So, if you're in this thread you're either already a Huff and just topping up on your Hufflepuff pride or you're a new member who wants to become a Huff.
Basically, there are several criteria that your heads of house have to weigh up before determining your acceptance into the house:
1) Spamability- how likely you are to spam by making senseless/thoughtless posts, thereby causing us to lose points in the house comp. We're basically making sure you're a good citizen: this means that you can't spam or abuse other members while you're here, and you must also post and weigh in regularly.
If you're a reincarnate or ex-member it may be more difficult to get through the application process on this ground. For spam rules check out the newbies common or daily P.
2) Staying power- How likely you are to remain a member of the house/board... this is usually the main reason we take a while with processing applications- we have to watch the prospective members and see if they're in for the long haul.
We have to know that you're not going to just abscond on us once you're a house member. This requires us to watch that each applicant comes online and posts regularly, which obviously takes some time. Usually there will be a 100 post minimum requirement before an applicant is accepted.
3) General Hufflebility- Can't really explain this one, but you've got to have the Huff vibe. It's more about the reasons you choose to become a Huff. Basically, you can't just become a Huff for the sake of being a house member, as opposed to being a Huff for the sake of being a Huff.
As Rooey and I go and observe the applicants in action, we get an impression of the type of person that they are, and the reasons for which they're applying for Hufflepuff. Sometimes we get good vibes, which helps our deciding that the person should be accepted, and sometimes not.
4) Optional extra- you have to have a great butt! Or, a butt at least.
The application process usually takes between 2 weeks to a month, because of (2). We will PM you when we have made a decision.
If you have been accepted we will add your name to our fabbo birthday list which is in the thread immediately after this one! ;D You will also get access to more areas of the board, such as trivia, interhouse competitions and activities such as wizards chess, story competitions and quidditch.
Post below giving a brief introduction of yourself and why you want to be a Huff...
