HPGoG: I'm Confused! (Lesson 3)

(The Other Subforums)

Now the last lesson focused on the primary subforums. Even though all of our subforums are important, the previous ones mentioned is where you'll find the most guild interaction. These next few are informative, but guild-wide in a way. I don't want to make this lesson longer than it is, so without further ado,
the other subforums:
The 2626:
This is our mainsubforum! It's important! Why? Because it has the Entrance Hall, the Sorting Hat, the Welcome Thread, the ID Thread, the Student Message Board, and much more to come! It's a lot I know, which is exactly why members aren't allowed to create topics in that subforum. You're allowed to post in a thread, but don't create one (in that subforum only)
Spinners End
This is the games subforum! I'm sure this is where most of you post. No one is active in this guild 24 hours a day... and when you happen to be in the guild during one of those times where no one else is here (after homework and all that other stuff is done) what do you do? You play games!
Event Forum
Where guild events happen! If you notice that the moderators are planning stuff, which they are, and have no idea where it will be, then this is your answer! All events/big contests are held in this subforum. It's important! This is one of the subforums that the guild will be improving in days to come. This subforum also holds previous events the guild has held (which are locked and dated by Month and Year)
The White Tomb
This subforum is our timeline, so to speak. It holds the history of our guild. From every "first" thread, to much, much more... come here and do some reading to find out about all the crazies (j/k) who created this place. Oh, I forgot to mention there's a Trophy Room coming soon!
The Moderators Subforum
There's no link here because members don't have access to it. Not sure what goes on here ninja Since everything is out in the open in HPGoG, I think nothing!

And that concludes Lesson 3. I'm sorry it's a lot, but I hope it's informative. Friday I'm totally free, so at 3 PM EST (tentative) I'll be adding some information regarding the previous lessons. It'll be our first interactive experience! Hope to see ya there. Well actually here, just days from now.
*Please note that because of the number of subforums, I decided to split lesson one into two. I originally planned to give two unrelated lessons, but while I was typing that last one I realized it was TOO much! Anyway since the other lesson is prepared, here's a Heads Up: Guild Rules blaugh

Jerell walks in the classroom and immediately notices the new posted homework. He quickly sits and starts jotting down the information needed for the homework. "Hmm? 4-5 sentences only? I really have to limit myself... and huh? October event? maybe of 2007?"

Schnerkel noticed a boy sleeping next to her, Oh my, sleeping in class can't be too good, me don't think, she wondered to herself silently. Suddenly an idea sparked inside her head and she raised her hand to gain the teacher's attention, "Maybe we can learn about all of the things a House Elf can do around Hogwarts?"

((And I meant In Character, not homework or posting in the game forum - things like cleaning and cooking obviously, but maybe there are other, less noticed things they could do. Like running errands for students, or chasing gnomes that had gotten inside the castle...
Just an idea though, heh. It's probably very bad or you're already planning to do that. >.<))

Actually what I had planned had nothing to do with that. After an overview of the general rules I was going to do a lesson on Roleplaying in character. I never thought of your idea though, and I love it. Who knows maybe it'll surface in two weeks. ninja

"I actually like or probably love everything being taught to me, Alicia-elf," Jerell smiles as he continues writing his homework. After a moment, he hands Alicia his homework with a big smile. He went back to where he was sitting and stretched his arms out giving a yawn. He looked over to see someone sleeping in class. "It sure is contagious, being sleepy," he said as buried his face in his arms and slightly closed his eyes. He suddenly shook his head awake and sighed. "At this rate, I'm never gonna catch up with her..." he sighed and just smiled. He stared at Alicia and smiled, "Learning would be a whole lot more fun if we gave Schnerkel's idea a shot...". He turned to Schnerkel and smiled.

((yes, I was blue-flame-starter...))

I don't want to mess up, so what can I do?
(Lesson 4)


Well there are some rules, and we at HPGoG do not think it's too much. We like order, and there are a few rules to help us with the order.
I'm not about to go over all of the guild rules because you should have read them before joining this guild. If you haven't then please read the second post.
There are a few rules/guidelines that I've found have been ignored/forgotten lately. Well I'll remind you of a few.
Very soon our guild will be going through a process we label "Operation Scourgify". It's where we take a few members who haven't posted in months off our lists. Simply put: Those members are banned (not permanently, just until they meet the posting requirements). The posting requirement minimum is five posts. That's not a lot! It takes less than FIVE MINUTES to make that requirement. What rule did I just go over? You must post. It's not an outrageous demand.
Another rule, and I should have placed this first, is that AT ALL TIMES you must respect everyone in the guild. By respecting people it means you respect their opinions and whatnot also. Just because you might not agree with someone, does not mean you have to be rude about it. Please don't be rude. That's to everyone, not just mods. Here in HPGoG everyone has a voice that can be heard.
*twitch* Spam is to HPGoG as a dirty Great Hall would be to the Hogwarts' house-elves. It is simply disgusting. Sure we understand you might slip and make a spam/repeated post. However, our understanding is limited. If a single person continues to make the same mistake (as mods we send out PMs) we'll start to think it's deliberate, and a punishment will have to happen. If you're unsure if your post (creating new threads particularly) is spam or not, then ASK. Every moderator has their PMs open, not just me.
House Colors! This is the rule I think many new members hate the most. I know many people like those colors of blue, red, orange, and green. I personally like blue, but because house members are required to post in their house-colors, elves cannot. Otherwise it'd be pretty confusing. There are so many colors available that are closely related to the four House colors. Why not just try one of them?
Lesson Four is coming to a close, but I have one more rule to mention. HOUSE COMMON ROOMS ARE NO MANS LAND UNLESS YOU OFFICIALLY BELONG TO THAT HOUSE. Yes, I put the caps lock on ya. That is really important. No member is allowed to go inside, let alone post, in another common room. That's forbidden. Sure we allow everyone into our neat little area, but that's how we mingle with the students! So for no reason at all should you go inside a House Common Room.
Yep that's it. If there are ever any questions about a rule, PM a moderator.

Homework:
1) There is a thread where a banning process was mentioned during the summer. Find that thread. (Hint: The thread is currently dead.)
2) HPGoG loves it when guild members get involved. Before Valentine's Day you will need to make a post in the SFQ. Please make sure it's either a suggestion or feedback (positive and negative welcomed). We want to hear from you. (Note: There's no link because you should know where to find it now)
