I honestly thought that we were always able to do this. I guess not. So this is new, then? The expectations are exactly how I thought they would be.
It's kinda crazy to see all these admins switching from a house they've been in forever. Especially since they'll have to carry out that new house for another seven terms. Quite the dramatic change.
I don't think I could ever leave Slytherin though, even if I was eligible. I signed up for this site with the hopes of being sorted into Slytherin.
But then again, I seem to come up with Gryffindor-like charries...hm.
Well, I'm only about to enter my fourth term so I shouldn't even bother to start thinking about it now. I've got a load more planned out for my current Slythie charrie.

Sorting is an initiation ceremony. Unique.
You turn the hat into an ordinary machine. Push the right buttons and you get what you want.
Wouldn't it be more honest to make the houses editable? Why all those questions when you can order the house you fancy today?
O_o
I think that's a very good point. I mean, user-wise it should be permanent, right? Because we can only ever be true to one house but I think for our charries we should be able to change houses.
Thing is, even though being able to edit your house as you please would be nice, having to stay in one house for at least seven terms is more of an opportunity than you would think. And being able to change that house and stay in it for another seven terms is even better.
For example, if you were originally sorted into a house you didn't want, you'd now have to make a charrie that is suitable for that house that you wouldn't have ever created had you gotten the house you wanted. And you could have loads of fun with that charrie and end up being grateful that you got sorted into the house you did. So it gives you an opportunity to RP out of the norm. But then seven terms is a long time and maybe you would like to try something else, so this re-sorting is a good idea as well. And it gives you another seven terms to...expand your horizons.
But if you could edit your house whenever you please, not only might it make things very confusing, but many people wouldn't think much about RPing a charrie in a different house, which can be a lot of fun. And I'm sure there are many more reasons that I can't think of right now because I'm half asleep and I need to get to bed.
