HELLO ALL NEWCOMERS 
Welcome to HPC. Now ~ Don't laugh ...but I have only just learnt the meaning of the word SPAM (Lots of repetitive posts about random unrelated stuff)
Spamming the Boards has caused some people a headache around here. But at the same time, it did highlight some points to which most of the long term users of the site have agreed upon (Community Regulation stuff)
Harrypotterchat.org is many things including:
Fun and Delicious
A Family [PG] site
A NO Swearing zone
A site that desires no advertising / lurid pictures or suggestive written innuendo
A site where spamming is not encouraged.
Please Note:
If any of the above occurs the following will happen:
- You'll be contacted either by OWL / A comment on your Profile Page or in the Thread concerned
You'll be given the chance to Edit /Remove the material
If you don't, a caretaker will delete your post/s and you'll loose posting points.
I think this is fairly standard protocol and I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. But I think it's fairer that you know how things are expected to work around here ...rather than...have no idea and be confronted with an issue.
PLEASE ~ Don't be put off by the above
All ARE WELCOME!
