If you wish to RP on this site, here are a few rules to live by. (All rpers must fill out an application unless special circumstances require otherwise. Adoptables. Some canons will require an audition, they will be marked on the canon list.)
1. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT God Mode! I will not tolerate any of that. If you don't know what god modeing is, I'll tell you. God moding is when you make your character practically invincible. Nobody is invincible, even Voldemort and Dumbledore have weaknesses. Also, you do not control other characters unless you play them or have permission.
2. Keep the language to a PG-13 level. Proboards rules, I do not want the site shut down. List of allowed words: Damn, Ass, Bitch. No Assh*le, MF. Bloody hell always works good.
3. I will allow Slash relationships However! Not if they are with canon characters. Unless J.K. herself says that a character is gay, they are not. (Dumbledore being the only one so far she had admitted to being gay.)
4. Student teacher relationships are NOT allowed, it's against the rules of the school and has not happened in the books, nor the movies. In other words, it is not Canon. However any student is free to have a teacher crush. (Seeing as that did happen in Chamber of Secrets.)
5. No Mary sues. If the family member is not listed either in one of the books or on J.K. Rowling's site, do not make a character related to a Cannon chara. Example. Harry Potter is an only child. He has no brothers, no sisters. Nor does Draco Malfoy. It is however possible that Draco could have Malfoy or Black cousins, which are acceptable. Think of the family lines before creating relatives.
The Weasley's however do have other relatives that are not mentioned in the book but are on Rowling's site. They are open game. Arthur for example is one of three brothers. If you want any other info on characters visit www.jkrowling.com and go to the extras link and click on characters or edits.
6. No one liners. Keep the one line talk to the general board, or the chat. One liners are works of laziness, and are annoying. So please no one liners. Three in a row will get you banned. Word count is 200-300 words minimum. Feel free to post more than that.
7. Keep explicit things out of the rp. It is a pg-13 board. If you want that sort of thing find another forum. I do not wish to violate the T.O.S. and it is not part of the world of Harry Potter.
8. If you find a board that is password protected. Contact me, or the moderator for the password. These are set for a reason. However, the kitchen password is easily guessable. If you can guess it, you can enter. If not. Ask somebody who knows it. I will provide it to the characters that know how to get in there in the book. Same goes for the Room of Requirement. (Small note, house common room passwords are fairly easy to guess.)
9. Follow all rules, and we shall get along fine. You will receive up to, 2 warnings, the third will be exclusion. I'm not asking too much.
10. This is the biggie. Please, spell check before posting, and please, please use proper grammar, and full sentences. I would greatly appreciate it and so would the fellow rpers. It makes it extremely difficult to understand things like that.
11. There is no limit to the amount of characters you play as long as you can keep up with them all, and create separate accounts for each one. If you submit an application, add 'I Solemly Swear I Am Up To No Good.' at the end with the same caps as I used, as proof that you read these rules.
12. We do have a security monitor on this site, as well as a few canon monitors *Our friendly Human HP Wikis* that will be watching for the rules to be followed. In relation, school rules also will be enforced. They can be found in the student handbook. So, if you are about to have a duel in the corridors or the grounds, you can be sure that Mrs. Norris or Filch may just make an appearance, so watch yourselves! HAPPY ROLE PLAYING!
