1. Keep swearing to a minimum. I don't mind s***, d***, or f***, but please only in moderation. No using of God's name when swearing, not sure on h*** s***, but doubt it unless you have a good reason stated in the post or it's something your character says a lot, especially if said character is a Muggle/sailor/Vernon Dursley/Dudley Dursley.

2. No God-modding unless someone has given you permission to do so to their character and both people talk to me first.

3. That said, your character is not invincible. Your character can not dodge, duck, and miss being hit by every spell sent in their direction unless your character is the Flash, Speedy or the twins from Titans East.

4. No using of derogatory words except for Mudblood and that's only if your character is a Malfoy, a former DE, or a pureblood who thinks that they're better than half-bloods, Muggle-borns, and Muggles.

5. You must post in the sorting and/or claim a character. The only way you get out of sorting is if you claim a canon character and DH Katie and I approve.

6. If you have a problem with another member, please pm them. Don't start a topic on it. If I find that there is a topic that consists of "this member this and this member that" that doesn't have to do with this board or any of the forums, that topic will be deleted and you will be warned. If you do it again, you won't be able to post without me or DH Katie reading your posts first. If the problem persists, you will be banned.

7. The warning in 6 applies to the entire board. If you break one of these rules, you'll be warned, than you'll be moderated for a while, and if the problem contiues, you will be banned.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.

Also I add,
8. Plese try to keep OOCs to a minumn. ( OOC stands for Out Of Charter for those who don't know!)

~Deputy Headmistress Katie

9. To add to number 8, also keep OOCs to the OOC part of the board.
10. The answer to number 5 in the sorting is Gryffindor. It is also the password.

11. Muggle Defence is a magic-free class, as the teacher is a muggle. Anyone who breaks the rules will be sent to my office.

12. Only origional characters who talk to me can teach NEWT level classes if teacher is dead-McGonagall, or if it's DADA, Muggle Studies, and Muggle Defence.

13. From here on out, any members who break rules three times with three warnings will be deleted on the fourth rule breaking.

14. For now, all the canon characters will have to be claimed before I'll allow any more Origional Characters.
