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

That just means that one of your posts was delted. There is a reason why your post(s) was deleted. It was either because of spam, didn't follow the game rules (In the Newboe forum) correctly, ect.

Don't worry, just keep on posting.

I know this has been asked loads, but why do you just sort in certain months? And not the whole year round?

Because sorting takes place in between terms. Just like the HP, nobody is sorted in the middle of a terms. And since terms last about three months, sorting takes place every three months. Also the sorting is not automatic, meaning that the admins have to sort you manually and they have lots of responsibilities on the site so they can't be sorting people all year round.

2. The Chamber of Secrets
3. The Prisoner of Azkaban
4. The Goblet of Fire
5. The Order of Phoenix
6. The Half-blood prince
7. The Deathly Hallows

FYI, please refrain from asking questions about anything other than those related to the site and it's functioning in this thread in the future.

What is the most difficult part of being a moderator?

There is no "one particular" difficult part of being a moderator. It's an even job and requires work all around. A mod has to be unbiased, responsible and get as close to perfection as possible while helping out members of the site, as well as having their own fair share of fun.

Why aren't newbies allowed to edit their posts?
Is the answer obvious and I'm just missing it?

Well, most of the privileges given to the members are restricted to newbies who have under 10 posts. Newbies are confined to this forum, as well as the NEWS section. This has been set up as a measure to help the new members of the site familiarize with the rules before beginning their adventure on SS.

I know this has probably been asked loads of times but... When you have your ten posts, I know you cant post into the School RPG until your sorted but what about the Ministry RPG? Can you post there as soon as you have 10 posts?

Yes, you can participate in the Ministry RPG without being sorted. Just amke sure you apply for a position first in Level Eight.

[Zack Shelters]

Thanks! You've been a great help. I think its good that you let the members do this who havent been sorted yet do it so that we can get to know some people so that when we finally get sorted we wont be all alone and actually know some people.

You can see this link for the general rules.

Also, each thread may have a particular set of rules that may need to be followed. Please read the first page of the thread for any rules.

You can't post anywhere besides the Newbie Hut and the News as you are not a full member yet. It can take a while for the system to realized that you have made 10 posts. When you're a member, your username will turn blue.

Is there some way to be reminded of the sorting? Or will there just be an announcement?
Because, of course, I would love to be sorted but I'm afraid I'll forget without some sort of reminder lol

There will be announcements all around the site once the sorting begins. It's held over approximately 2 weeks. You'll definitely know when it's time.
