Rules for the re-opened threads and forums (UPDATED)

[i m a potter fool ^_^]

The time we have been waiting for, fellow Snitchseeker.com junkies, is here: some of the forums that were closed to prevent spoilers have been reopened!

However, before you get too excited, there are some rules about this. So, please bear with us for a moment and settle down to read.

The "Submit your signature here" thread has been opened, but there should be NO graphics or text in signatures (or avatars for that matter) that contain spoilers. That is why the rest of "Madam Malkins" is still closed until further notice.

Re-Opened Forums:
The Three Broomsticks (Fan Clubs)
Grimmauld Place (Fan Fiction)


The current rules of Grimmauld Place:
Please do not post any spoilers in this forum. We are not accepting
post-Deathly Hallows fan fictions just yet. Keep an eye out for that to change. But you guys can post in the regular fanfictions again.

Current rules of the Three-Broomsticks forum:

The fanclubs are officially and fully open. HOWEVER. Since you are allowed to post spoilers in there, we have the forum password protected.

SPOILER!!: password

snitch

Please keep in mind that the rest of the site still is a NO SPOILER zone. If you find a graphic in the fanclubs that has a spoiler, please do not use it until the spoiler ban is lifted. Or you will be suspended.


Thanks, guys! Enjoy!

UPDATE: Diagon Alley and Flourish & Blotts are both now open!

Diagon Alley is taking spoilers - however, if you want to talk about Book 7 please do not post in Floursh & Blotts about it. All Deathly Hallows discussion needs to continue in the Spoiler Forum.

On a side note, we'd like to mention that Scribbulus Everlasting Ink forum is still closed.

Thanks!

yay!!! im glad the FCs are re-opened!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the staff on this site do face spoilers weeks in advance. Would have preferred to have DH spoiled for you like the group of school children in the article in our News Section? Please note:

People joined HP sites, two years ago, just to post spoilers so they could destroy other people's enjoyment as they read Half-Blood Prince. We had a spoiler ban in place but didn't close new registrations and we got burned more than once. It isn't our established members we feared but those who were a lot like the dementors because they want to suck the joy from others, so please understand our intentions were on the behalf of every SS member who loves to read books for themselves.

PS: Join the SS Fan Club of your choice as a way to celebrate.

Haha A week before the book came out, I banned myself from the internet. To many spoliers/leaks I didn't even bother, but I'm glad to be back

[griffin_girl]

[DeathEater24601]

I run a doll contest in Scribbulus that I haven't been able to do anything with for weeks, but I guess that's just the way it goes! I'm sure it will open again eventually. I'm glad the other forums are all open now, and I'm sure everyone will follow the rules, at least I would certainly hope so!

[MalfoyzBeloved]

Yay for F.Fs for being up!
Thanks for the announcement also.

Just a random question (nothing rude intended), but do you (mods) have any idea when everything will be back up again? (like posting in Scribbulus) And when the Spoiler Ban will be lifted and such?
I'm just wondering

[xxALEISHAxx]
