The Rules
General Posting Restrictions
1) SPAMMING anywhere other than the out of character forum is not allowed, by spamming I mean posting unnecessary text, images or adverts that don’t
contribute to role playing.
2) Pornographic content is banned on all boards including SPAM AND CHAT. This is prohibited and will cause a user immediate deletion if he/she should post pornography. Likewise racial, sexist, ageist, heightest or any stereotyped prejudice is not allowed on Moontrimmer.
3) All posts must follow on from the root of the topic, of a topic is about coming to Hogwarts you cant change it and transform into a turtle, it doesn’t follow on and is annoying.
4)Text speak is not allowed, standard English is the only language allowed unless your character speaks another language, then that is acceptable in parts of role playing.
5) When Making a topic you do not make one for the sake of it, you make one to add to your story line and allow other people to come on to the topic.
Example of bad topic making:
<Nayau walked into the room, picked up the parcel and left the room>
The above example isn’t good because it is a waste of a topic, you have just come in and gone out again and it doesn’t leave it open for people to come into a topic either. Ultimately those topics will get closed because of lack of replies.
Leave your topics open.
Registration and Sorting
1) When you register ensure that your character has a first name, with the first letter capitalised.
2) All characters will need to apply in the Character Application, failure will mean deletion.
3) You need to specify a preferred house; however you may not get your house if we think that your character would be better in another house, but this is negotiable
4) If you wish to play an adult character then fill out an Adult Character App. And post in the Character App section.
5) Under no circumstances are there to be any canons, eg Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron etc. This is a original character RP.
6) Canon Teachers are not allowed. The minister of magic is not allowed. Any canon with automatic authority is not allowed.
7) Right, you signed up, plugged in your app and you are sorted. START
PLAYING THE GAME. There is no need to thank us, no need to leave a
comment in the Character App. No need at all.
8) Talking animals are not allowed. By animal, we mean muggle animal. House
Elves etc... are still allowed and are welcomed onto Moontrimmer.
9) When applying for a character of any type, you must provide the weaknesses asked for, or you will not be sorted, and told to provide the necessary information. Scars are not considered a physically weakness unless very serious, such as a large burn scar, or a large scar that is visible all the time.
10) Every character must be house in the UK and ROI. Foreign exchange students
and characters from overseas are not allowed.
Playing the Game
1) Once you are sorted and are ready to begin the game READ OTHER POSTS
to get a feel of how it is to RP.
2) Your character must be played realistically; he/she must have strengths, weaknesses, emotions. Without these your character is not real and you may as well be a god, if this is the case you will be warned, then further offenses you will be deleted. There is to be no Mary Sues or John Smiths, no body is perfect. Everyone has weaknesses and emotions.
3) Godding/Godsmending isn’t allowed, you cannot dictate another characters actions. for example:
<Aimon shot avadra kedavra at Nayau, she died>
This is not allowed and after an initial warning and banning an admin or moderator reserves the right to take further action: Suspension and banning.
4) Spells/hexes must either be taught by the subject teacher or from the Harry Potter books/games/films you cannot make up your own spells.
5) Sex is not allowed anywhere on the board at all. If any sexual act is noticed, an
admin will suspend you.
6) No student is stronger than any teacher or adult!!!!!! A teacher
will always beat you in a fight because they have more experience and
are more powerful. However students have the right to resist imperio
and dodge crucio and the killing curse, they also have the right to not
allow legilimens.
However in game training may overule this, for example if a student has
had training by an auror or more powerful wizard then the student would
indeed be more powerful. This has to happen in game.
7) If you play a teacher character you MUST post a lesson at least once
every three weeks. Failure to do this will mean removal from the position.
8) You must purchase the right items from the shop for your classes. Failure to do so will mean you will not be able to participate in them untill you do so.
9) Everybody must purchase Hogwarts robes and a wand from the shop. If you do not you will not be able to play untill you do.
10) New members will be given money to start off with when they are sorted.
Ranks
If a Mod tells you to do something, a Admin can overule it ONLY if
what the Mod said is unfair. Admin’s word is final.
Animagi Restrictions
1) No one is allowed to become an animagus without being selected from
a quarterly draw.
2) If you get drawn in a year quarter then you have the choice of beoming an animagus, you can choose any muggle animal. Animagus animals are a reflection of that person’s personality.
3) Magical animals, or muggle animals with magic are not allowed unless
authorised by a member in the group "admin".
4) You are not allowed to transform into an animagus form that a
current animagus transforms into, however if the person give you
permission to replicate that animagus you may become the same animal.
Signatures
Signatures are not allowed to contain more than one doll.
Signatures are allowed to contain a small text or banner advertisment.
Signatures are not allowed to contain any pornographic content.
Signature size is at the digression of admins [500 characters or less].
Signatures cannot be a picture of a celebrity or any famous person
Signatures cannot be the most beautiful person. This will be down to admin discression on whether to remove it or not.
If your signature is a photo sig, this must not be a picture that you are passing of as your character, unless it is a pic of yourself.
Any abuse of these rules, or going against these rules will cause for punishment of some kind at the discression of the admins, depending on the seriousness a simple warning may be given by either a mod or admin.
