*It is extremely important that every member of this site has read these rules. They may change at any time, so continue to check back frequently to see if changes have been made. Everyone is expected to follow these rules under all circumstances. If you do not understand something, send me a PM and I will do my best to clarify it. If breaking of these rules occurs, consequences will follow. These rules are here to make this site as good as it can be, and to keep it in a good condition. Please follow all of them.

1. I understand that in your RPs and all, most of you are going to cuss some. I prefer for that not to happen, but I know that is going to be almost impossible. But please keep in mind that small children might be browsing the site, so please do not use any words that are too vulgar or dirty.

2. Obviously, all members aren't going to get along. Fights between your characters in RPs is fine, but true fights are not okay. If you get into an argument with someone, please take it to the PMs instead of posting it all. That will just make others get involved as well, and then people take sides and you have enemies. If the other person asks you to forgive them and just forget about the incident, then do so, and do not continue the argument. If someone continues to fight or say rude things, let me know immediately, and consequences will occur.

3. Do not make diss or make fun of anyone because of their gender, race, sexuality, or religion. You're supposed to build each other up, not tear each other down.

4. Do not steal any of the graphics, house names, ideas, or any other content from this website. It took time and effort, and it isn't fair if you steal it.

5. Members must be 13 and over. If you are younger than thirteen, you must get parental permission before joining.

6. Respect all members as well as staff and myself. We work very hard to keep this site running, so that your enjoyment with Beauxbatons can continue. If they ask for a favor every now and then, honor them and do it without complaint.

7. No spamming! Meaning, posting identical posts or threads repeatedly, creating posts that don't make sense, or posting for no reason whatsoever, just so people will know who you are.

8. Your display name must consist of the first and last name of your character. Nothing like 'adrianalimafan' or 'catfight227'.

9. Please try to use correct capitalization, punctuation, grammar and spelling. Even if your first language isn't English, you can click the 'spell check' button and your errors will be recognized. The password is piano. Don't make posts like the following: katie walked to the room. hey, she said. what are you doing, she asked ella. then they walked out.

10. The Proboards Rules are the most important to follow! If you break those, they can ban your IP address from ALL Proboards websites.

11. Your signature can be no larger than 600x500! They shouldn't be that size anyway. If you break that rule, you will lose the privilege of modifying your profile!

12. Advertising may only be done in the advertising board! No links in your signatures, no PMing people to join, and no posting about it anywhere other than the advertising board!
