THE • OFFICIAL • RULEBOOK
[/font][/center]REGISTRATION
[/font]t h e . s i g n . u p s[/center][/color][/font][/size]
APPLYING 101[/font]
You can sign up with any username you want to have, but once you decide on your characters name, please change your display name. sure, this can realistically wait until you are approved or post your application, but if you plan on filling out the app before posting it, then please change your name accordingly and make sure that your display name is all uppercase letters and your full character name. Please do not put punctuation in your display name. As for how many characters you can have, you can have as many as you'd like, but the staffers all ask if you can keep your character genders in ratio, so we won't have to put a ban on a certain gender.

GRAPHICS NOTICE[/font]
On the note of applying, please post your application within a week tops of registering. Also, please fill out the application carefully and do not change the code. We'd also like for people to use people as play bys, and not drawn characters. No anime allowed. Since we're using people, there is one short thing that the staffers ask for. And that is don't try and pass off your character as 22 if the play by is over 50, and vice versa. Try and make the play by as close to your character age as possible.

ACTIVITY LEVELS[/font]
We would love everyone on this site (and by love, i mean require) everyone to have a 125x175 avatar - the limit - and a signature of their choice, as long as it does not exceed a width of 500 pixels. The banner can be any size height though. If you can't make graphics, there is a graphics board where you can request some and people are always willing to oblige. If you can't get someone on here to do it, go to a site such as CAUTION. You have to join, but it's worth it for all the graphics you can get as well as help with anything else.

ROLEPLAYING 101[/font]
We will not be posting activity checks weekly, though there will be one every month for example. We would like for people to at least log on daily to keep the site looking active - even if it's just to check your character pm's or post an absense. You don't have to post a roleplay post everyday if you're busy, but we do ask that people try and post at least once a week any less than that please post in the absenses board. People who do not log in for two weeks will most likely be deleted, along with their character(s). You may have as many characters as you can handle, but if you choose to make more than one, try to make one boy for every two girl characters you have or vice versa. Please also no more than one character per account.
t h e . p o s t . c o u n t s[/center][/color][/size][/font]
We know everyone has a bad day every now and then, but on how we do, we have a posting minimum of 150 words a post, and that's not really that big of a task. It's not even two fully detailed paragraphs. The staff will be paying attention to those who consistently do not make the word minimum, and if we catch this, we will talk to you and maybe warn your account if it carries on. We are an all levels role play site, but try to keep the post on par with word count.
THE OTHER RULES
[/font]a n y t h i n g . e l s e[/center][/color][/size][/font]
This is a harry potter roleplay, so magic is allowed, for obvious reasons. but please try to remember the hogwarts school rules if you are roleplaying a student. For example, curfew is 10. If you're caught after that, then a professor may just catch you. Also please note that only third years and onwards are allowed to visit hogsmeade, so no seconds years can be found here or a staffer will burst in and put them in detention. Other than that ... if you choose to join this site, thank you! We really appreciate it and we, the staffers, would like to get to know each and every member, so don't hesitate to introduce yourself in the ooc boards and cbox!© the layout is copyrighted to bethers is a badger ?! of caution, and freddy hart of magical mayhem.
