GENERAL RULES
The following is a list of the general rules which apply to [EM]'s forums. Please keep these in mind when posting and interacting on this site.

     1. All members must register with a first and last name; those who fail to do so may be mistakenly considered spam and deleted. If you have just joined and need your name changed, please post a request in Help and Support Requests to have an Administrator fix it for you.
     2. All new members start out as first year students, with the exception of canon or adult characters.
     3. Depictions of suicidal acts, murder and killing, overtly sexual situations, or major violence are prohibited from this site. If you wish to roleplay or depict one of these you must send a copy to an Administrator for approval before posting. Please note that only very special, well-reasoned cases will be considered.
     4. Unrealistic situations also require approval by Administrators. These are inclusive of being a Death Eater, being an Order Member, being a special race, having mental illnesses, and more. Please note this list is not comprehensive and situations are subject to the Administrators' discretion.
     5. Any personal information including, but not limited to, names and addresses are not to be posted in the interest of member safety. Administrators reserve the right to delete anything deemed to be endangering of a member's personal safety from the board.
     6. Advertising is only allowed in the Advertising forum and all rules regarding such are to be followed.
     7. This site is rated PG-13, therefore strong language or unchecked aggression, both in and out of character, will not be tolerated. Respect is expected of all members, towards all members, at all times.
     8. Only Administrators and Moderators are allowed to post in colour; please refrain from doing so outside of the plot chart area.

Please keep in mind that the repeat breaking of any rules, current or future, is subject to banning. Also, please do not take conflict into your own hands; if another member is disregarding the rules, feel free to send a PM to one of the Administrators with your concern. Thank you.

(The secret word for your Ministry File application is Wizengamot so keep that at the front of your brain!)

POSTING RULES
Please keep these rules in mind when making posts in areas of the site designated for roleplay. Remember that constant rule-breaking will be dealt with accordingly.

     1. All general roleplays are to be at least one paragraph, with 180+ words; one-sentence responses are not allowed. If you are having trouble thinking of a roleplay, feel free to explore the class lessons.
     2. All lesson posts must be at least two paragraphs, with 325+ words; keep in mind that it takes more than one try for a student to master a spell.
     3. As a PG-13 site, strong language is not allowed. Mild language is acceptable in moderation, but overdoing it may result in a warning via personal message.
     4. Out of character messages included in roleplaying posts must be clearly noted and cannot exceed 50 words. Please try to keep out of character discussions to PMs and plot charts.
     5. Please correctly follow all posting formats, forms, and guides if such is indicated in the first post of a thread or topic, or in the rules specific to that forum.
     6. Each member is to only write his or her own character's reaction; "god-moding" (or writing another character's actions for them) is not allowed.
     7. Members are not allowed to roleplay a character performing a spell they have not learned; to do so risks punishment both in and out of character.
     8. All in-character posts must be written in third person, with as much adherence to proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation rules as possible.

If you feel that another member is not adhering to these rules, if you have any questions regarding the rules, or feel that a rule needs to be added, please send a personal message to one of the site's Administrators. Thank you!

IMAGE RULES
Please keep these rules in mind when creating, requesting, or using graphics for character portrayal in all avatars and signatures.

     1. [EM] does not have a limit on neither the individual size of each image or blinkie, nor the amount of text allowed, but signatures must be no larger than 550 x 325 pixels (therefore it must fit inside this box).
     2. Members are asked to refrain from using pictures in which a person is inappropriately clothed to represent their characters. (This means shirtless, nude, and low-cut portrayals are not allowed.)
     3. As student characters fall within the ages of pre-teen or teen, any celebrity representations should mirror this; the celebrities should appear to be no older than 30 years of age in each picture (i.e. no facial hair for males; no especially busty women for females).
     4. Characters may not be represented by cartoon drawings or anime figures.
     5. Members are not allowed to use a celebrity or model whose image has already been claimed by another member for their character. (Please refer to the avatar claims topic to stake your claim.)
     6. Members are not allowed to use pictures of celebrities who portray main or canon characters in the Harry Potter movies.

Breaking of these rules repeatedly is subject to warning via personal message; any questions regarding these rules can be sent to one of the Administrators. Thank you.
