Each sorting session occurs every three or so months in-between school terms, so the next one won't probably be held until sometime in May or June. =]

| Help!!!!
Yes I have read all of the FAQ and did my 10 post and became a member and anxiously awaited the sorting. I saw the post that the sorting was begining and went to take the quiz and it said that I was not authorized to go to the link. I can't figure out why. I guess I missed this sorting huh? Do you know what I can do so next time I can get sorted?
Thanks | |

Someone would either have to know you quite well to be able to guess what you generally use for passwords, or you yourself would have to give it to them... or, they would have to be fairly good key-loggers. In my year of being on staff and to my knowledge, it's never happened. So, it's not really something anyone needs to worry about unless the issue arises. =] Quote:

Why is that? | Probable because some were spam. If a mod sees a post that is spam or a double post, we will delete them. | |

a double post is what you just did. posting more than once without another in between.
It only takes about 20 to 45 minutes. It isn't too long and it's just the way the system is set up.

How do you define spam?
When we are sorted for the first time can we be in any year or do we have to be in year one? | |

And you can choose whichever year you would like to be in though most members choose to start in their first year  Quote: |

The next sorting is in May or June. After you're sorted, you can participate in the school RP.
