Madame Noire walks over to the board and sticks a bright orange paper onto it. It reads:

General classroom rules

Thou shalt arrive on time (being late costs you house points). Please note that in the RP, you "are there" all the time, even if you just posted "Bye professor, thanks for the lesson" or something in the end. You can technically never be late. "Being late" only counts when you post in RP mode saying something like: "*Anna rushes into the classroom* Sorry I'm late! *Takes a seat*".

Thou shalt not fool around in the lesson. Posting irrelevant things and generally making a clown of yourself to get attention is not allowed. This = house points dropping.

Thou shalt not *kill* yourself or others. This is really annoying. Also, don't make any gruesome accidents happen to you, this only comes out as attention-seeking. "*Voldemort bursts into the classroom, killing everyone but Rob who fights him valiantly until he, too, falls to his death from the window and upon falling he turns out to be Harry Potter drinking Polyjuice Potion and....*"

Thou needn't not do homework. This is advised, of course, as doing it earns you house points, even if you've only made a scrap effort of it. Not doing homework does not lose you house points, however, so fret not. All homework is to be PM'd to Keredwel by the due date.

Thou shalt not post Out-of-Character. This means posts such as "heya peeps, the weather here is rainy, i think i'll go take out my dog, gee i'm hungry, cool avatar you got there bobbetty123!" All Out-of-Character posts much be duly titled, so you must add "OOC" before your message, e.g. "OOC: Aww darn, I really have to go take out my dog now. Be back in a few".

Thou shalt not swear. I think this goes without saying. You're not allowed to swear on these boards anyways, so swearing will not only cost your house points but might land you with a warning as well. You are not allowed to censor your words with asterisks (*) either, or replace letters with other characters.

Thou shalt be an ambassador of the school. Act as though you were a sole representator on behalf of the school. Be at your best behaviour, and do not call others names or be unkind. If your RP character is a morose old hermit, then so be it, but don't make others feel bad by barking at them or anything.

Thou shalt respect the teacher's offline life. Yes, I am a real person with a real life (well, almost). I cannot be online 24/7 holding lessons, so please be patient. 57 pages of "Where's the professor???" are not nice. Take a deep breath, walk around the house, count your floor tiles. Perhaps I'll be here when you're done. Perhaps not. So what? Go count the neighbours' tiles.
