- Before all else, Respect is to be shown to every member of Hogwarts Academy of Magic. I do not expect a person to always get along with every member of the site, but that does not mean that you can't be civil and courteous to them. This maintained and mutual level of respect is the very basis that supports our site, so you would do well not to disturb it.
- Going along with the theme of respectful treatment of all other members, Verbal Attacks and Slandering are STRICTLY PROHIBITTED. This includes and is not limited to racial, sexual, and stereotypical comments or 'innocent' jokes, threatening, swearing excessively, and discriminatory remarks. Please, the reasons as to why should be obvious. No warnings will be given for a member seen participating in such activities. They will have their account suspended for three days minimum.
- Please do not post any links or pictures leading to pornographic/explicit websites. This includes pictures in your profile, links, and posted images, mind you. Anyone caught posting such links and/or images will have the offending object(s) removed from their profile and their posting abilities limited. Repeat offenders will be banned.
- When posting on any forum, please try your very best to use grammatically correct English and correct spellings. I understand entirely that not all of our members are native English speakers, but I do ask that you at least make an attempt at correct phrasing. Shorthand (how r u, cuz, l8r) is unacceptable, and at any rate extremely annoying. Also, please refrain from using l337 and other unspoken computer languages that are floating around out there. Warnings will be issues, but those who continue with such dialect will have their posting rights limited.
- Every member of Hogwarts must read and have general understand of the plot for Hogwarts Academy of Magic. Remember, on the character application, when I say earth, you say quake. This can be found under the Hogwarts Academy of Magic Information and Updates sub board in General Information. Other smaller plot information can be found in Character Development.
- Lastly, in order to keep the forum looking clean and loading fast, all signature images must be within 500 pixels (width) x 300 pixels (height) and 200 kilobytes, or else they will be deleted. It is highly recommended that you also include your character(s)'s name, house, and year.
