  1. Join [info]platform_934

  2. Fill out the application provided there and post it, making sure that you...
    1. put it behind an LJ-cut. If you don't know how, go here and learn.
    2. bold the questions. It will make your application much easier to read and therefore earn you a much better response.
    3. are very specific. The longer, the better! The more we know about you, the more accurate our sorting will be. Short answers will earn you 'No Votes'. Also, do not neglect spelling and grammar. LJ has a spell check -- use it!
    4. do not tweak your answers to get into a certain House. We'll know it, and we won't hesitate to use the 'Muggle' vote.
    5. do not bash any House in the 'Which House do you feel you don't belong...' question. If you answer it, be sure to give justifiable reasons why you feel you don't belong. Do not stereotype the other Houses negatively.
    6. do not post the application to any other community -- platform_934 only!

  3. Wait for the other members to vote on your application, and then receive an official stamp from our Voting Manager. You may not join other communities or participate until this is done.

  4. Once you've been stamped, you're in! You can then join all of the other communities, vote on new members' applications, and participate in activities. If you've got any questions, please ask your prefects.

  5. Keep in mind that if the queue is backed up, your application won't show up right away. Please be patient -- it will be posted soon enough!

  6. If you are Muggled, you may apply again.

  7. If you receive a majority of No Votes, you may edit your application, or apply with a new one.



  1. Do not bash other Houses. Anywhere. Doing so will lose your House points. Also, do not post about how your house is misrepresented or stereotyped wrongly. We've seen it all before -- stick that sort of thing in your common rooms.

  2. Do not use derogatory terms or incessant obscenities. We realize that how offensive something is depends upon who is being insulted, but a lot of things are obvious and we expect you to be smart enough to know the difference. If a Mod or Prefect sees something of this nature, we will warn you (or take points, depending on the severity and if you've been warned previously); if you see something offensive that an official does not see, please email us.

  3. Use appropriate spelling and grammar in your posts -- anything with excessive net speak or all around raping of the English language will be deleted, and the poster will be warned.

  4. The start of any in-community drama or flame wars will result in major point loss. If a controversial topic is posted, you are free to speak your opinion -- you must, however, respect everyone else's right to do the same.

  5. Do not post general questions about the community or activities. Please email the appropriate official or the Mods. Any general questions or complaints about the community that are posted will be deleted and points will be taken -- no warning.

  6. The use of sockpuppet LiveJournals is strictly prohibited. Any suspicion of this act will result in immediate banning. Suspicion includes but is not limited to... Journal recently created, little or no friends, little or no posts, little or no comments. Also, we keep track of IP Addresses. You are forewarned.

  7. If you feel harassed by another member either in instant messages, email, or LJ comments, please inform them that you wish for them to stop or you will report them. If they continue, please contact us with all of the evidence so that we may deduct points accordingly. Please not that this is only for situations that are related to HiH and its sub-communities.


The first time you break any of our rules (unless it is outlandish by all standards), you will be warned. Thereafter, it will result in a point loss for your House -- or worse, banning. If you have issues with a warning or point deduction, please email us; posting complaints about the issue will most likely move the point loss or warning to a permanent banning.

Rating
The community is rated according to the BBFC's 15 rating. To read more about the rating, please go here.
We do not require much of our members when it comes to participation, but we do have a few guidelines.

We note who participates each month -- if you have not participated in at least one activity for four consecutive months, you name will be taken of the student list. If you wish to rejoin, you may do so in your previously sorted House. If you know that you will be unavailable to participate for less than four months, do not post about it in the community. Simply put one of the following banners in your user info:




This way, we'll know you're unavailable!

If you'd like to leave/re-join HiH, please use your house-specific post!

Gryffindor | Hufflepuff | Ravenclaw | Slytherin

Reminder: leaving posts in the main comm will result in 10 points gone and a ban from returning for 6 months.
