Yeah, we all know it. The dreaded rules. Everyone has to have them though, so we'll keep it as short as possible.
Educational Decree #1
No God-modding! This means no taking control of a person. The only exceptions are to progress the plot. Meaning Bill is supposed to announce something and we don't have a Bill yet. Only if it is absolutely necessary, you may do this. The other exception is if you use the Imperious Curse on someone, and they say specifically that you may do this to their character.
Educational Decree #2
Post in Third Person. This means, Harry walked, not I walked or you walked. The only acception is in chat and out of character threads. Also if you want to add a little note to the person you are RP'ing with, you must do it like so. ((Hello!)) Please follow this rule since it provides clarity.
Educational Decree #3
One character per account. This helps provide clarity on which characters a person has, and are posting as. If you want more than one character, make another account. No multiple characters on one account are allowed, unless special permission has been granted.
Educational Decree #4
Word Count. This is a big deal. There really is no word count, but we do ask for a good paragraph, of at least five sentences. Also don't let more than half of your post be quote, or what your person says, have them do something or think something. Just not complete talking posts.
Educational Decree #5
Out of Character you must respect everyone. Be nice, let new people join in the conversations. Plot with others, whether it just be open a thread for a new person to join. Help the new people join in and get going.
Educational Decree #6
No Gary-Sues or Mary-Sues. This doesn't mean your character can't be named Gary-Sue or Mar-Sue, but rather no perfect characters. Everyone has faults. This also means you have to lose a few times. Even the famous Harry Potter has lost. Get hit a few times in a duel. You can't win every time.
Educational Decree #7
Signatures. Nothing above PG-13. This means no sex, drugs, gore, or anything too bad (This includes extreme religious items since it might offend someone, though mentions are allowed, just nothing like Jesus on the cross). Also keep the size at 500x350, so you don't stretch the board.
Educational Decree #8
Keep everything PG-13. Nothing more. Otherwise this wouldn't be a RP site for all ages. If there is something more than this, use a time fast forward, or black out. No actually RP'ing it. Talking about it after wards, well that's a separate issue. Just keep everything PG-13 and it'll all be fine.
And just like that, you're done. Make sure you read the rules thoroughly and you'll be just fine. Have fun!
