Out of Character Rules:
These rules, like all the rules here on SnitchSeeker, are aimed at making the experience here better and safer for everyone who wishes to play.

1. Site Rules apply at all times.

2. Know the Difference between IC and OOC (In Character and Out of Character) Out of Character I am Tegz, In character my character is Althea Schirmer. Please don't confuse her actions with mine, or take IC actions as personal towards you as an RPer. If I need to follow something up with you out of character, it will happen via PM.

3. Out of Character offences will be punished out of character with warnings or infractions as required.

4. IC offences will be punished IC, with point loss, detention or other punishments for your character. Sometimes this can be a LOT of fun! Don't stress if your character gets in trouble, simply let them learn from it (or not) and grow as a person (or not). If you WANT your character to get detention however, please talk to me about it first as it wouldn't be fair to your housemates to make them lose a whole lot of points just so you can have a laugh. We might be able to work something out.

5. Plagiarism is serious. Do not take credit for work that is not yours. While generally offences of plagiarism and cheating will be addressed IC, it may be followed up OOC at the discretion of the moderators. This includes editing your post to include answers that have been given by those who have posted before you. You will not get house points for doing this.

6. House points will be given based on participation and on following instructions within the lesson. In general at least five posts are necessary to earn points for yourself. Where not enough posts are made, you will receive one point that will be added as participation points for your house as a whole rather than individually under your name.

7. Important information and lesson-specific rules and guidelines will always be linked or added to the first post of a lesson thread. You will be able to see where the class is up to and what is expected of you by taking a look at the first post and reading the information given. Where strikethroughs are given, the information no longer applies or newer information is more relevant. Please do not answer questions once we have already moved on! You will not get points for doing this as the answers will have been covered already!
