[hl=darkblue]K's Sorting House Song[/hl]

When you all first saw me
I was just in a book
But now I'm on the boards
For newbs to take a look.

Put me on and you will see
Just where you're meant to be
Who your kin are and who you will
Be chatting with incessantly.

You could be put in Gryffindor
Stories of hardships that you braved
Godric's Hollow is where you dwell
Until someone needs to be saved.

You could be in Hufflepuff
Where all are loyal and true
The House of Love is where you'll burrow
If this is where I put you.

Ravenclaw is another choice
For the smartest among you all
The Raven's Tower is where you perch
When the books, you hear call.

Perhaps you belong in Slytherin
With a cunning and sly group
The Serpens Vorago is where you'll slither
If for power, you're willing to doup.

So try me on, it won't take long
I'll tell you where to go
Join the fun, join the crowd
Get into the flow!

Good conversations, crazy theories
Leave all shipping talk at the mat
Put me on, I'll tell you where you belong
For I am the Sorting Hat!

this will take affect on december 1, 2004.

Headmaster- 3 months no more than 2 terms in a year

head of house- 3 months as a check date.

prefects- up to Head of House


points: may be taken by Head of House, headmaster/headmistress, and Prefects in their house's common room

loss:

5 points: Any normal student posting on the points thread would get 5 points docked

10 points: If you are in a common room that isn't your house unless you are Head of House or headmaster/headmistress


20 points: minor TOS violation(ie spamming, swearing, ans such). will also be subject to ban on the boards.

50 points: first violatioin of major TOS violations(ie posting porn, piracy). violators will be subject to a IGN ban in addition

100 points: second violation of Major TOS violations(ie posting porn, piracy). violators will be subject to a IGN ban in addition

Gain:

contests: only contests ran by head of houses, the headmaster or the quidditch matches are subject to gains. Also any head of house and the headmaster may award points at any time for a really good(pending headmaster/mistress approval).

quick addendum:
All points gained/losses will be given to the headmaster/mistress either through aim, pms, or email(in case of not having aim or insider).

Another quick addendum from Gwyn:
I'd like to see points given for the contests, 5 for every winning caption and 2 for the runner up. Also I'd like to see 1 or 2 points awarded for every correct guess in the quotes game. This is where i make the excepion to the first rule, the creator of the caption contest may post on the points thread to announce the winners, and how many points are awarded (if there is a tie, the points are given to both winners). And whoever posted the quote to be guessed, may post on the points thread saying who won.

I'd like to see a little more points giving in general. For example, a member was looking for images of voldemort from the movie, and eventualy hawk found and posted one. Since she did that good deed, she should have gotten some points from whoever saw it first. Also posting interesting threads, maybe a cool HP site that we've never seen before, or some interesting news or whatever. Points should go for that.

In conclusion
Rosebud
Thank you headmistress


This will be periodically edited by a mod to reflect changes in our board point system. Another post in this thread will be made that will contain house point totals, and it will also be periodically edited.

When this thread starts to fill up, this post and the point total posts will be edited into the original post.

New users please note: On this board we do not consider discussion of the 6th (and all previous) books as spoiler material anymore, and such things are freely discussed. If you wish to not be spoiled, I would highly suggest not posting here.

Of course, at this time Book 7 (DH) spoilers are still just that, and must be warned about.
