Admin Apologies

In regards to the above message, you may notice a number of members are leaving us.

I would like to extend an apology to all members who will be affected by their leaving and if there is anything the admin team can do to assist you in getting re-situated with your characters after these losses, please let us know.

We wish everyone who leaves us the best of luck in their future endeavours and if you still have contact with them, feel free to share our good wishes.


Thanks,

Addressing Concerns

Ever since INH has existed, the rules have been subject to change, and have been changed based on the actions and decisions of the site members and admin teams. Every rule change has been a discussion among the staff and the entire site has been updated when major rules changes have occurred. This is not new and will continue to be the standard of INH.

If you disagree with a rule, do not hesitate to come forward and it will be discussed. This doesn’t mean changes will occur, but it will still be considered, as it always has in the past.

If you find people breaking rules, it needs to be reported immediately in order to be dealt with in a timely fashion. A month later, two months later, however long you wait, will be less effective. This does include the admins, just because we wrote the rules, doesn’t mean we always remember what we wrote, lol.

If you have a problem with any member of the site (admins included) please report it in a timely fashion because bringing up something today that happened three months ago is kind of moot at this point and we’ve already forgotten whatever that was that happened three months ago. Don’t hold onto grudges and use it as ammunition later when enough stuff has built up and you finally snap because again, we probably don’t know references you are talking about unless you have solid examples. It’s just better to deal with it immediately.

Most importantly, if there is a problem, please bring it up yourself. Second hand information from a third party source is not acceptable, nor is it reliable. We want to hear it directly from the person who is experiencing the issues.

Running a site is a difficult job, and it’s often a thankless, time consuming, voluntary job. It’s exhausting, and sometimes that exhaustion doesn't put people at their best.

Everyone has to be held accountable and it starts with coming forward. If you have a problem with someone? Tell them. If you feel uncomfortable and want a mediator, ask! Don’t be shy. If talking to the person doesn’t help, save the conversation and send it to an admin. We’ll work together to resolve things as best we can. But don't wait! The best communication is through Private Messaging on the site because you can easily add a mediator to your conversation, it doesn't get lost and can be easily copied if you need to forward it to someone. We cannot continue to provide a safe, fun place for RP if people aren’t willing to speak up. You don’t know what you don’t know so if no one speaks up no one will know.


Thanks,
A very tired Admin Team

Welcome to Inside New Hogwarts!

So, you’re here because you’ve obviously been searching for an active Harry Potter RP site to join and have stumbled upon our ad somewhere in your travels. Now, what?

Surely you have clicked the links along the sidebar and know that INH is an alternative HP site that takes place 20 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Great! Now, just to be sure, you’ve probably already checked out the recently updated threads/posts to ensure we are an active site! And you’ve probably found the discord link to join and acquaint yourself with the members. If not, check them out now!

Recently Updated Threads
Discord

Now that you have completed those steps, although not necessary, you’re curious about the site and the really awesome people you’ve just met or the cool characters you have stalked in the Recently Updated Threads. What now?

Well, we have a timeline! It’s handy to know what’s happened on site and what’s currently happening so here are a few links to check out!

INH Timeline
INH Recent Announcements
Daily Prophet

You have perused the important articles on site and are interested in making your first character! Great! We can’t wait! As you’ve discovered, we are all extremely excitable when meeting new friends! Here’s a few important starters for making your first character on site!

Before proceeding, ask yourself, would you like an RP Buddy? What is an RP Buddy? Glad you asked! They are a person on site who can help guide you along and be the first one your thread with to get yourself situated. Check out the RP Buddies info HERE and sign up if you want.

We have a limit on the number of students who attend Hogwarts based on year, house and gender. Please reference the dorm list which can be found HERE if you are considering making a student character. Keep in mind, just because there are currently no available slots in the year or house you desire, we also allow foreign students and there are currently no limits.

Students characters are required to make a minimum of 3 class posts per term in order to pass the school year. This will get your student an Acceptable grade. Anything higher requires more class posts. See the Rule Handbook for more information.

If you wish to make an adult character, be forewarned, the application will be longer than if you made a student. There is no limit on the number of adult characters you can make. Please check out the job office HERE to ensure there is availability in the job you wish for your adult character.

Want a creature? Not a problem. We do offer a variety of creatures on site such as Veelas, Metas, Werewolves and Vampires, however, there is a 50 post count minimum for these creatures to ensure members will be staying with us before creating a creature only to vanish. For more information on our creature rules, check out THIS THREAD.

You’re coming along nicely! You’ve decided on a character to make. Check out our PB Claims to ensure the face you want is available. Sharing of faces is permitted as long as the person currently using that face is agreeable. Please reach out and ask them before claiming the face. Staff will confirm.

Everything is settled. All you have to do now is create your character! Well, head on over to the Applications board and fill out your application located HERE. Post your application in a new thread with your characters first and last name. You can post a WIP and have 3 weeks to complete it otherwise it will be locked and archived.

Again, welcome to Inside New Hogwarts! Hopefully, you have found this helpful! If not, and you still have questions, please reach out to any one of the admins via PM, post in the Ask the Admins thread located HERE or pop into the Questions channel on the discord where any one of our members are more than happy to help out!

Students in their 7th year may opt to take a full credit internship where they go into the field they wish to work in and learn on the job. This will lessen the amount of training they will require after they graduate. EX: Auror training is 3 years, however, if you take an Internship at the Auror office you may have a shortened training period of 2 years instead of 3. You will be working with those workers in the area, please show us a thread of you doing your internship.

Criteria for Internship:
- You must have an active thread working alongside your Intern Instructor in order for the internship to count towards credit.
- If accepted into an Internship, you do not have to participate in classes as your character would be at "work."
- Failure to complete an Internship thread will result in failing the year.
- You must complete an actual thread (have the phrase End of Thread or various other renditions in the final post) to pass.
- In order to be accepted there must be a character working in the field you have chosen that agrees to be your instructor.
- You are permitted to reach out on your own to find an Intern Instructor. Should you find your own, please state so in your sign up.

Clean Outs have been completed.

As you all know (or should know if you read the rules), we do clean outs every 3 months in Mar-June-Sept-Dec at the end of the month. The date varies depending on when everyone is available.

It is NOT the responsibilities of the admins to remind you that clean outs are coming and to tell you to post. RPing is supposed to be fun and you should be posting regularly, not scrambling to post just because we've warned you.

The requirement is 3 posts in 3 months (equivalent of 1 post a month). If you haven't posted 3 times in April, May or June, your character(s) has been unsorted.

The exception to this rule are characters made within 3 weeks of the clean out day which would have been June 5th since we did clean outs today.

All unsorted characters are welcome back. You may re-apply by copying your previous app and re-posting it with the newest version of the application code and following the general character creation rules.

Anyone with a creature status is required to mention their status once in the 3 months. If you did not, you were removed from the list and title was deleted. You are welcome to re-apply and will be accepted according. Remember, if you lose your status three times, you can no longer apply.

This is all in the rules and should not be a surprise to anyone.
