Rules

[LANGLOCK]

THE ULTIMATE RULEBOOK

Hello dear. The title says it all. YES you do need to read them. I realize it is a boring business, but it’s for the best honest xP Make sure to understand everything and NOT break any rules or the admins will be forced to take action.

REPORTING FOR DUTY
registering with the site

• If you plan to create an account and not even bother to create a profile, you might as well leave now. This board is not a place to visit only when you feel bored.
  
  
• By submitting a profile, members are committing themselves to the board && this especially applies to canon characters.
  
  
• If you need to leave for a period of time, post in the appropriate category or inform one of the admins.

WHEN YOU SEE MY FACE
hope it gives you hell

Applying

• The application form needs to be filled it out CORRECTLY and with
  CARE.
  
  
• If you do not use the code given, the application will be IGNORED.
  
  
• Once the application has been submitted, please DON’T send messages to the admins about acceptance. Like you, we have real life to attend to so be patient and wait at least 48 hrs before catching an admin’s attention.

Character

• No one is perfect, therefore perfect characters are not allowed. Your character may have good qualities, but that doesn't mean they never make mistakes. Make sure there's that something that sets your character apart from the rest.
  
  
• Please note, the only original characters for the time being that we will accept are original adults (hogwarts staff) and the limited amount of Hogwarts students listed in the canon list. We would rather you take a canon to be honest and there are many to choose from.
  
  
• Pregnancies happen... but please we cannot have every female on the board expecting.
  
  
• The above also applies for suicides; please be realistic.
  
  
• When it comes to the face claim, do not use unknown face claims or site models. If you're desperate to use one of them, then you'd better have a pretty damn good application.

AND HERE'S YOUR LIES
you can look me in the eyes

Roleplaying

• All levels of experience are accepted, as long as the person in question can post at least two decent paragraph (around 5-10 sentences). You don't have to write a novel, but at least try and match the other people's posts. If they write 500, don't give them 100.
  
  
• After joining change your display name to your character's name right away.
  
  
• One line posters are NOT tolerated.
  
  
• Always reply in third person, keep in mind you're not writing your own diary. And NO slang language
  
  
• When you're character is speaking use quotation marks (" "), and for thoughts use Italic.
  
  
• Godmodding is FORBIDDEN
  
  
• OOCs should be AVOIDED in roleplay.
  
  
• Creativity and originality are encouraged, especially when it comes to coding which makes posts look more attractive.

Rating

• Proboards is strictly PG 13
  
  
• Mature content is FORBIDDEN. Violence, drug-use and cursing should be kept at a minimum.

ANOTHER PALE MOON
shines like high noon

Anything else

• You are allowed to have as many characters [both canons & originals] as you like, as long as you keep the whole lot active.
  
  
• Always respect the staff and other members.
  
  
• If you're having a bad day, my advice is to keep clear off the board. We don't want or need unnecessary fights. This is a place to have fun.
  
  
• Please remember, the locations like the corridors will just be for walking, or when they're just out in the halls and such. If you want a character to go into an empty class room or anything like that, then please post in the other locations boards for that particular area.
  
  
• We would also appreciate if you don't spend your whole time on the c-box, keep in mind that you are here to roleplay and it's not nice to keep others waiting for a long time.

AND YOU CAN TAKE BACK
memories they're no good to me

We will be watching you, so do not break any of the above rules. Just like in baseball you have 3 strikes before you're out... or as i like to call it banned and deleted. Behave yourselves and most important of all, have fun :]

Your loving admin, LAUREN
