Rules
** You must be 13 or older to participate on any forum! According to ProBoards I am obliged to ban those underage unless I recieve parental permission **
1) Please don't post false, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, sexually oriented, threatening, or anything invasive to a person's privacy. Once again, I will be forced to ban you if you do any of these things. YOu will recieve a warning first before being banned.
2) Try not to spam. This means double posting and advertising! This means no advertising sites unless on the designated board! You will be given a warning before I ban you. Also, no signature advertising. I will delete any signature advertising and warn you about it before I ban you.
4) Do not share your information with anyone! Anything posted under your name you will face the charges. Keep everything in a strict roleplay business on site, for it is a role-playing game after all.
5) Any unappropriate Wizard-names will be changed by me or I will ask you to change it! You do not have the say on if your name is appropriate. If you refuse to change your name I will ban you after said warning is given.
6) Pictures or words in the signature may be removed if they are unappropriate or if they are too large. If you keep putting the pic back you will be banned.
7) Please show everyone respect. Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
8) I may ban anyone I feel that has broken any of these rules. So if you dont agree with these rules then you do not have to participate at this wonderful school.
9) Professors or any other Wizard will not and may not require you to e-mail info, homework, etc. to them. You have the right to request a different route of communication (post, pm). If you have hidden e-mail, it will not remain that way if you e-mail another. Please use your judgement. Our Headmistress is very protective of our privacy, as you should be too.
10) No sexual content is to be displayed on the boards. Kissing, hugging and holding hands is allowed, to a limit on the type of kissing. This means no intense making out, petting, etc.
11) You can not RolePlay for another person. You can't make another persons choices for them. If you ask a question, you will have to wait for that person to respond.
12) You may only RP in third person status.
Examples:
I walked into the room << wrong
I walk into the room << wrong
My character walks into the room << wrong
My character walked into the room << right
So in other words you say: "John Doe" walked into the room and not "I".
Here is an example of the RPing style that should be used:
Hermione walks into the Transfiguration Classroom and takes a seat next to Ron. "Hello Ron how are you today?" She then takes out her huge book and smiles slyly at him. "I just finished my homework for the next two weeks. Don't tell me you haven't even begun on tonights!" She then pulled out a quill and prepared to take notes.
13) Please stay away from one liners or just one sentences. Add more detail to it. Make at least each post 3 to 5 sentences. It's not that hard and if you do more that's fine too. What your thinking, feeling, doing, etc. This makes roleplaying much more interesting.
14) You can't marry unless you are a graduate. Once married, you still cannnot roleplay to the extent past the occasional kissing. This said, rule number 10 applies here!
15) Please do not use other people’s characters that they have tried so hard as to make. If you are found using someone else's character you will be banned.
19) Act how your house would act if you were to be put in it. I’m not saying you cant make friends with other people in other houses... But Slytherin act like Slytherins, no one wants to see a Slytherin acting like a Hufflepuff, its just wrong.
20) Stick to the topic posted, Thats why we have ooc. boards and polls people!
21) No Out of Character [OOC.] chat in every post. That is why we have a OOC room. This means you can't insult someone with your thoughts!
22) Stay on topic and keep it related to Harry Potter. This means no lotr, teen titans, x-men, hellokitty, etc . . . This is a Harry Potter roleplay site, not every single cartoon ever made by Warner Bros, Sanrio, etc...
23) Celebrity names or Harry Potter book/movie are not allowed on this site. I am the only one from now on that can give you the permission to use these names. Dont presume that I will.
24) All characters must have a first AND last name. This must be used in your Wizardname. You can not simply state a first and/or last name. It must be evident in your profile and Wizardname. Professor's need only a last name in their Wizard name if it states "Professor (Last name)". They will need a first name though as well (It just does not have to be visible in the Wizardname). This rule holds for all Wizards, new and/or 'original' Wizards. See rule 23.
25) There will be no religious and/or political disccusion of any countries nature ever for it is strictly forbidden. In some areas of the world, Harry Potter is banned because they believe he is Satanic.
26) The following topics are forbidden. It is impossible to be Voldemort's child, lover, cousin or any other characters for that matter. This is AFTER the Harry Potter Books. You cannot be any sort of creature ie. Vampire, Werewolf, Fairy etc. without the permissionn of the WHTeam. Sorting Hat Password is: ireadtherules
27) In relation to rule number 22, you may not bring in anything non-harry Potter to the rpg at anytime. Some examples are but not limited to: Trolls from LOTR, humanoids of any species, creatures from Starcraft, etc. Also, please reStudent, Hogwarts students were only able to bring cats, toads, rats, and owls as pets to Hogwarts. If you wish to bring in a pet not on that list please contact a WHTeam Student and they will get back to you.
28.) In the harry potter books, house elves were not known to be at Hogwarts until book number three. This is due to the fact that they choose to work in the kitchens, while people are sleeping, and generally when no one can see them. Thus, if you are going to include house elves in your post, please reStudent how they act. They are not slaves, nor can you own your own house elf at school. They are also not your personnal pack rat.
29.) There is no underage od of age smoking, drinking of alcoholic beverages, hardcore drugs, profanity, nudity, indecent behaivor or exposure, fighting unless at dueling and with the supervision of an adult, killing, suicides or attempts there of, creature sacrifices or abuse of any kind, weaponry ie(swords, arrows, lances, guns, axes, etc), or disrespectfulness towards an authority figure.
30.) There are no canon characters allowed here at Wild Hogwarts. Also, there is to be no use of other character names from other shows, books, movies, etc. If name is found to be that of non-original origin, will be deleted.
31.) Have Fun!
