Hello Snitchseeker Family,

With the start of the new term fast approaching, there's a matter the Hogwarts RPG Staff would like to bring to your attention. As always, we strive to be as transparent as we can with matters regarding the school (and the wider Snitchseeker RPG).

We have had an announcement like this before, regarding the position of Quidditch Captains. It was not an easy decision to make and involved both a discussion with a few other admins and the staff itself. We have come to the consensus that, at this time, the position of prefect will be benched. Much like the Quidditch Captain role, this will not be gone forever. It is simply being put on the backburner until such a time that it makes sense to bring it back.

To be clear, this is not fall out from any sort of wrong doing and should not be looked at as anyone's fault. Site is ever changing and we must adapt to the changes as best we can.

The role of prefect has taken a far fall from where it used to be. It has, in essence, become a shiny badge to stick on a profile and that is not enough, in our opinion, to justify giving out what should be such an esteemed position.

In the wake of this decision, we'll be working on other, fun opportunities for our lovely students! These will allow for greater RP opportunities and greater involvement when possible. This will take place effective Term 57. There will be an IC announcement explaining how this will be played out for the coming term. Until then, your characters are not privy to this knowledge. We thank you for your understanding while we continue to do our best to make this a great RP experience for all.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you can post them here to be answered or you can send me a PM directly.

Happy RPing!

Hogwarts RPG Admin,
~ Dani
