the rules ,,

these are the rules of sectumsempra. they are here to keep to the site running smoothly, and you are expected to follow them. i have tried to keep these short and sweet. fail to follow them? you will get 3 warnings, after that you will be banned for 3 days, an week, an month, and then forever.

• once you have registered, you should either reserve a cannon, or begin to work on your application.
  
• there will be one (1) face claim per person, unless they are a twin or triplet. if an inactive member has a celebrity you would like to use, PM the sorting hat account and we will discuss it.

posting ,,

• the minimum word count on here is 250 words per post. i understand if you have an off day, but don’t make it an habit.
  
• chat speak is not tolerated on here unless you are in the c-box. meaning, you should keep good grammar and spelling in mind.
  
• god modding and power playing is a major no on here. that means you can't take control of a character without the owners permission. all posts are also to be in third person.

graphics ,,

• signatures should be no larger than 500 x 300. you may have 2 images that are 200 x 300 or 3 images that are 100 x 100. in other words, don’t stretch the board.
  
• all characters should have a signature and an icon. if you are unable to make graphics, you can post a request in the graphics board.
  
• no porn or offensive graphics. if we see this, you will automatically get a warning. keep animations to a minimum, and please use decent quality pictures. if you are using some else’s graphics, credit the artist.

rating ,,

• the board, in it's entirety, is rated pg-13. that means swearing, light violence and some sexual situations. that doesn't mean full blown sex. if you're going to have a full blown sex thing, take it to email, not on the board.
  
• cursing is allowed both IC and OOC.
  
• yes, your characters can have kids, please PM the sorting hat account first.
