Rules, Rules, Rules,
I know they get annoying, but we have to have them to run a site safe for everyone to have a lot of fun in. So there are not that many, just some rather important ones to follow so that you can have a lot of fun here with us.
General Rules, Shout Box Rules and Others.
*** First, this site is a judgment free zone, that means there will be no judging of anyone on their Race/Kreed, religion, gender, gender identity, sexuality, political standings, or anything, anything at all that falls into these kinds of things. Everyone is different, it is what makes us all who we are, if we were all the same we would be gray blobs, so lets not talk down to anyone about who or what they are. All are welcome here, this is a judgment free zone so welcome.
*** If you think that a topic of conversation might cause a fight or argument in the site, the shoutbox or on the discord then think before posting about it. There are a LOT and I mean A LOT of topics that can get people heated, so please think before posting about something that may start fights we do not want that here.
*** Follow the PB TOS yadda yadda, keep things to PG-13, FTB when things get heated, keep swearing down, but you can swear, just not every other word. No hinky pinky with characters under 17, there were some other things, oh smoking is ok but I would think that would only fall for the adult characters. Drinking is ok, again make sure you are watching what you are doing. If you even think that there could be something that could trigger someone, please make sure that you put a trigger warning in the name of the thread, we just want to cover our buts in all things as we can thank you.
*** The shout box right now is guest friendly, but if it gets like what I have seen on other sites, someone spamming it with things like porn and what not, it will be turned off for guests. We will have a discord as well, that way people can come there as well to get ahold of me and others on the site, but for the most part the shout box is there for the use of all for anything at all.
*** There is a bit of a warning system here, if things are seen and talked to the admin about you will be talked to about it as well. I do not like to ban people, I do not think that it is fair, but I will if I have to. I have been on a lot of sites over the many, many years that I have been role playing online and have only been on a ew where banning never happened, and how badly the sites got taken over. So I will ban if I have to, I would rather not but I will.
*** The admin has the right to adjust the rules as time goes on, to add or take away things thank you.

Character Registration and Creation
*** First and formost, please register with the characters first name and last name only, no middle names, no odd names, no numbers please. Yes you can have an OC account to do things like track and plot and what not. Please let me know that it is an OC account either by PM, Shoutbox or Discord so that it can be sorted and you are not told that you registered wrong. So please, remember characters must be registered first and last name only.
*** Once the character is registered, please space and cap the name in the proper way, that was you look good and fit in with the others. Again please NO middle names, or nick names in the name area, just the first and last name, if they are a JR or the third or what not that can be added, but for the most part please, first and last name only.
*** I do not like to rush people to make their applications, but I do put a week time frame of getting things done, should not take you to long to do the character. BUT if you do need more time PLEASE come to me and I will give you more time, do not just assume that I will give you more time, you do have to ask.
*** The only places you can post with the character you are making, is the application location, the face claim to reserve your face, and the OOC areas of the site. Please do not post anywhere else until your character has been approved and sorted.
*** Like with the application, face Claim’s last for seven days on the reserved list, so make sure you get them in if there is one you really want.
** Once your application is approved and you are sorted, you are free to do all the other claim’s and other things on the site, set up plotters, trackers, whatever you would like to do. Just remember to get them done so you hve what you want to have.
*** This one is my favorite, there is NO character limit, so you can have as many characters as you want, but you have to be able to handle them all. There will be activity checks every two months to see how things are going. The other thing would be for canon, you can not have two canons that would interact a lot unless you are alright with posting with yourself. So like, I would say that you would not play both Lily Potter and Harry Potter because that just would not fly for having to post and everything. So just keep that in mind when you are picking out the people that you want to play.
*** This one is also big, No you do NOT have to use the faces from the movies for the characters that they are playing. If you want to thats fine, but you do not have to if you do not want to that is up to you as the player. I am not going to force you to use Tom Felton for Draco or Emma Watson for Hermione that is just not something I would do so be free.
*** One last thing, please do not name your character, (Outside of the canon ones) soething that the actor or actress has played. This is something I hold to because its just silly, would you really want to see Tom Hiddlestone running around as Loki? Yeah not on a Harry Potter site, if this was Marvel then sure that would be ok, but on that you would not see Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy. So I am big on the whole do not nae your character after a character that the face plays on tv or in the movies please and thank you.

Posting and Graphics
*** There is no posting minimum and we welcome all people of all posting skills and levels. The only thing that we do ask is no one liners. Some posters really put a lot of work into their post and it can sometimes offend them if someone comes along and just gives them a one line answer to their post. So think before posting, just try to give back as what you got, if you cant thats fine just no one line replies to posts that is the only thing I am on about.
*** You do not need to use a template, if you want to you can, if you do not want to you do not have to, just play it how you want to play it. Yes you can color text vs the rest of the wording, just make sure it is something that people can read.
*** Remember to put the post as OPEN or CLOSED, and if CLOSED then remember to tag who its going to just so that they can find it, all good in the hood lol.
*** The application graphics is 100X100, please make sure it does not stretch the application, the AVVIES for the site is 200X200. Siggies are welcome just please do not stretch the site.
*** Please no gif avvies or siggies, you can have it in your application and in the gif games, but no where else please.
*** No full frontal nudity, a little nakkie butt and side boobs is ok, but no full on seeing everything please and thank you.

Last Few Things.
*** Please remember to follow the rules in each of the sign up areas, like FC and Members list and things like that.
*** If you are going to take one of the more leader like roles, or a professor then you need to stay active. Our site runs on your posts, so if you are going to be taking someone that is going to be important, then please make sure that you are alright with posting at least two times a week with that character.
*** If you have any questions, please ask the admin she is more then happy to help you out and make sure that you have a fun time thanks!
Plenty of room for OCs
