Hello dear Harry Potter Forum members!!!

Harry Potter Forum is growing at a massive rate, in fact we just touched 200 pages... but one must follow the rules of the forum, in order to avoid ANY sort of controversies...😊

Some of the following rules are based on what has been posted in viewbie's section, so you know EXACTLY how/why...

Rules:

* NO profanity, sexual content, bashing of any member/star or advertising of any sort

* If the POTD has been posted, please do not post again... else it will be locked.

* Please check before you post an article, whether it has been posted already. If it has, then the topic will be locked.

* All topics regarding full inboxes shall be locked once it has been seen.

* For private messages to a person, do not post, Use the PM facility.


Warning PMs will be sent: (From the Viewbie's section)

- If member is requesting Videos

- If member is saying "thanks", "thanks for sharing", "tfs" instead of using the "Thanks" feature.

- If member is posting videos/updates/articles/pictures from other forums or with links of other forums on them.

- If member is posting comments in galleries or other "No Comment" threads

- If member is spamming the section with articles (judgement call by viewbie)

- MID (Multiple ID) cases

- If they are chatting in any section, other than the Chat Club



If one recieves more than 2 warnings, the warning level will be raised by 20%... Please take warnings seriously...

If a personal attack is made, profanity is used, or if a person is spamming using smileys, etc... The warning level will be increased WITHOUT WARNING.

Remember, if your topic has been locked for some reason, don't take it personally, and learn from it. 😊

The last thing the HP dev team wants to do is raise your warning level, so give us NO reason to do so 😊

In the POTD , please post ur comments and not just "thanks"

The Viewbies will be doing the "Member of the Week" henceforth

Dont post anything in the Picture Gallery except ofcourse pictures😆

Please dont type in all caps as it is considered shouting & rudeness on the net

Advertisements are not allowed


Please read --> Important -->https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/harry-potter/440258/please-read


With loadsa love,


Harry Poter Dev team


(Meghavi, *Rashmi*, Misha, Radz_2cool, ~*Manshi*~ and Me) *sighs*😆

😛 I pledge on my honour that I will do my best to be good, rulitive and NOT to trouble the sweet viewbies specially Sam!!! 😉 Or shall I be bad so u can do ur duties lolz!!!(teasing0do not take seriously!!) 😛

😉 Sam jii I have some suggestions(not good-but they came into my mind some time back)

Cud we create ONE sticky topic titled something like
Member Shout-Outs
It shall contain-All empty ur PM inbox posts, all I'm a IF Dazzler etc and congo posts,all where is this missing person? posts and all other such types(BUT not Bday parties plz cos they are fun lolz and useful!!!)

I've noticed lots of ppl post News, which is very nice and helpful of them and really deserve our appreciation cos they do all the hard working of visiting those sites, copying andpasting. However, sometimes that doesn't create a disxcussion and members just say thanks and actually they have nothing else to say... Well...could e create a post every week with the topic News Fpr The Week. All the members can post news for that particular week inside the topic. It would create more useful and good discussions. Plus I think it would be nice if we could give a award like News Poster Of The Month for the member who contributes most in posting news and creating related discussions.

Oh don't you dare missy! I might love you n all, but I can still warn you!

😉 Sam jii I have some suggestions(not good-but they came into my mind some time back) Let's see!!! 😃

Cud we create ONE sticky topic titled something like
Member Shout-Outs

Yes, I agree birthday posts shouldn't be there... but I think even Inbox posts can't go there, as that would take time, and people don't really notice... a better solution would be to keep your inbox clear... lolz... I kno i know... "Looks who's talking".... but guess what? I got 100 more PM Space!!! Eeeyaaaaahhhhh!!!!!1 lolz.... yeah, so that leaves IF dazzler n all that stuff.... but that has to be strictly moved to the Member's lounge......... And finally there's where the person post... well we could have one post for that, but i don't think it should be made a sticky.... look at our first page! 😆 There's no space for normal posts😆.... And one more thing, when such a post is made, when the person comes back, the topic will be closed..... If anyone else thinks this would help, please reply here... 😛

I've noticed lots of ppl post News, which is very nice and helpful of them and really deserve our appreciation cos they do all the hard working of visiting those sites, copying andpasting. However, sometimes that doesn't create a disxcussion and members just say thanks and actually they have nothing else to say... Well...could e create a post every week with the topic News Fpr The Week. All the members can post news for that particular week inside the topic. It would create more useful and good discussions. Plus I think it would be nice if we could give a award like News Poster Of The Month for the member who contributes most in posting news and creating related discussions.
Again, this could be done... however, I feel that this would reduce discussion... Everything would be in one post, and how do we know what we're commenting on? I know what you meant Natz, about the Thank you's well, I didn't know if it was really an offense, but it's posted that a viewbie can send a warning if a person says thank you and doesn't use thank you button! So now we know... if you see this happening, PM me at once, ok? Or anyone on the dev team....(Of HP😆)...... I like the idea of News poster very much though..........😳 It's somewhat like MOTW............ but that leads me to think.... shall we have a different name for our motw? Like witch of the week... or something? What do you think?😛

Very nice suggestions, Nutz!!!

-Sam 😊

Omg, I don't believe this... I just checked in Viewbie's.... and this was a previous idea by Mysti di! aka T. ... wait, lemme show you

Witch/Wizard in Spotlight - this is the member of the week with our own little twist to it. Basically, we were planning to pick HP members at random and allow members to ask them questions



This is just a part of the post.... I think we should implement this! It's such a hit you in the face idea! And this beats my idea of witch of the week..........! What do you say?
