Updating Threads

• Classes
  
  For Classes, you need to go through the site and find all the classes (like Charms, Divination, Potions, etc.) and make a list of them including who teaches them, what the requirements are, and what the current class is (the current class is the unlocked one - all other classes should be locked). If you find information on the thread list that is inaccurate, please correct it to keep the thread up to date.
  
  For Example:
  Class: Advanced Defense Against The Dark Arts
  Current Class: Class 1
  Professor: Narcissa Malfoy
  Comments: This class is an advanced class elective for 5th - 7th year students. 4th year students may take it with special permission. 3rd year students and below may not take it.

  Thank you so much Professor James Sullivan!!!
  
  
• Classes, Groups, Powers, Etc.
  
  For Classes, Groups, Powers, Etc., you need to go through all the members and make a list of all the animagi forms, classes, groups, powers, positions, etc. on the site. If you find something on the thread list that isn't on your new list that you just made, remove it to keep the thread up to date.
  
  
• Family Trees
  
  For Family Trees, you need to go through all the members and find everyone with the last name of Black, Malfoy, Potter, etc. and then ask them if/how they're related to other people on the site and characters from the books. If you find someone on the thread list that isn't on your new list that you just made, remove their name to keep the thread up to date.
  
  For Example:
  The Black Family
  Arabella Black (Sarah's Twin Sister)
  Azlen Black (Sirius's Adopted Sister)
  Celestine Black (?)
  Geri Black (Regulus's Son)
  Laura Lyn Black (Sirius's Daughter)
  Mai-ha Black-Rose (Sirius's Daughter; Sarah's Half-Sister)
  Narcissa Black-Malfoy (Sirius's Cousin)

  For Hogwarts Alumni, you need to go through all the members and make a list of who is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th year student (no matter what house they're in). You also need to ask Hogwarts Professors what year they graduated from Hogwarts (if they're from a Hogwarts house). If you find someone on the thread list that isn't on your new list that you just made, remove their name to keep the thread list up to date.

• Hogwarts Staff
  
  For Hogwarts Staff, you can go to View Staff Members and then make a list of Gryffindor Professors, Hufflepuff Professors, Ravenclaw Professors, and Slytherin Professors. If there's a professor that's on the thread list that isn't on your new list that you just made, remove their name to keep the thread list up to date.
  
  For Example:
  Alcippe, Divination Professor (2005-2005)
  Denise Bash, Astronomy Professor (2005-?)
  Binns, History of Magic Professor (?-2005)
  Narcissa Black-Malfoy, Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor (2005-?)

• Hall of House Points
  
  For the Hall of House Points, you need to go to all of the Classes and add up all the points earned by the houses and students by finding the Point Tally threads. If a class doesn't have a Points Tally thread, then tell them they need to make one because it's a requirement. If their Point Tally thread isn't up to date, please tell them to update it. You also need to go through all the members and make a list of every student's post counts and give them 10 house points for every 100 posts they have.
  
  For example:
  Circle Lykos: 6,102 posts = 610 house points

• Master Character List

If you find someone on the thread list that isn't on the new list you just made, remove them to keep the thread list up to date.
