(note: the first three rules are more like suggestions rather than rules; I don't have a punishment for you if you don't follow them)
1) Specify when you are talking out of character and when you're not.
2) If you're more than one character, specify which one that you are posting as.
3) Make one of your characters your avatar or signature.
(note: the next few rules ARE RULES, AND MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THEM ONCE, YOU WILL BE WARNED. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THEM TWICE, YOU WILL BE BANNED PERMENANTLEY.)
4) Do not constantly complain when nothing is happening because that gets rather annoying to everyone.
5) No posts involving your character having sex with another character. Kissing is allowed, but no sex. (You can mention that your characters had sex, but you can't roleplay the sex.)
6) Every roleplayer can have up to eight characters, two per House. You cannot be canon Harry Potter student characters (ex: Luna, Harry, Hermione, etc.), nor can you count teachers as your characters. Teachers can be usable by any roleplayer at any time as long as another roleplayer is not using them.
7) NO INVOLVING RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IN THE STORY. IF YOU HAVE GOD OR ANY OTHER RELIGIOUS FIGURE SHOW UP, THEN YOUR IP IS PERMANENTLY BANNED. (Your characters can still get married, go to church/temple, pray, etc. though.)
8) NO LETHAL FORCE. I don't care if you're a hero or a villain, you can't use lethal force on other people's characters. (It's alright if you use it on S.H.I.E.L.D. agents or a bad guy that you're controlling, but otherwise it's against the rules.)

If your idea is boring though, and that's why you're easy to distract...well, that's a really fantastic reason for not being able to focus on the task at hand! In that case, head back to the drawing board. And again, don't give up!"- Marjorie Liu, NYX: No Way Home interview
"Really? That's INANE. Most people in life don't HAVE great power, and the few that do are almost NEVER responsible with it. The people who have the greatest responsibility are the kids with NO POWER because we're the ones who have to keep everybody else in check."- Gertrude Yorkes, Runaways (vol. 2) #11
