hh_clubs | FAQ's...Again... (Reply)

1. I just got sorted into (Insert House Here) and want to join the clubs. What do I do?

First, PLEASE add your new common room to your friends list. Right after you get the OK to join cunningfolk, gryff_lions, ravenclaw_house or the_puff_house you are now free to join any of the other communities run by hogwartsishome. Just join hh_clubs like you would any other community on Live Journal.

2. Ok, joined hh_clubs, now what?

Feel free to join any of the clubs we have running. You can find the list of all clubs on the user info page, as well as the link to apply to them.

3. I want to start a new club. What do I do?

You can't as of yet. There are plenty of clubs currently running. When applications for new clubs are being accepted, an official post will be made letting you know.

4. Ok, I've joined (Name of Club) but I can't find the post I'm looking for, what do I do?

All club posts and all posts made in this community have been catalogued in the Memories page. All entries are sorted by club title. For instance if you are looking to see who won the first Charms Club contest, simply go to the Memories Page, click on the link for The Charms Club and click on the appropriate link.

5. I'm the leader of (Name of Club) and I have an idea for a contest/activity/discussion/etc, what do I do?

Once you come up with an idea for any club activity, be it discussion, duel, contest or whatever, please contact funn_bunn_83. If she approves, you can then post your contest/activity whatever and go ahead. In the email please include any details you have including how points will be handed and the objective of the contest. If it's a duel, any questions that will be asked and their answers, the time it will take place and any other details involved. If you are having a discussion, send the question and any info on how points will be awarded.

6. Wait, how should I award points?

Use the system set up by hogwartsishome for contests. Award 50 points for first place, 40 points for second place, 30 points for third and 10 points to anyone who participated other than the three winners. If you are merely having a discussion or something of the like award a maximum of 5 points per entry. Try awarding on a scale. An intelligent, thought-provoking post will get 5 points, while a post that merely agrees with what someone else said would earn 1 or 2 points. Points should be somewhat lax, but don't go overboard with them.

7. How many contests/activities/whatever can I hold each month?

1 - 2 point awarding contests per month, anything else is up to you.

8. I have points all worked out, now what?

Once a month jupluna or hey_lena will make a post asking for your point totals. Just comment to that post with your name, the club that you are leader of, and your list of points.

9. Why are there no knuts being awarded? What can I use knuts for anyway?

There are no knuts being awarded because hh_clubs is supposed to mirror clubs in the real world. If these were clubs in actual life, then you would not be getting paid. If you need information on what knuts are for PLEASE read the FAQ's over on HiH's user info page.

10. GAH! I'm still confused, what do I do? What DO I do?

If you still find yourself confused then don't worry. You can ask any of the club leaders questions about their particular club. If your questions still haven't been answered then you are more hten welcome to make a comment to any post that jupluna or hey_lena make, or contact them. Contact information can be found on the main user info page at Hogwarts is Home, or through our own journals.
