Welcome to Strath Haven Boarding School, we are looking forward to seeing you this term. There are a few things we would like you to remember before the fun starts. Registering and Application Guidelines: 1. First and Last Names: When you register please be sure to include a first and last name. This keeps the Role Play more realistic. People that only have first names or screen names such as cherryluvr34 will be deleted on site and you’ll have to re-register. 2. Read all of the rules and Information: This is important if you want to continue to stay on this site. Also please keep track of the plot topic, for it keeps track of time and other such things. And you need to look the course select topics. 3. Filling out your Application: I know that you want your application to the school to be the best it can be, but I need it in, in a timely manner. So you should have your application posted within a week of registering or you will not be accepted and we will have to remove you from the site (I.E. Delete your account). This is because it helps us tell if you will be dedicated to the site or not. Also you must wait for approval before starting to Role Play and we don't want to have to wait forever for you to post your application to get it approved before you can role play. 4. Avatars: The avatar list can be found in the School Information forum. We have this topic to keep an organized list of what is available (anything NOT on the list), this makes it easier so that we don't have 50 Keira Knightly’s running around on the site. As we all know, nobody has that many twins. So before you pick an avatar please check the list. And when you do pick one make sure to tell us on the list. 5. Admins: The admins are here to help both you and me. They have full right to tell you to fix your applications, or to approve or disapprove your application. They are also here to help you out, please don't abuse them if they are trying to help you, whether you think they are or not. They are just trying to make this as fun an experience for all of us as it can be. Role-Playing Rules: 1. God modeling: This is one of the biggest problems on a Role-Playing Site and we don't want this to be a problem here. If any of the admins see this they will be warned once and then banned for a week. 2. Sexual Content/ Language/ Internet Langague: This site is PG-13, if you want to go up to R, we will start a forum for it. But please realize that there are some people who come on sites like these at the ages of 12 and 13. The language issue is simple, keeping the cursing to a minmum, we don't want to see this privledge being abused so only use it when it is nessairy. We are all lirteral here (at least I hope so), so that means that internet lingo is prohibited, this is not a chat room so I do not want to see such things as “lol” or “omg” in role play. 3. Posting Length: I know this is a pain, but it is a nessary to keep the site running. I want all replies to be at least one to one paragraph long, which is 100+ words. I know it might be tough, but if you think about it there are many things you can do to lengthen your posts. Just keep in mind that there are things to say, see, do, and hear. Use your five senses. 4. Age: This is almost self-explanatory, think of the normal age for your grade. You wouldn't be 13 and in 11th grade. Just keep it realistic. 5. Limits on Characters (10): The most number of characters you may have is ten. The reason being that I don’t want people creating a new character every week. I want you to develop them a little, and not to just leave them out to rot. Also, when you make a new character you need to have at least 30 posts under for each of your characters; it shows us that you are not just going to leave them out to dry. Graduation and Class Requirements: 1. Attending Classes: If your character is a student please be sure that they attend every class that they have signed up for in the Student Schedules Topic. In order to graduate to the next grade they must attend at least each class once and write a post that is at least a four paragraph minimum. Yes this is a little bit hard but if you do this it will show that you are ready to graduate to the next year. Keep in mind that this is a Role Play about a School, and classes are in schools. Yes you may have a lot of classes to attend, but keep in mind that you are trying to advance before the plot, so it's going to be a bit harder. 2. Advancing a Grade: Please note that the faster you finish you classes the less you have to worry about at the end of term. Once the plot of the year is finished the term is finished. If you do not have the desired amount of classes posted you fail your year and don’t move on. *Remember you only have to complete your main courses in order not to fail. 3. Graduation: If you are a senior (12th Grade), please take note that after the term's plot you will be graduating and leaving Strath Haven. This is the perfect time to get things ready to move your character forward into the real world, maybe a college or straight into the work force. When the term ends we should have options for you on the site, or we might have some sister sites then, but that's when the time comes. Other Information: 1. Maximum Avatar Size: The maximum avatar size is 100x100 if you have any problems getting it to take size please contact me. 2. Violation of the Rules: Please let me know or one of the other admins if you see anyone violating the rules. But usually we find that out anyways. 3. Site Advertisements: If you wish to advertise your site please post it in the Directory but you must have a link back to Strath Haven within 2 days or I will remove your advertisement. |
