Questions and Answers

[Mistress Vondella]

• Try to read all the information before asking any questions.
• Any questions you may have should be posted here.
• Follow the rules, or the posts will be deleted.

If you have any questions about the rules or site related issues, please ask it here. We're here to help you with the site, not your life, not Harry Potter, and not anything else ok? For graphics-related help, go to the Questions & FAQ thread in Madam Malkin's. Also check the Prefects' Office if you are not a Newbie and need help.

If you know the answer to a newbie's question, feel free to answer it, but anyone who replies in a non-friendly way in here will most likely be punished.

Also, don't pretend to ask something just so it looks like you're not spamming out of the Newbie Hut. It's selfish, takes up other people's time and will result in a big, ugly, scary PM from one of us telling you off.

Thanks

You might've saved some messages you have sent. In your inbox, right below Jump to Folder, instead of inbox, choose Sent Items. There you will see the messages you have saved.

url means the website address. For SnitchSeeker, the URL is http://www.snitchseeker.com.

The next sorting will start on Sep. 3rd.

since you're still a newbie you can only post in Platform 9/34, you can't post anywhere else until you've become a member. to be a member you have to have 10 legit posts, you will know you are a member when your user name turns a light blue color.

the sorting doesn't open until September 3rd. the sorting is just a test that consists of several multiple choice questions, once you finish and submit it a mod or admin will look over it and determine which house you should be in.

Oops, just found it. I have another question, what if we get sorted into a house and we don't want to be in it. Is there a way out?

Please remember to not double post. It is considered SPAM and will only hurt your post count.

Once you are sorted into a house that is the house you will stay in, regardless if it’s not the house you want. No one house is better than the other. All houses are equal and wonderful. There is no way to change the house that you are sorted into.

You are doing it. What you have made just now is called a post. In this forum, Platform 9 3/4, you need to make 10 such posts before you become a member on the site. Once you have become a member, you are allowed access the rest of the site including your profile, messaging, etc.

Quotable Quips can be found in the OOC forum for the SS School RP, located on the left side of your screen.

Because that way you get to know the rules of the site and how the site works. And that way we can lower the number of spammers on the site.

That date hasn't been set yet, But it would be around three months later.

Everything you must know can be found here.

The sortings take place about every three months. The next one will start on Sept. 3rd. And please, don't SPAM.
