THIRD PERSON RULE
All roleplay must be done in the third person, meaning no 'I', 'me', 'my', 'our'. Of course, you are allowed first person in any boards not strictly for role playing purposes, and where you're specifically allowed for first person (ie. Character Plot boards).
QUOTATION MARKS, GRAMMAR & SPELLING
These are essential in letting the other player know when your character is talking. It is a must! Quotation marks are "These". It's difficult to want to RP with someone who doesn't bother to use proper grammar.
POSTING
Please ATTEMPT to make your posts, at least, a paragraph ( a FULL three to four sentences ), or about 100 words long. No, we won't check every post, and if we see something shorter, no, you won't be in trouble. A longer post just helps create a better storyline and makes it easier for others to respond. It will also gain your more points in lessons. Trying to understand who posts next in a thread including more than two people can be difficult; to make it easiest for everyone, for the person creating the thread to state in OOC the posting order for the thread. Eg. Mal 1st, Zoe 2nd, Kaylee 3rd.
OPEN & CLOSED THREADS
We all want to RP and we all want to feel included, however if you find that a thread is closed to a certain person then please refrain from posting in them. It is annoying and people don't want to have to offend you by asking you to delete your post, or at least PM that person to see if you can join it.
NO GODMODING
You are not allowed to control other characters unless you cast the Imperious curse on them, but not everyone is strong enough in magic to perform that spell.
MUGGLE DEVICES
No muggle devices, such as ipods, cell phones, ect. are to be used anywhere, even if your character is a muggle. They don't work at Hogwarts anyways.
IN CHARACTER vs OUT OF CHARACTER
No in character talking about threads that your character wasn't involved in. If a thread is private, it's just that. Your character wasn't there, wasn't invited, and shouldn't have any idea of what went on in that thread. That includes any other out of character plot knowledge.
