Chatbox Rules

1) Be respectful to each other. It does not matter if you are a student or a teacher, Durmstrang or Beauxbatons, we all want to be treated with respect.

2) Keep private things private. If you are having an issue with someone, please take it to a PM. We don't want to witness your disagreement. Similarly, if someone is breaking a rule, please PM a staff member instead of cluttering the chatbox with complaints.

3) Be mindful of each others feelings. Playful teasing can be fun, but if someone asks you to stop, please stop. Continuing to do so would be bullying, and we don't like bullies.

4) Please avoid topics that may make people uncomfortable. We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. This includes but is not limited to religion, politics, and such similar topics. Those are conversations better had on MSN or Skype.

5) Decency rules still apply. Please keep the language in check, since we do have some younger members, and please do not *ahem* "get busy" in the chatbox.

6) You may choose any color text you want for the chatbox EXCEPT RED. Red is reserved for staff members who need to make official announcements/warnings.

NOTE: A lot of people here already know each other, so we do understand that the dynamic is a little different when everyone knows each other. Please just keep in mind that when someone joins the chatbox, they can see part of the conversation that they've just joined.

Rules are subject to change at any time.
