EARNING HOUSE POINTS!
So, I bet everyone is wondering how they can earn house points on the site since it's a useful thing to know. Luckily, the staff have come up with quite a few ways to do this!
HOGWARTS CLASSES
- This is obviously the main way to earn points. When we start getting professors and class threads are posted, every post (if deemed worthy by said professor/admins) in the thread will be worth 5 points to your character's house.
QUIDDITCH MATCHES
- Not all of our characters will be on their house Quidditch team but for those who are, this is a great way to earn house points. Once we get these up and running, the matches will be worth a decent amount of points. The winning teams will get 40 points towards their house, and whichever team catches the Snitch will be awarded 10 points. That's a possible 50 points to one house!
ADVERTISING && AFFILIATING
- Our site is doing fairly well activity wise, but we always have room to grow! The staff will be holding occasional advertising contests where house points will be awarded based on how many ads you put out there for us. Of course, you don't have to wait for an ad contest to be able to help us spread the word about the site, so don't hesitate to post some ads around the internet to help us out. You can find our advertisement (coded for both Proboards and Invision-Free) here. Every ad you put out there is worth 5 points, every affiliation you make is worth 10 points, and every person you recruit to the site is worth 15 points. It also counts as recruiting when you get friends to join the site, so make sure that they tell us you lead them here!
FINISHING AN APPLICATION
- We all know how much work an application can be, and how good it feels when you've completed it and get accepted. So, for every application that is finished and accepted, the staff will award 5 points to the house that the character belongs too. For adults, and professors, the points will be awarded to the house your character used to belong in while at Hogwarts. For ghosts, the points will be awarded to the house you belong too.
SUGGESTIONS
- The staff are extremely friendly, approachable people who want this site to be a fun, friendly place where everyone is happy. So, if you think that we need to add something to the site, don't hesitate to let us know! Suggestions are worth 10 points.
REPORTING
- The staff have lives too and don't see everything that goes on on the site all the time, so if anyone see's anyone breaking the rules, disrespecting others, bad-mouthing the site or stealing anything from the site (like graphics, posts, applications), then please PM a staff member and let us know. You will be awarded 15 points for this, so don't be afraid; we won't tell anyone that it was you.
FORUM GAMES
- The staff has made a separate board in the forum games board where any games that are worth house points can be found. Each post in these games will earn you points, but the number depends on the game so please pay attention to that. Unsorted/unaccepted members may still post in these games, just be sure to keep track of your earned points so they can be awarded when your character is accepted.
As you can see, there are various ways for you to earn house points, so please keep track of them since the admins are busy and can't keep track of how many every single character has earned. In order to make it easier for everyone, please fill out the form below and reply to this thread. Once an admin has counted your post and added your points, your post will be deleted and you can just reply again whenever you earn points. It's really fairly simple, but please keep in mind that some ways of earning points will not be available yet. More options may be added as we grow, so check back here often!
Happy earning!
