out of character rules .
♠ Respect everyone, be they staff, another member, a guest. There should be no reason for fighting in the C-Box or the boards. Name-calling especially, because really how much more childish can you get? Treat others as you wanted to be treated.
♠ Don't spam. Spamming is one you post pointless messages more than once; this includes in the same post. Posts should always be at least one full sentence, unless you're in the arcade area or in the C-Box and you should always type out your full words. No chat speak.
♠ Don't bother other members via PM, especially not if you're trying to get them to join your site. If they want you to PM them the link, they'll tell you. If they don't ask you to, just post in the advertising board. Maybe they'll be interested in it and join. If they're not, then that's too bad.
in character rules .
♠ You must post at least 300 words in character. That may seem like a lot, but it really isn't. We have have a little word count installed on the site that shows up at the bottom of every post, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out how much you've got. In this post, the rules, so far there are already 252 words.
♠ If you change the colour of your post, please make sure it's something legible and won't make everyone's eyes bleed. If it isn't legible, and does make eyes hurt, no one will respond. However, colouring your font at all is looked down upon, because if we change the skin and your font doesn't show up, it's a major inconvenience to the person who's trying to respond to you.
♠ There is a limit of one character to an account, so that people will have an idea of who they're RPing with, and also so that we admins can give you a pretty coloured name once your character has been sorted and accepted. :D There is also a limit of four accounts per person. Maybe if you're extra good and super active we'll make an exception, but quality is more important than quantity. Also, make sure your display name is the same as your character's name.
♠ When you're creating your character, it's important to have some faults. Keep the personality somewhat realistic - nobody's perfect. And for appearances, even witches and wizards have imperfections. Not everyone's huge, battle-scarred, handsome, beautiful, etcetera. Don't be afraid to make a grotesque, deformed character. Those are the ones I like best.
♠ No powerplaying: Powerplaying is when your character does something to another character without their permission, for example, "Arden leapt at Clash and hit him in the shoulder, drawing blood." It should be "Arden leapt at Clash's shoulder, hoping that he would draw blood." Another form of Powerplay is when you dodge every hit. It's not possible. So be realistic.
♠ Now here's where it gets tricky. Godmoding is generally not allowed, but in the wizarding world, people tend to be capable of a little more than usual. You are able to lift people out of the air, fly on a broom, and shoot things from a stick. However, if we see you abusing your ability to cast spells, you will be warned. And warned. And warned. And banned. :D
♠ Keep arms, legs, etc., inside the cart at all times.
♠ Out of character conversations should take place out of character. Only post in OOC comment in an IC thread if it's really, really necessary. Like, if someone's being an idiot and you need them to stop. Or you want to close the thread. Things like that.
♠ You should only be in two or three places at a time, and if you're not active in all the threads you've decided to join in on, the privilege will be taken away. Remember, quality over quantity. Besides, if you start doing that no one will want to post with you.
♠ Many members around the forum like to have images in their signatures and as their avatars. However, all images must be appropriate. Avatars cannot exceed the size 100x100 pixels, and signatures must not exceed the size 500x250. You are limited to one image per signature.
♠ A roleplaying game is a game. Don't take anything that happens in character personally. Just because no one likes your character doesn't mean people don't like you.
