#383841 Anti-Bullying Psa (Ooc Concerns)

Posted by Prof. Sorcha Logan on 19 September 2012 - 09:25 PM

Posted Image

It has come to the attention of the Governors of Hogwarts Online that personal bullying is occurring in high volume in the associated social venues of the site (i.e. the chatroom, facebook, and YIM). While HO's harassment policies are limited to actions that occur on the hswcw website and direct contact between two or more members, it is still essential that all members of the forum act in a respectable manner and remember the Golden Rule. For those who do not know the Golden Rule it is as follows:


Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you.


(Basically, don't treat other people like crap because karma will hit you in the big one.)


Now, I'm not making this announcement because of karma. I am making the announcement because every so often, as new waves of members become active and things on the site grow and change, it has become a pattern that OOC bullying occurs more frequently during these times. I would like to iterate that you are not required to like anyone on this forum. However, you are encouraged to give respect to all members of the forum, no matter who they may be and no matter where you encounter them. If you are having a personal issue with a member that cannot be solved in a civil manner, seek help of a Hogwarts Online administrator if this problem is interfering with your ability to either A)remain active on HO or B)complete a job on HO. We advise that you do not advertise your woes and personal problems in a public venue, for this will only generate additional controversies, complaints, misunderstandings, and quarrels.


OOC Bullying and harassment is taken seriously at Hogwarts Online as we have a zero tolerance policy and if you feel you are truly being bullied, please feel comfortable in contacting any of the Governors. If you feel it is a Governor that is bullying you, and you are worried your opinion or situation will not be heard, I would like to personally advise you to still seek the aid of a Governor. We work as a team and are looking out for the best interests of everyone.

Thank you and best regards,

#1332869 Changing Of The Guard

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 14 March 2026 - 09:43 PM

Geetings and Salutations,

 

In all of the years that I have been Chairperson of the Governors Board, it has never been easy to say goodbye to  a Governor. However, the time has come once again for us to welcome a new era of leadership. And in that spirit I am most thankful to welcome Minister Xander Ryu and also Prof. Nessa McKay to the Governors Board.

 

Professor McKay will take over the role of Academics Governor and Head of Slytherin House, meanwhile Minister Ryu will take over the role of Roleplay Commission Governor.

 

We thank our former Governors for their tireless dedication to this site. And we honor their retirement with undying gratitude. We are also happy to invite this new generation of Governorship to these thankless members of our website.

 

I have nothing but the highest hopes for both of them. A new Deputy Headmistress or Deputy Headmaster will be named in the next few days. Please expect an announcement from  Headmistress Sorch Logan forthcoming

 

Yours eternally,

G

#1324782 Thanksgiving Reflections

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 27 November 2025 - 09:41 PM

Greetings & Salutations,

 

While I know that not all of us live in the United States, many of you likely know that today was a time of Thanksgiving for many of us in the U.S. and around the world. Conversely, throughout the world, there has been a time of great economic strife, and I know that many of our members have been impacted by this. In fact, I myself have been impacted by this period. This isn't something that most people can admit freely or without shame; however, it is a topic I feel is important now more than ever to highlight.

 

For many of us, Hogwarts Online has been a magical place where class, race, and geographic location have never mattered. Hogwarts Online has been the great escape from life's troubles. Here you can soar to the greatest heights, master the mightiest of spells, befriend fearsome creatures, and achieve greatness with the stroke of a key.

 

That is the enduring power of this place we call home. As we look around us in the real world and see darkness and despair and sadness and death, we can look here, we can look at home and see that we are still surrounded by our closest friends living our greatest dreams.

 

For this my friends, I am truly thankful.And I hope you all will share that sentiment with me today and every day.

 

For as long as this sentiment remains true for some of us, Hogwarts Online will remain. Happy Thanksgiving, my beloved friends.

 

G

#1245810 New Minister For Magic

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 10 March 2024 - 04:05 PM

Greetings & Salutations,

 

As Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, it is both my sacred duty and my honor to ensure the continuity of government within the wizarding community. Following a contentious election in the United Kingdom, the ICW affirms and acclaims that Minister Xander Ryuu formerly the Head of the Department of Mysteries, has secured a majority of the vote and will succeed Minister Fallon Steelgrave as the leader of the Ministry of Magic.

 

On behalf of the wizarding community, we thank Minister Steelgrave for her tireless efforts to safeguard our world and uphold our laws by enforcing the Statute of Secrecy with zeal and vigor. In that same spirit, we wish Minister Ryuu the same successes as his term begins.

 

Yours Sincerely,

#1005888 Catfishing And Impersonation

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 19 May 2019 - 08:54 PM

Xy9bLoX.png

Greetings & Salutations,

 

After a lengthy discussion today amongst the Governors, we have come a to decision about a very unfortunate issue that has often been faced on our site. From this day forward, the following rules will apply to all of HO and its associated platforms:

  • Catfishing members of Hogwarts Online is an act that is contrary to our values as a community. Catfishing is the act of luring someone into an emotional connection by means of a fictional online persona. This includes lying about your appearance, status, orientation, gender identity, etc with the intent of misleading another person for the purpose of forming a relationship.
  • Impersonating someone's real life persona on Hogwarts Online is an act that is contrary to our values as a community. Impersonation by this definition means using the name, photos, or other identifying information of a real person to assume a false identity when communicating with members of our site.
  • It is also contrary to our values as a community to feign serious illness, critical injury or death of a real life persona, real or imagined.
  • Aiding in any of the aforementioned acts is contrary to the our values as a community.

We are, first and foremost, a community of friends. Friendship requires trust. Trust requires honesty. Hogwarts Online does not require any person to disclose their personal details and anyone who wishes to keep their identity safe is welcome to assume an OOC pen name. However, the acts describes above will no longer be tolerated on this site. Far too much hurt and betrayal has come from thoughtless violations of trust.

 

From this moment forward, any member found to be in violation of these values will be asked to leave our community. If you have any questions about this, please contact me directly.

 

The Governors

#661511 Celebrity Status

Posted by Prof. Sorcha Logan on 01 November 2014 - 11:16 AM

tYOJRL3.png

Site Celebrities & Pro-Athletes

 

This list indicates all characters on Hogwarts Online who will be internationally recognized as a famous character. Accordingly, all other characters are expected to regard them as famous characters.


Perks:

  • A signature image or award denoting that they are famous.
  • An incredibly high salary.
  • Right to be recognized by all characters as a celebrity with all the perks therein.

 

Types of Celebrity:

  • A List 

An A list celebrity is internationally known and exceptionally successful. Hearing the name of an A-list celebrity will likely be immediately recognizable. These celebrities have a large fan base and probably have merchandise reflecting their career/reason for fame. Spotting an A list celebrity in public would potentially draw a lot of attention. These celebrities may even travel with bodyguards. Articles about these celebrities will be headlines in the news.

 

Aina Keller - International - Supermodel, Fashion Icon, Actress, UN Goodwill Ambassador

Harry Potter - International hero

Izzy Beckett - International musician

Preston Thayer - Aristocrat, Heir to the Thayer fortune

Roisin Doyle - International - Beater for Ireland & best selling author

Viktor Krum - International - Retired Seeker for Bulgaria

  • B List 

A B list celebrity is well known, but less famous or successful as A list celebrities. They make decent money and their name is recognizable, though maybe not by all. They likely have a fan gathering and some merchandise reflecting their career/reason for fame, but not as much. Spotting a B list celebrity in public might draw attention and they may be asked for autographs, but likely do not travel with bodyguards. Articles about these celebrities may be featured in the news, but rarely make headlines unless it is something controversial.

 

Blaine Totterdale - International - Beater for England

Hunter Bennett - International - Keeper for Republic of Ireland

Karolina De Beers - International - Chaser for the English National Team

Loretta Jackson - International - Musician - formerly A list but dropped down to B list

Sherlock Thorns - International - Actor, Owner of Mystic Arts Company

  • C List 

A C list celebrity is known by face and not by name, or vice versa. They are still successful but are far less popular or famous as A and B list celebrities. While they may have fans, those are likely to be part of a niche group, like when a band has a cult following and is not widely known. They rarely make the news.

 

Sebastian Cabral - National - best-selling author

  • D List 

A D list celebrity may be known by face, and rarely by name. If they are known, they may not have the most positive or popular connotation to their name (think Rita Skeeter). They may also be people who experienced "15 minutes of fame" for something that went "viral" in the wizarding community. They probably aren't recognized in public by many people and live normal lives. They do not earn a sufficient income to be classified as rich, unless they are an heir to a fortune.

 

Draco Malfoy - Heir to the Malfoy fortune

 

 

Pending/under review

 

 

Is your character a songstress, entertainer, professional athlete, or any other well known figure in the wizarding world? If so; You may now apply for CELEBRITY STATUS on Hogwarts Online! Please consider the following.

 

Requirements:

  • Minimum of 500 posts
  • Minimum of 2-5 related RPs a month
  • Must be an official school alumnus (exceptions made for certain cases)
  • Must be a member of HO for at least 2 years
  • Must submit a proposal for fame
  • Must be approved through a majority vote by the Governors.
  • Must be willing to post intermittent blog posts updating the forum of any important news regarding your celebrity
    (depending on the status level)

Note: All pro-Quidditch players in the minor leagues (i.e. the Appleby Arrows) are only locally known and may have a fan gathering in their given country/district. In order to be a celebrity on this list, that athlete needs to have evidenced an advance in their career or have had a controversial publication to gain public attention.

 

 

 

If you meet the above requirements, we would love to read your application! You may apply by sending your proposal for fame to Minister Xander Ryuu. Your proposal will be reviewed by the Governors board and your request will be approved or denied considering the requirements.

#1333810 Hufflepuff Administration Changes

Posted by Prof. Sorcha Logan on 22 March 2026 - 12:32 PM

mkRklOR.png

 

I would like to thank Prof. Elizabeth Lapointebete for her dedication to Hufflepuff house over the past several years. She has been stable and supportive member of the house administrative team. However, as we are looking to build more activity on the site and within our school houses, this means some updates in leadership are necessary to support the growing demand for activity. Professor Lapointebete will remain a house affiliate and professor, as well as a valuable resource for our other staff.

 

That being said, Prof. Cassandra Smith has been promoted to head of house. After careful consideration, her new deputy head of house will be Prof. Ji Jeong Ryuu! We know she will fulfill the role of deputy head of house well.

 

Please join me in thanking Elizabeth and congratulating our new Hufflepuff administrative team!

#1005984 A Sensitive Subject

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 20 May 2019 - 10:25 AM

B1zlqd.png

Greetings & Salutations,

 

As many of you likely know, a few years ago there was an incident on the site that involved the fabricated death of a member. This was a very unfortunate situation, but the Governors decided to take no disciplinary action against the person responsible. The other day this member decided to return and has offered her heartfelt apology to the Governors and the site.

 

We do not expect everyone to accept this apology, but the Governors have accepted it and have invited her to return to our community with no repercussions. We want to stress that bullying of any kind will not be tolerated toward this person. Part of being a community is understanding each others shortcomings and not holding grudges for past mistakes. We are all going to move past this together and our site will be stronger for it.

 

She has also asked us to share the following apology with the members.

 

Hi.

First off I’d like to say that I’m extremely sorry for all the stress and pain I’ve caused the community. I can’t understate just how guilty I feel, and have felt for so long. All I’ve been thinking is about how much I wish that I could turn back time and change everything, but obviously that’s not possible—so I’m just hoping that my words will show that, at the least, I haven’t taken any of this lightly either. 

I’m so sorry for the deception, in the creation of multiple fake people and especially in the faking of breast cancer and of death. I should never have used either of those issues as a tool to gain popularity or love of any kind and I feel sick to my stomach thinking about my actions. I’ve spent a long time trying to figure out why I did that, and I’m still not totally sure. The best explanation I can offer is that at that time, I was very young and very insecure—and very uneducated too (which doesn’t justify any of it; I would like to make explicit that this explanation is only that—not in any way an attempt to excuse my actions). Some of my insecurities were of the typical pre-teen/teen girl variety. Some were magnified because I’m an Indian immigrant in the United States and at that time, during very formative years, I felt intensely like I did not belong anywhere. I was neither Indian or American, which brought me to search for any kind of community that would accept me—and then to cling to that community and use it to get the affection and love and attention that I, at the time, believed I wasn’t getting elsewhere. 

It was extremely immature and manipulative of me, and I regret that so much. I used others’ pictures because I didn’t feel beautiful or worthy (and my lack of self esteem was propagated by the colorism in American society, which made it really hard for me, as a darker-skinned person, to believe that I was beautiful or worthy in any way). During that time, I extended the fantasy of roleplay as a way for me to invent a better version of myself—the version that I always secretly wished I could be.

I never intended for it all to spiral so much and there were many moments where I wanted to say the truth so badly. But I was too terrified—which is also why I ran away the moment that everything came to light. I regret my cowardice and my long silence. This is also why I returned to the site and created new characters secretly, as another cowardly attempt to enter the community again. I said very few things about my personal identity as a writer, but a lie by omission is still a lie and for that I’m really sorry. I realize that those actions only further deepen distrust of me, which I understand completely.

All of this still does not justify or excuse my actions in the slightest. I don’t expect forgiveness or understanding of any kind, and if the community determines that I should be banned I will fully respect that. In your place I would absolutely do the same. I want to say that I really did consider everyone in this community to be my friends (although I understand if you don’t feel that way yourself anymore) and I’m so so sorry about hurting all of you.

Thank you for allowing me to explain, and again, I’m really sorry that this apology comes so long overdue.

 

 

Thank you all for reading.

Giselle

#999775 Conflict Resolution On Ho

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 15 April 2019 - 05:11 PM

B1zlqd.png

Greetings & Salutations,

 

The Governors and I would like to send out this quick PSA about conflict resolution on HO. Part of our job as your administrators is to help maintain a peaceful and safe environment for all members to have fun and express themselves. This includes the crucial role of conflict resolution.

 

All of our Governors have some degree of training in conflict resolution and dispute mediation. I am a trained communication professional with years of experience in the field, three of us are teachers, and the rest of us have extensive experience in the business world. In short, we all have years of experience working with others and maintaining safe, healthy environments for our colleagues. We want to do the same for you!

 

Most of our members are perfectly capable at resolving small disputes between friends, but sometimes it is better so seek the help of a third party to prevent a situation from devolving into something more serious. It is important to know your limits and to know that it is okay to ask us for help!

 

Yours,

The Governors

#1306414 Gryffindor Administration Changes

Posted by Prof. Sorcha Logan on 14 June 2025 - 06:16 PM

mkRklOR.png

 

I would like to thank Prof. Aqua Rye for her undeniable dedication to Gryffindor house these past 11 and a half years. She has been an integral member of the house administrative team. However, as she has taken on more responsibility in her role as a governor, she has made the decision to pass the torch so that she can focus more wholly on other projects for the site. While we ordinarily promote our deputies into head of house positions, Prof. Mitchell agreed to fill the head of house position with another candidate due to her own personal life responsibilities. 

 

As such, our new Gryffindor head of house is Prof. Mariya Van Veles! The writer behind Mariya has been a long-time member of Hogwarts Online. She has served in administrative roles in the past under different characters. We know she will fulfill the role of head of house well, though there is no replacing Aqua.

 

Please join me in thanking Aqua and welcoming Mariya!

#1301734 Ai & Point Competitions

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 30 April 2025 - 09:41 PM

Xy9bLoX.png

 

Greetings & Salutations,

 

For the second time in the last month, the Governors have discussed the increased prevalence of AI generated content at Hogwarts Online. It goes without saying that there are probably many differing opinions on this subject, but the Governors have always tried to take a "if it doesn't ruin the fun, don't interfere" approach to site rules. Unfortunately, it appears that now some members' fun is being ruined and we have had no choice but to take an official stance on this topic.

 

AI is a very useful tool that can be utilized to spark creativity, inspire great story ideas, and yes, fill in some gaps in posts that seem a little bare bones. Where AI starts to suck the air out of the room is when it allows members to game the system, accrue points at a rate they would otherwise not be capable of doing, and taking up an overwhelming majority of a member's posts.

 

So, going forward, the following will be added to the rulebook and we are introducing a new, but fitting punishment for violators of this rule. I advise anyone who utilizes AI to read carefully:

 

"AI may not constitute more than 50.01% of a members post when competing against other members during site activities. This includes Quidditch, RP Challenges, Library Games, OOC Games, Duels, Class Posts, and any other activity for which an award is given.

 

AI may still be used for normal posts throughout the site.

 

If, at any time, it is suspected by or reported to a Governor, Head of House, Professor, or other site moderator, the Governors reserve the right to run the reported/suspected post through AI Detection Software. If 50.01% of that post is found to be comprised of content generated by AI, the member is subject to suspension from participating in the activities described above for a period of time to be determined by the Governors but no less than 1 week.

 

Repeat offenders may be permanently suspended or, depending on the severity of the offense, suspended from the site altogether."

 

Please note, there is no "1st warning" -- this is your first and only warning. It doesn't make me happy to have to make this rule, but Hogwarts Online is meant to be a place where people can write, enjoy themselves, relax, and have fun. The moment it stops being fun, we will act to correct that.

 

This rule is effective immediately.

 

Sincerely,

The Governors

!!ATTENTION ALL HOGWARTS ONLINE MEMBERS!!

 

In recent months a problem of lack of gratitude and common courtesy has been accruing by those who are requesting art from our graphic artists. I ask that you please remember that this area is a privileged made available to you, by talented people who are willing to donate their time to provide something special for you. Graphics are NOT a quick and easy thing, much time and dedication goes into each and every piece that an artists makes. Every AA member does have a life in the 'Real World' and we all have our problems, good and bad, yet these beautiful people have made the decision to set aside some of their precious time for the entire site to have the opportunity to get something pretty for their characters. All that is asked is that you please show them the kindness, the gratitude and the common courtesy to AT LEAST post a simple thank you upon pick-up. It doesn't have to be anything in depth and it only takes up a few seconds of your time. Not doing so is rude and is offensive to the artist who worked hard to make something for you. It takes all the excitement and fun out of doing it, if we don't even get a reaction of our hard work. Think of how you want to be treated, no one wants deal with someone ungrateful. If this issue persists, I will be forced to take matters further. I will warn you that the last 'major time' this was a problem, the whole Artists Association was closed for a brief time. That was years ago, I'd like to think we've come farther than that. Please be considerate and thank your artist.

 

Sincerely,

Prof. Ryland Mrotek

#1070305 Ho Content Tos Reminder

Posted by Giselle DLisle on 06 August 2020 - 08:20 PM

Dear Members,

 

I wanted to take a moment to talk to everyone about legal TOS that everyone agrees to upon joining Hogwarts Online as there have been some misunderstandings recently about them. The administrative team has always admired and respected the intellectual creations of our members to the best of our abilities.

 

Legally, it is true, that all things posted on these forums are the legal property of the host (eg. me) and by extension, Hogwarts Online System and the Administrative Staff. This is not something that HO has ever enforced as, again, we respect the intellectual creations of our individual members. Members are free to delete their content or request it archived if they do not have deletion permissions and admins will always follow appropriate procedures in adhering to this policy.

 

However, I want to stress that the expectations of administrators, particularly of our Governors, are entirely different. When an administrator creates something in congress with the Governor team with the intention of it becoming a staple of the site, that content becomes the property of the site no ifs ands or buts and HOS will stand behind our legal right to that content if it is threatened. We will ALWAYS give appropriate credit to the original creators, but we will not drastically alter any site content because a former staff member becomes disgruntled. This has been a longstanding issue on HO that I intend to set straight once and for all.

 

Moving forward, I hope we all have an understanding of this and contention with the TOS need to be brought directly to my attention and not to the attention of any other Governors past or present. This is not a site issue but a legal issue that myself and my attorney will address.

 

Thank you,
