General Rules:

1. Be nice. Treat your co-members with the courtesy and respect you would like them to treat you with. If you’re mean, I’m mean, and I’m probably a lot meaner than you. So let’s try to avoid a nasty situation and just be nice to everyone. If you have a problem with another member, send a complaint form to the forum moderator. If it goes unresolved, PM the same form to The Hallows Mule.

2. Forum Moderators are like demi-Gods. They have their own little piece of space that they are responsible for. What they say goes. If you feel you are being treated unfairly, send a complain form to The Hallows Mule. That means following their rules, too.

3. Keep it easy to read. No crazy colors or font sizes. If I can’t read it, I’ll delete it.

4. Be creative. Don’t be afraid to make a suggestion. We won’t bite. And don’t forget, if it comes down to it, you can post whatever you want in the Misc. Forum. (Provided it follows rule #5)

5. ALWAYS. I means ALWAYS. Follow the Guild rules and Gaia’s Terms of Service. Failure to do so will result in a warning and then being banned.

6. Participate in as many scenarios as you want, with as many characters as you want. Just make sure that you know who is who and who is in what thread or forum.

7. Images are a must. I don’t care if you use a tektek, a google image or a picture of your grandmother. Your character profiles must ABSOLUTELY have an image to represent that character. This applies to every character in every forum. If one character is in more than one forum, you are still required to submit a profile for each.

8. Literacy is a must. Everywhere in this guild. No chatspeak or anything of the like. Type your words out and try to use the best spelling, grammar and punctuation you can.

9. Always read all stickies and announcements. They contain important information, and are also an avenue for you to make suggestions and comments.

10. Most importantly, have fun. We’re here because we all have a common ground, and if we all follow these rules, there is no reason why we can’t all get along and have a great time!

Role Playing Rules:

1. Literacy is a must at all times. No chat speak, no funky colors or sizes.

2. Use at least seventh grade level spelling, grammar and punctuation.

3. Always post at least two well formed paragraphs.

4. Be descriptive! Tell us everything your character is doing, whether he is twiddling his thumbs, or rolling his eyes. We cannot see these things, so you must tell us what he is doing. This also applies to scenes. Give us a good description of the setting and scene.

5. If you are not sure that something complies with the rules or ToS, wait to post it. Leave it out until you get a response from a moderator, or just find another way to get your point across.

6. If you join a role play, you are committing to regular contribution. If you can't do this, make sure the thread owner knows. Just make sure we know that you're taking a leave from the guild, or thread, or whatever. No questions.

7. Be sure your character exists in the era of role play. IE: Bellatrix Lestrange was not at Hogwart's in 1971-1978, therefore her character cannot be played in that forum.

8. Take your problems outside the role play. If you're playing James Potter, but can't stand the person who plays Sirius Black, I don't care. Take it elsewhere.

9. Do not ever flame someone because you don't like their portrayal of a character or for any other reason. If it's that big of an issue, take it up with the forum moderator.

10. Moderators have full rights within their forums. If you have an issue in the Tom Riddle era, but only the moderator from the Harry Potter era is on, wait until the appropriate moderator is on to deal with it. Send them a message, and they will get back to you. Another moderator may not know how to deal with the issue appropriately, or they may not be able to take care of it. If it's really big and important, PM Mariposa85, who will respond within 24 hours.
