OOC Behavior
1. One shall not ever insult nor argue with a staff member. We do make mistakes, but pointing it out with a bad attitude is plain rude. We have made the site for you, and we can take it away just as easy. If you see a mistake, please point it out politely.
2. Discrimination because of sexuality, religion, race, gender, or nationality will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Whether you be black, white, gay, bi, male, female, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Hindu, Muslim, etc. you will be welcome here with open arms.
3. Treat others how you would like to be treated (and don't say I want to be treated poorly so I'll treat others that way). Be kind and generous. Help others out when they need it and they will do the same to you.
4. Have fun. That is the reason why one joins and don't forget it!
5. Do not fight with each other. If there is a problem, get help from a staff member so we can work it out.
Advertising
1. You may only advertise in the Apparation board, which is designated to advertising and affaliating. Therefore, do not advertise on any other board on the site.
2. In the C-Box, there is an option to have a url. You may put the url of your proboards there, however you can not make posts or spam the C-box telling us to join your site.
3. When advertising or affaliating, follow the rules [found in the Apparation board].
Accounts
1. Each character must have a separate account.
a) The display name of that account must be your character's first and last name. No exceptions.
2. You may only have 6 accounts. If you are active and RP well, you may be allowed to have another character if you PM the admin.
3. Your avatar or signature must have a picture of your celebrity claim.
4. Your signature and avatar may not have any offensive material, pornography, or nudity on it.
5. Signature [pictures] sizes may not exceed 530x200 pixels, for then it stretches the screen.
6. In your signature, you have to have your wand and pet [if applicable] forms. It's also greatly appreciated if you have your character's name, house [if applicable], age, link to your relationship chart, and link to your bio. However, that is not necessary.
7. Only two of your six accounts may be canons. If you PM the administrator asking for another, you may possibly be allowed another canon. This will be rare and far in between and only awarded to the best, active RPers or other staff members for they both RP well and are active.
Posting | In Character
1. Do not post anywhere IC if your character has not been accepted and you haven't filled out all of the neccesary extras [that doesn't mean the extras have to be updated as you have done your part].
2. On Repello Muggletum, you must post once with your character in a thread a week. This is not a lot, nor is it difficult.
a) After one week of inactivty without an absentee notice, you will be emailed and PMed about your inactivty and requested to either post an absentee notice, become active again, or leave the site permantly.
b) If you go without two weeks posting and you don't have an absentee notice, your characters will be moved to the 'Dead' Characters board and your member status demoted to inactive. Again, you will be emailed and PMed.
c) After one week in that state, your account will be deleted and your characters left in the 'Dead' Characters board.
3. All of your posts must be at least two solid paragraphs. If you can post more, that's great and you should. A paragraph is defined as 4-5 solid sentences, approximately 250-300 words. Even on a bad day, you should be able to post as much even if it takes a longer period of time.
4. Cussing is allowed, as this is a more mature site and all of us should be at least 13 years old. However, this doesn't meant to be saying the F word every other word. If you have a problem for this, you may censor out the words using the personal censored words code found when editing your profile.
5. OOC talk is not allowed. That is what the OOC boards are for. If you need to add a quick note about your post, make it distinguishable by using parentheses (( __)) or [[__]]
6. There will be no in-school pregnancies. Sex is allowed for 6th years and up, but if you are caught there will be IC consequences. These threads must be marked as YourThreadTitle [RATED M].
7. Powerplaying and Godmoding is strictly forbidden. This is when you play your RPing partners character, in a duel never get hit, never get sick, are superman, take OOC knowledge and make it IC knowledge, etc.
8. Discrimantion is allowed, as it happens in real life. However, if it happens OOC you will be punished.
9. Three characters of your five may have special abilities, Quidditch positions, and/or Prefect Positions. All of these must be applied for and accepted by an admin. However, only three of your characters have the oppertunities for this.
Possible Combinations:
Prefect, Quidditch Captain & Special Ability & None
Special Ability & Prefect & Quidditch Captain
Special Ability, Quidditch Captain & Prefect & None
Special Ability, Prefect & None & None
Special Ability & None & None
Prefect & None & None
Quidditch Captain & None & None
None & None & None
10. There may be no Mary-Sues or Gary-Sues. This is when your character has no flaws and is perfect. Sorry to break it to you, nobody is perfect, even in the RP world.
11. You must date all of your threads, and it must be set in the time designated in the RP Stats. For example, if it said August 2046 it could be anywhere from August 1st through August 31st.
