If you haven't read EVERYTHING on this page, you are not allowed to post anything either here or anywhere else in this guild. So I suggest that, if you haven't already, read the rules now. Thanks! mrgreen

And just incase you just want a quick reference, here are the 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.

Just a few minor additions of my own:
arrow No god-modding. Your character can't control anything they wouldn't be able to control if this were a real setting (weather and stuff.) You can't bring about another character's death unless they consent to it (this would be something to discuss beforehand in the OOC thread.)
arrow Before you begin playing you must first have submitted a profile to the Profile thread and had it approved by me. The way you will know that your profile has been approved is that I will respond to it with the word Approved in bold type. If it is NOT approved, however, I will respond to it with Not Approved in bold type, and you will recieve a PM explaining why it was not approved.
arrow To start out, there is going to be a maximum of 15 PEOPLE PER HOUSE! Once every house has 15 people I'll open the houses up for 15 more people each, etc. If the house you want to be in is full you are allowed to create a character and play in a different house until the spots are open again, but you must effectively write your replacement character and once you start playing in the other house you either have to continue playing with your replacement character, find someone else who's willing to play your replacement character, or find a logical way to take your replacement character out of the plot.
(Periodically check this thread - I might have stuff to add to this list in the future.)
