House info and voting proceedures (original) (raw)

Because this method of sorting may be new to some of you I thought I should give you a little info on each of the houses. I think we should go with the 'No Vote' and 'Abstain' options too. So this is how I think it should go.

Gryffindor - Gryffs are brave, michevious, courageous, proud, stubborn, friendly and brash. They tend to act first and think about consequences later, acting on instinct and passion. They can be blinded by emotion, fairness and justice. They tend to be fighters, especially for causes they truely believe in.

Hufflepuff - 'Puffs are the heart of the four houses. They are kind and caring, very loyal, patient, frank, humble, persistant, sensitive and hard working. They tend to have good intuition and know how to act in whatever situation is presented to them. They are very open about their emotions, don't like hurting others. They are not push-overs or doormats, just kind hearted.

Ravenclaw - 'Claws are thinkers. Often very intelligent, mature, logical, picky, witty and talented. They tend to be somewhat quiet and withdrawn, even without meaning to be so. Learning is often a main priority, 'Claws love to gain knowledge wherever they can. Usually they have a wide vocabulary and an alternitive sense of humor that isn't always understood by others.

Slytherin - Slyths tend to be cold, intellegent, self-centered, cunning, logical, sarcastic, ambitious, bold, blunt and competitive. They are very proud and often easily insulted. They are often power seeking and somewhat detached. A Slyth is not evil or bad, although they will often follow through with any threats they may make. Usually very unaccepting of failure.

Now our other two options are..

Abstain - If you feel the person hasn't given enough detail or hasn't understood the questions. If you decide to abstain on voting on someones application you need to tell them why, so that they know what to change in order to get your vote. If there are a majority of abstaining votes the person may re-apply in a week.

No Vote - If you totally feel like the person shouldn't be a member of our community, if they are very rude or insulting or seem to have no knowledge of Harry Potter. If a person gets a majority of no votes then they will be banned.

Please put your vote in the subject line of the comment and your name and house underneath your comment. Each vote will earn you two house points. Each person that joins by your referal will get you five house points. I'll be linking this post into the userinfo should you need to refer to it in the future. Michelle or I will also be updating the rest of the userinfo soon.
Try to do your best when choosing a house for someone, sometimes it may be hard, but that's the fun of it.
Applications will be stamped at the weekend (This good for you Michelle?). The person may then join their house/classes etc.

Any qualms or suggestions, then send the howlers my way. Thanx guys!
