Three Strikes Policy:Read this carefully!Students will receive 1 warning from their HPU Advisor every time they break one of the
HPU Rules. Warnings count as strikes regardless of the type of rule being broken. That means, if you receive a warning for using bad language in one post, then receive another warning for being unnecessarily rude or violent in another post, you are still considered to have
two strikes against you.
Once you have received 3 warning points, you are eligible for expulsion.
In certain cases, students will be placed in what is known as the Moderator Queue before any warning points are issued. Typically, this will happen in cases of spamming (extremely short and/or pointless posts), bad grammar, and Mary Sueing. The Mod Queue holds posts in limbo (meaning, they do not immediately show up on the boards) until a Moderator or Admin can view it. If approved, the post are sent to the boards, and will show up in the chronological order in which it was originally submitted. If it is not approved, it is deleted. You may or may not receive notification of its deletion.
Placing a person to the Mod Queue is ultimately for their own good. Instead of receiving warning points, the person is allowed the opportunity to improve their RPing. Advice on how one may go about improving their posts can be gained from one's HPU Advisor, by observing the posts of other members, and by familiarizing oneself with the
HPU Rules and
Role-playing Tips provided in the Administration Office.
If you have any questions regarding the Three Strikes Rule, please contact your HPU Advisor for clarification.
Thank you.

Please Note: The HPU Admin reserves the right to expel any student regardless of warnings if the situation calls for it.
