned. This is your first and ONLY warning.
[/li][li]No one-liners. I'm not going to give you a minimum post because you're not in preschool. However, I do want to see decent sized posts. If this rule isn't followed I will be forced to put a word limit.
[/li][li]Stay in character. I do not want to see a Gryffindor walking around buying dark arts items in Knockturn Alley.
[/li][li]In relation to the above, stay in your own classes. A first year isn't allowed in Divination. Please take a look at the schedules and follow them.
Application Rules
[/li][li]Canon character applications will only be allowed to sit for three days before it's deleted and the information sent to you. Original character applications will be allowed to sit for a week.
[/li][li]You canNOT start posting until are you have been approved.
[/li][li]If an administrator denies your application, you have the above time-span to fix it to be approved. After three times, you will be permanently denied.
Graphic Rules
[/li][li]Signatures are not required. They must be smaller than 500x250.
[/li][li]Avatars are required. They must be a celebrity, no animation and no 'real people.' If you don't have a celebrity two days after your application has been approved, I will give you one.
[/li][li]Every character must have their own celebrity with the exception of identical twins.
[/li][li]You must claim your celebrity in the celeb. claim thread or else you are not allowed to use that celebrity.
[/li][li]You can not use excessive images when posting. If you wish to link to your outfit you may by linking a word. You may also post 1-3 icons {meaning 100x100} at the top of your post but that's it.
[/li][li]If there is any nudity, drugs, or pornographic images in your picture then your account will be deleted without notice. Don't even think about it.
