The Teacher's and AT's are so particular about how their homework assignments are graded so why don't we do this instead because there are many of us who wont even grade homework anymore because we end up losing more even if we are just slightly off...

I petition that the way grading is completed to be changed and I am sure many of us would like to see it changed.

Teachers and/or the AT's who work on that subject will be the ones who give the final grade according to the way the think the lessons should be done. Students can still grade homework to get house points and galleons but the way they grade would determine how many points and galleons they would get.

Example #1:
>>>>>>>>>>Teacher/AT gives the final grade of Outstanding on an assignment, the student gets 10HP and 10G on the assignment.
>>>>>>Student A gave the peer review grade as an Outstanding, they get 5HP and 5G.
>>>>>>Student B gave the peer review grade of an Exceeds Expectations, they get 4HP and 4G.
>>>>>>Student C gave the peer review grade of an Good, they get 3HP and 3G.
>>>>>>Student D gave the peer review grade of an Acceptable, they get 2HP and 2G.

Example #2:

>>>>>>>>>>Teacher/AT gives the final grade of Exceeds Expectations on an assignment, the student gets 8HP and 8G on the assignment.

>>>>>>Student A gave the peer review grade as an Outstanding, they get 4HP and 4G

>>>>>>Student B gave the peer review grade of  Poor, they get 2HP and 2G.

>>>>>>Student C gave the peer review grade of  Dreadful, they get 1HP and 1G.

>>>>>>Student D gave the peer review grade of  Troll, they get 0HP and 0G.

What this means is depending on how the student and the teacher/at graded would determine if the student gets...

>>>5HP and 5G
>>>4HP and 4G
>>>3HP and 3G
>>>2HP and 2G
>>>1HP and 1G
>>>0HP and 0G

It would be run on a scale on how close the students peer review grade would be to the teacher/at's final grade. And the only time a peer review grade of Troll would get anything above a 0HP and 0G would be when the teacher grades a Dreadful or Troll as the Troll is a grade that shouldn't be given lightly.

Example of Scale:

-5 = 0

-4 = 1

-3 = 2

-2 = 3

-1 = 4

 0 = 5 (Same grade as the Teacher or AT's final grade)

-1 = 4

-2 = 3

-3 = 2

-4 = 1

-5 = 0

> Submitted Homework should have a 24 hour grade period were student can edit the assignment before it sent for grading.

> Peers should not have the final say in the grading but should be able to critique/give advice on how to better future assignments.

(side note: students who review should still get house points based on the fairness of their review.)

> Teachers and AT should get the final say on the grade to prevent unfair grading
(side note: if this was implemented Teachers should be allowed to have 3-4 ATs.)

Hello. I write my name wrong but when I go to change my name I have to pay 19'99 euros. That's horrible and expensive. This have to be free. I wont pay for that. I made a mistake with my name, but I wont pay real money. Injustice.

I first like to say that i understand that everyone would be playing a Hermoine or Harry if they were allowed to use whatever difficult spells beyond their own years. 

The idea is to grant students the privilege to select 1 difficult spell that is ONE year above their own. from the ''magical abilities'' list that their character is able to use In Game.  

My Idea is listed below

- Students of their own respective year select 1 spell that is listed 1 year above their own

- Students submit their choice to officials

- The selected spell is officially recorded and added to that person their profile (like a status)

- Students using other spells than the one they have chosen will be punished accordingly

- Spell selection will be in the 1st week of each new Hogwarts year

- Submissions done after week 1 will be dismissed 

Implementing this system would mean quite a bit of work for the site officials who monitor this. Which is why i have added the last 2 points. 

This privilege will only be granted to the students who have submitted their chosen spell during the 1st week of each hogwarts year. Those that haven't have simply missed the boat and will have to wait until next In-Game year. 

Granting this right for students to use 1 spell above their year in IG-topics is as said before, a privilege.. that should be punished heavily when abused

Should a prefect notice a student using any spell other than the one they have submitted. They will be considered to willingly and in full awareness of their actions  ignore the rules.

Abusing this privilege

Example: 

- 1st year student has submitted and recieved the privilege to use ''protego'' in topics. 

- the student uses ''expelliarmus'' instead of his/her selected ''protego''

- Student loses the privilege to use ''protego'' for the remainder of the year

- Student is unable to submit a new spell for 2 reasons

          reason 1: Students can only submit the spell of their choosing in week 1 of each year

          reason 2: Student has willingly and in full awareness broken the rules

- The student their submission in week 1, 2nd year will be dismissed

- The student their submission in week 1, 3rd year will be granted once again. 

It might seem pretty strict and heavy, but since i would consider this a HUGE privilege, one should cherish it with great respect or suffer the consequences.

I find there are a lot of seemingly innocent topics started by people looking to have some fun, only to be shortly abandoned after a prefect jumps in to tell them "you can't do that", about something innocuous. Obviously you want the RPG forum to be as realistic as possible. However I feel that perhaps some people get put off by all the hefty restrictions. For example, getting told "You can't do that spell because it's a higher year..." And yet, Hermione produced a polyjuice potion in her 2nd year, and Harry conjured a Patronus in his third. There are ways around it, that's all I'm saying.

Perhaps it might be an idea to slightly relax on the restrictions a bit? This way people won't feel like their creativity is getting squashed, and are able to experiment more. There are some really good ideas out there that can't be properly executed because the minute they try they get told they can't do it.

Who can honestly earn close to 2,000 Galleons for a broom?? There should be more ways to earn Galleons.

i am a banned user and i think JUST bc i'm 9 means i get BANNED, i'm used to cuss words, blood, gore ect, so please put this in here!!!! give us another chanse!!!

I think it would be great to have a contact button on the frontpage or under others, where you can fill a formular to tell your problem. I often have trouble finding out who I should talk to and it would be easier on the staffs owls if it was in a formular where technical staff, MoM, Headmaster, leaders and maybe heads of the houses could go in and see whats wrong and take the tasks they can when they have time. That way everyone doesn't contact one, but contact a team, so it is easier to handle. And the staff wouldn't have to say "you have to contact Valentine" because he would then also see the trouble, if only he can handle it.
