Let's keep it simple!
1. No harassment or abusive language-- this includes name-calling, threats, and abusive language that denigrates someone on the basis of race/ethnicity/gender identity/sexual orientation/ability. Please note that abusive language is forbidden IC and OOC. It's fine for your character to insult another character on the basis of his/her awkward personality/weird hat/ugly pet toad, but you may not use insults based on race/ethnicity/gender identity/sexual orientation/ability in your IC writing. This is in order to maintain a safe space for all users. If you observe harassment or abusive language, please let an admin know immediately.
2. We are a PG-13 RPG-- we allow limited profanity, non-graphic violence, mentions of alcohol/drug use and abuse, and kissing. In general, we ask you to make your decisions about content based on necessity. If you feel it is critical for your character to express him/herself in a pivotal moment by using profanity, that's your choice. What we ask you to avoid is gratuitous profanity (i.e., a character who just loves to swear regardless of the situation). Characters may drink alcohol, but be aware that any alcohol abuse by underage characters is liable to be punished by professors. Drug use/abuse may be mentioned, but not instructed, elaborated on, or glorified. There is no sex or nudity allowed on Statute of Secrecy. Non-graphic violence is fine, but please avoid any extended description of topics that may be sensitive for some users, such as sexual violence, self-harm, and abuse.
3. Think before you write-- use good etiquette. Don't god-mod (control or imply another character's actions in your post). Don't post inappropriately short or inappropriately long responses. If you are in a thread with many participants, try to give each character a chance to reply before posting a second time. If you are new to forum roleplaying, check out this link to learn more about how it works!
4. If in doubt, ask!-- do you want a character with a special ability? Want your character to set up a school-wide club, or get involved in a site-wide plot? Just contact an admin and ask!
