Rules & regulation

THE RULES

1. Spamming and / or Trashing the Site: Just don't do it. Okay? It's not polite and it's certainly won't impress us admins or others members if you are ruining this site. First incidence is a warning, second time a member is banned for a week. Third time - do you really want to know? Spamming is basically double posting, one word posts etc. Need more clarification? PM me or one of the other admins.

2. Word count: We do have a word count here. Nothing major, just a simple minimum of 150 words is all. You can always post more than 150, but not below that amount please. No one liners accepted.

3. Rating: This site is PG-13, and as a member, you are expected to keep it so. Fights involve gore, we know, but keep it down. No one wants to get a horrid mental image. Because this site respectfully follows Proboards TOS, sex scenes are NOT allowed on here-- besides PG-13 usually means no sex. If you begin to write a sex scene, fade to black. If you wish to continue it, take it somewhere else. We don't want it. If you must continue it in personal message, fine, but we recommend that you don't as Proboards doesn't like that either. Violation mainly of the sex scene part of this rule can get this forum removed.

You may throw in a cuss word/vulgar word in your posts here & there. But please don't overdo it.

4. Respect other members!: Please, if you have a problem with someone, do not start a hate war. They really are not necessary and that do not add to the friendly atmosphere of the site. If you do have a problem with another member, PM an admin and they will sort it out with you and said member in the most mature and unbiased way possible.

1. Naming your character/s: Try to be interesting! While sometimes it is hard to find a name that really suits your characters, it is annoying to see 'Sam Smith' walking around. Play around with it! Anything goes!

2. Limit to the number of characters: Simple; there isn't one, providing you keep every single one of them active. We don't want to see people making countless new characters & never bothering to develop their old ones.

3. Character Ratio: Please do not spam one single Ilvermorny with a bunch of characters, try to keep it even. Also for every 3 female character, make 1 male character. Why? I have seen many sites with a plethora of female characters and hardly any male characters, this will make it a little even.

4. Classes: You are not required to attend classes. Why? Well classes are for fun on this site! But if your character does post in the threads, they will receive points for their house!

5. Suggestions: Have a suggestion for a class, building, etc? Suggest it to the admins! We are trying to make this site truly unique and stand out from the rest. We're open to just about anything really. But remember, your character must be of appropriate age. So no kids teaching classes or working for the Ministry. You'll have to make another account.

1. Credit it: If someone makes you a signature or avatar, they probably spent quite a lot of time perfecting it for you. Therefore, do not claim it as your own! Credit it as their work. Similarly, don't steal others signatures / avatars / images. It's not very polite and we won't be lenient when we find out (and we will!) you will receive a warning.

2. Size: Oh, here we go. The size of your signature does not matter on one condition: it doesn't stretch the board. This is just a common courtesy on your part. Avatars can be any size really. Hover images must be 200x300
