Tags are usually given out at Random, you can't request them. You can also join clubs and become involved with those. Obtaining a club position is a good way to get a Tag. Many clubs give out Tags for joining, so you might want to look into that. =D Quote:

If you need a visual to understand what I am referring to please click the following links. One & Two | |

The members answer them to help out the Staff/Mods/Admins a bit.
So yeah, anyone can answer a question.  | |

I am not able to access my User CP, the forum page or any other part of the site except the HNH. Is this because I'm still a newbie? How long does it take to become a member after making your first ten posts? | |

are you really sure | Please ask only specific questions in here and do not double, triple and quadruple post.
PAMS is an acronym for "Please Add More Soon" and is often posted in reference to fan fiction, asking the writer to post more story soon.
"No post replies" means a thread has not received any replies to it. The only post in the thread is the original, first post. | |

I know that if your name is light blue it means you're a member, but what do the rest of the colors mean? | |

In between the school rpg term, you can get sorted, then your name will change to your house color. Quote:

I dion't remember what the sorting quiz was like. But you just take the quiz and they'll sort you. You'll get whatever house you actually belong in. | |

When you've made 10 posts, and graduated to member, it becomes baby blue (like my name is presently). When you are sorted, it becomes red, blue, yellow or green, depending on which house you are sorted into - namely - Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, HufflePuff and Slytherin respectively. Besides these colors, there are other colors too. For a full list of these, please refer to this link. It gives you a list of all the colors and what they represent.
