>>[/color] The board is rated PG-13. Do not post explicit content on any of our boards; this includes PM. If you receive a PM with this sort of material, report it to any staff member. Posting content above PG-13 is against Proboards TOS. If content is found to violate this rule, there will be an immediate ban.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] Advertisements are only to be made in the advertising board. This includes the CBox. Guests and members alike are only to advertise in the advertising board. No sites rated above PG-13 are allowed. Links to sites will result in the site being deleted and the member being given a one month's ban. If the member posts another link to another site above the accepted rating level, they will be banned permanently. No exceptions.

>>[/color] Aresto Momentum is an English speaking site, so we request members keep different languages to a minimum. Versteht ihr? Probably not. This is German for "Do ya'll understand?" See how annoying this is to understand? No one wants to have to go to a translator just to understand what another is saying, so if you want your character speaking another language, please make sure you have a translation.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] Use proper English. This also refers to chat speak. It's only allowed in the CBox, and even then we ask you keep it to a minimum. But it is not allowed in RP threads. We also encourage proper grammar, but the English is arguably the hardest language to learn, so we aren't real big on this, but make your post at least legible.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
REGISTERING
>>[/color] Members must have an individual account per character as well as a member's account. When registering with a new character, you may register as whatever you want, just make sure the username ends up being FIRST MIDDLE LAST. For example, HARRY JAMES POTTER.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] If you join, make sure you have a character profile started within a week. Character applications don't have to be finished, but we want this to be an active site, and if character apps aren't posted in a week, it shows you aren't dedicated, and you will be deleted.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
CHARACTERS
>>[/color] Alright, so everyone likes the canon characters, and there's nothing wrong with that, just don't become a hog. We only allow two canon characters per person.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] When first joining, you have a week to get your character application up, and a month to complete it. This goes with any character you decide to create. Any character not completed after thirty days time when it was completed, the character will then be moved to the inactive characters and the member will be informed.

>>[/color] Hogwarts is in Great Britain. , but because of the plot, American students are allowed as well. This doesn't mean that every other culture is turned away (after all, the US is known as the Melting Pot), but we want to keep the numbers evenly distributed. If German speaking students start to rule the school, there will be a ban on them.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] When selecting face claims, make sure the person seems able to play a person in that range area. We don't want Miley Cyrus the face claim for a thirty year old woman.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] Unless twins, no two characters may have the same face claim. Now, this is what a face claim thread is for. That way, we can keep track of who is who, and we don't have seven different Megan Fox's running around. If a member allows you to use the face claim they have, then it's fine if you do, but keep this to a minimum. Caution is a good source for trying to find a play by, so if stuck, use you resources.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]POSTING
>>[/color] Members are only allowed to post with characters that have been accepted. This is to make sure that we can keep track of every character in every house, and also so that we don't have students who are all powerful. If you fail to comply to this rule, you will get a warning. Next time, you're banned from a month, and admins have the right to go from there.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] Members are asked to post at least in one thread a week. We understand that life tends to enjoy getting in the way, and so this is a rule we're more lenient on, but do try to stay active.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] We have a minimum word count of 200 words. This is about two five sentence paragraphs. If you're unable to make this word count, or dip under it occasionally, no worries, we understand trying to get muse is like beating a dead horse, but try to stay within the word count.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] Normal rules apply when roleplaying. No godmodding, powerplaying, things like that. Your character doesn't know everything, so don't have a third year student who can cast the killing curse. First off, the character will be sentenced to Azkaban, and second off, not even most seventh year students would be able to accurately cast this spell.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
GRAPHICS
>>[/color] Don't stretch the page. This means any image that is over 500 pixels will have to be shrunken down. If you don't know how to do this, then find someone who does.
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
>>[/color] Every member is only allowed a signature space of 500x500 and one avatar that cannot exceed 200x300. A code is in place on the board that will resize any avatar that exceeds 150x200.
