[/b] ``general
okay, let's keep this short and simple. this is an original harry potter role-play that is not based on the books, so please be sure to read the plot before you apply. but even so, you'd have to read the books to know what's going on, or have some general knowledge about it.
``registration
you can sign up with any name you want, but once you decide on your characters name, please change your display name. sure, this can realistically wait until you are approved or post your profile, but if you plan on filling out the app before posting it, then please change your name accordingly and make sure that your display name is all lowercase letters, and first and last names are requires, middle is optional, and please do not put punctuation in your display name. as for how many characters you can have, you can have as many as you'd like, but you have to be sure to be active. as a general rule, before making a fourth female character, you have to have at least one male.
``applying
on the note of applying, please post your application within 5 days of registering. we ask that you don't post any work in progress applications because, frankly, its not a long app. but if you do, get it done soon, please.
``characters
when you make your character, keep in mind that nobody's perfect. it's our imperfections that make us perfection, and nobody likes to plot with mary-sue's and gary-sues. god-modding is forbidden, unless you have prior permission. we hope that you avoid chat-speak, since this board is a literate RP zone,and spelling and grammar mistakes will be excused as long as they aren't too frequent. if you want a character dead, or pregnant, you have to contact an admin about it.also, when you fill out the application, do not change the code. for play-by’s, anybody is okay.
``graphics
[/blockquote][/size]we would love everyone on this site (and by love, i mean require) everyone to have a 100x100 avatar and a signature of their choice, as long as it does not exceed a width of 450 pixels. if you can't make graphics, there is a graphics board where you can request some and people are always willing to oblige. if you can't get someone on here to do it, go to a site such as CAUTION. you have to join, but it's worth it.
``activity
we will not be posting activity checks but we would like for people to at least log on once a week unless they post an absence. people who do not log in for two weeks will most likely be deleted, along with their character(s). we know you have your personal lives, but without you we can’t keep this site going, can we? and don’t think we don’t see you. if you hide, we will track you down to come back.
``roleplaying
we do not accept one liners, and each paragraph should be about four to five full sentences. everybody has a bad day once in a while, but we do have limitation. no one paragraph posts are allowed. you’d have more than that to post.
``c-box
okay, we seriously didn’t go to all the trouble of getting a c-box to have it standing there feeling all lonely. seriously. that is a rule. talk to us. don’t hide behind your character thinking we don’t see you. you have to talk to us. we’re always there to help you.
``anything else
[/center][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]respect the admins, members, and even guests. that's a rule. but the one that we insist on is: HAVE FUN! that's what this site is for. and if you choose to join this site, thank you! we really appreciate it and we, the staff, would like to get to know each and every member, so don't hesitate to introduce yourself!! These rules were made by CHLOEOATS ! of CAUTION 2.0. no stealing.

WE LOVE YOU!
