it isn’t that hard to follow some simple rules, do these and life will be much easier on you and us. although, if you have any questions, pm any of us and we’ll be glad to clear it up for you. now, if we do find that you repeatedly break a rule, we will give you a warning and then if we need to, we will ban you. if you wouldn’t mind, use English as the main language, we have many people who speak languages other than English, but we’d prefer that as our main language.
accounts
[/i][/center] we don’t particularly care how many accounts you have, but you have to keep them active. we know that it’s a reasonably daring thing to do, just let you have unlimited accounts, but if you don’t keep a character active, we will delete it. don’t think we won’t. now, if you have two female characters, please have a male character if you make a new character. males are generally the minority on these sites, so we ask that simple task of you. it’s easy, now, if you have issues with said rule, please pm one of the admins and we’ll be glad to assist. you.
our only other big rule with accounts is that you have the character’s full name as the display name, unless it won’t fit of course, and that you have an avitar and a signature of your character in it. we don’t really care what the username is, just have the display name be your character’s name. one character per account! face claim a face claim, the claim of your face. as soon as you are sorted, please go claim the celebrity that you are using. we have a face claim thread located here, it’s very simple to follow, just tell us who you’re using. use the provided code to make it easier on us. only one person can have a face claim, unless they’re twins or triplets, etc. NO AINME ALLOWED! at all. please, for your own safety, don’t use yourself as a face claim, use the people that are plastered up around the world, it all works. if you need help finding a face, because I know there are many that are used all the time, we can help you out. but do try your best to find one yourself. stealing [/size][/i] this applies to graphics, forms, posts, everything. don’t steal from people, that’s just wrong. if you use something that isn’t yours, please have permission from the creator. there are many sites where you can get a template that’s meant for public use, just try one of those if you need something, just be sure to follow their rules. we the staff don’t want to have to deal with the official owners of the graphics or whatnot getting all pissy about it,
it doesn’t take much work to just add in the credit or even just make your own, save yourself most of that trouble! these sites are for creativity, don’t sink so low as stealing. advertising do not, under any circumstances, post advertisements in the cbox or in a thread, or crap like that. just don’t do it, easy as that. if you really want to get the word out about your board, post it in the correct place, the advertising and affiliate board. easy as pie. graphics and requests [/i][/size] we don’t have many particular rules about graphics except for the fact that if it has nudity, we will delete it and give you a warning. keep it appropriate, we have youngsters on here, they don’t need to be scarred like that. don’t steal them, it’s just not done. give credit to the creator if someone else makes it for you, it’s easily done and it makes them happier.
your avitar needs to be 100 x 100, unless you have permission from one of the staff to do otherwise. we have graphic designers and people here who are more than happy to make you a sig, just post in their thread if they have one, if they don’t, it is fair game for them to say no.
if it stretches the board, it will be removed, fear us. just keep it decent and then we won’t have any problems with you. ages [/size][/i] if your character is eleven, they are a first year, not a third year, if your character is twelve, they shouldn’t be making out with a teacher. keep it real, if you didn’t do it when you were twelve, and your mother didn’t do it, then neither should you. we won’t have a twelve year old girl pregnant, it’s a, not realistic, and b, just wrong. respect [/size] if the staff tells you to do something, don’t argue. they have worked and earned their spot on the staff board, this means that they have earned your respect. but it’s not only the staff that deserves respect, all of the other members do too. if someone says something that you don’t agree with, then either just stop talking or politely ask them to change the subject.
racism, discrimination, sexuality, religion, just don’t talk about it. it makes life so much easier. if one person says “oh, I’m gay,” then just nodd and say okay, please don’t say “you damn fag, gtfo.” it upsets more people than just them. just shut up if it comes to that. godmodding [/size][/i] if you don’t know what it is and you fear you’re doing it, ask. please. if your character is in a fight, or a duel, or a contest of any sort, they are not all powerful. they will take a hit, they will miss. you cannot control the other person’s character. just stop.
please, do remember to check back at these rules ever so often, they might change sometimes. you never know. thank you, and if you follow all these simple rules, it will make things easier and funner on you and on the staff.
` the staff of twif.

it has risen to the staff's attention on a few things that aren't quite sitting well with us. guess what, you need to read the entire thing, no worries, i'm almost positive that it'll mostly be repetitive in most categories. m'kay, now, let us begin. be aware, we're not doing this to be mean or harsh, we just need to get this place back under control.
pregnancies.
[/i][/center][/size] okay, people, this is a harry potter site. did you really see anyone on those movies who got pregnant. and either way, you wouldn't have 5 people pregnant in a school this small, at least not any respectable school. and girls 14, 15. . . they just shouldn't be pregnant. so we're imposing a few rules upon this. firstly, you're only allowed to have one character who is pregnant. not one character per account, no, one character per user. end of discussion. too bad if you've already got beyond that, pick your favourite. thirdly, the pregnancies will be a week real time equals a months pregnancy, so no getting knocked up, role playin' one thread and poppin out the little brat. you decided to get preggerz, you gottsta' deal with it. fourthly; you can only have twins, no triplets, no quadruplets, none of that. twins are rare enough as it is, so no. and lastly; we're not going to let anyone make a bio or character for the kid. no, you can integrate it into your threads, but they're not becoming their own character. we're not a day care, we're a school. engagements/marriages [/size][/b][/i] we've noticed that after katie and nathan got married, everyone seemed to go 'hey, they did it, so can we!' no. they were 17 and 18, legal adults, and there was a very detailed plot behind it that involved them not working out, much like most all teen marriages. so we're cracking down on this also. you cannot be 15 or 16 and getting hitched. legally, you're still a child, you have no business getting married. so, your character must be 17 before they're able to get married, engaged, or whatever. real relationships just don't work like that, not everything is all happy-dappy. and again, you're in high school, you have no business getting married. and enough with the teachers getting engaged to their students, just no. and, if you're married, guess what, you still have to live on campus. you cannot go off and get a house in hogsmeade, the real hogwarts didn't allow it, neither are we. so even if you're married, you still have to sleep separately, so really no point in getting married anyway. mature threads [/size][/b][/i] yup, we're cracking down on these too. people, high school isn't like this, not for every single person. 15 year olds shouldn't be having sex or giving their boyfriends blow jobs, it just isn't right. now, we may not be putting an age limit on these, but we trust you to be smart. instead, we're saying that you can only have four every six months. so turn your teenage sex drives down, keep it in your pants, what ever. you get a limit of four per six month period, so use them wisely. who knows, if you don't use all of them, there might be a reward at the end. no, just keep it civilized people, be reasonable and be real. things that didn't quite fit anywhere else [/b][/i][/size] okay, we know that a lot of girls are flirty but we don't need every single character being a flirty little miss perfect, be a little more creative. same goes for sexuality, it seems like lately everyone has been being bi or lesbian or gay, now, we're all fine with sexuality, truly, we don't care. just cut back please on all the gay people. . . they're beginning to out weigh the straight people. and lastly, please use the god given button at the bottom that says spell check. it just makes the site look better, cleaner, and just more welcoming to people. nextly, no talking about stuff like that in the cbox, i can understand making some silly remark, or something like that, trust me i understand that, but if you're going to sit there and talk about your sex thread in the cbox, it'll turn away prospective members. it'll make it look like we're running a porn site, and we're not. talk about all that stuff in pm's or stuff. lastly, no teacher-student relationships. they're rare enough in the real world, they'd be rarer in the wizarding world where they're all old fashioned. we will lock the threads if we see things crossing the line. now, if you have a certain plot where it involves a student-teacher relationship, pm one of the mods, shelby, amna, and i are all happy to talk it through with you, who knows, we might consent to letting you do the plot, but that's only because we know what would probably work out best for the site. now, thank you for reading this whole thing, i'm proud of you for doing the right thing. we're not doing it because we're big fun suckers, no, quite the opposite, we want you to have as much fun as you can possibly have, we're trying to just keep the site being reasonable and in control. we truly love y'all to bits, but we need to keep it clean alright? at least cleaner than this. if y'all have any comments or anything of the sort, mad or happy, pm me [username: admin] or any of the mod, we'd happy to talk to you about any matter thats botherin' you! <3 {written by `zona. updated 4.11.2010 by `zona.}[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] |

Character restrictions!
okay listen up! we have allowed you to have multiple characters/accounts that doesn't mean you can make as many as characters you want and go inactive. recently we have received a couple of complaints regarding this issue that most of the good pbs are taken by characters that are inactive and the only solution to this problem is that if you've multiple characters and you are inactive with either one of 'em, within a month's time that particular account/character gets deleted. okay? so please be active. If you make a canon character, you cant give up on 'em unless you've really lost your muse for 'em so kindly think before you make 'em OK? && its a rule that if you two male characters, then you'll have to make a female character and if you've two female characters, then your third character should be a male. If you think you cant follow this rule due to some problem then pm me and we can sort it out. Lastly, Two teacher characters to one person, but need one student account before you can have two teachers. Get it? It means, if you want to have two teacher characters, surely you can but activity is required first of all and then you should have a student character either male or female before creating another teacher character okay? question arises that why do we have such a rule? well, i get that you've alot of ideas/plottages in your mind that you want to RP out with other characters etc, on this stage do think of others as well and also give others a chance of playing out characters especially the ones on the teaching spot list. right?
again, we need activity and as for the Hogwarts Staff [teaching spot], these people are highly qualified , so you're supposed to have great knowledge of the particular subject you're choosing for your character and detailed history and a good application.we dint want way too much of grammatical mistakes or simply nonsense that doesn't make sense at all. Proper English please with good and reasonable details.
