general! ``When registering, please put your character's first and last name, capitalized appropriately. It saves us all a bit of time.
``After posting your application, please do wait until its accepted before posting anywhere, except to reserve your face claim and canon, if needed.
``Try to be civil with each other. I know we don't like everyone out there, but if you have to take a lash at each other, don't do it in the cbox or in character.
``I'm fine with cursing, but don't go overboard. If you're canon, consider how your character would speak based on what you know about them. Sirius cursing a lot? Probably. Remus? Not so much.
``We've all been there, breaking rules of time and space, or at least bending them. But please try to keep the past in the past and the present in the present. Unfortunately, that mean your favorite album or book probably won't exist yet.
``Please mind your spelling and grammer. A typo here and there is fine, but somthin s typd liek dis, a lot of people are going to have a bit of trouble.
``Try to limit the sex. They're teenagers, not adults. If you have to do something, could you fade-to-black and call it a night? registering! ``When registering, please put your character's first and last name, capitalized appropriately. It saves us all a bit of time.

``Everyone's pet peeve is a Mary Sue. If one of the admins - that's me or Marissa/Kim - tells you to change something slightly, try to be reasonable.
``Metamorphmagi, werewolves, vampires - we all want to be them, but Lupin's the only official. If you want to be one, you have to ask an admin and come up with an entire backstory, and you can't go off telling everyone you know. And please, please, if you are allowed to be one, stick to the Potterverse werewolves and vampires. That means werewolves change only on full moon and can't control themselves, and vampires don't sparkle, change eye colour, etc. If you don't know where to draw the line, I'm sure the Lexicon can give you a good idea. posting and canons! ``Try to keep in character. Severus won't be all buddy-buddy with any of the Marauders. Remus likely won't be very happy with most of the pranks. Et cetera.
``Note that the optional playbys are optional. If you want to be James, but don't like Adam Brody, you don't have to be Adam Brody.
``Try to keep to the canon as closely as possible. This goes along with the first one, but still, please do.
``When posting, please give everyone something to work off of. Show your personality, how your character feels, etc.
``Yes, we have teachers, with their only little profiles. But they're only NPCs, and unfortunately, they'll stay NPCs. If you need any of the teachers in a thread of your's, contact us and we'll be happy to add them in. What they do, however...well, we'll see what happens there. other! ``The secret phrase: I've read the rules and will follow them. If I don't, I accept any and all punishment. This is to ensure that you HAVE read the rules.
``I've set the avatar limit at 100x100, and if anything, it's going up to 115x115, but only if needed.
``For banners, please keep the picture at 500 width or less. For other pictures, try not to stretch the board.
``If you need help with anything, don't be afraid to ask! Cheesy as it sounds, we're here to help!
