hih_appeals | Term XX & Term XXI Appeals Questionnaire & Questions Post

Welcome to the official appeals questionnaire entry!

Have you read the guidelines in our user information? Think you can handle that? If so, feel free to fill out this handy-dandy questionnaire:

Name: 
House: 
How long have you been a member of HiH?: 
Have you been active in your House and in HiH? Please provide two or more examples of your activity within the last 30 days: 
What is the point of this appeals community?: 
Briefly explain why you want to switch Houses: 
Cancelling an appeal is time consuming for the judges and therefore not welcome. Under what circumstances would you cancel your appeal? (Please think about subjects like "I could miss the friends I made," or "I would not like the house I am resorted in," THOROUGHLY.) 
Please understand that appealing is a long process that requires a lot of thought and insight, both in yourself and canon. While we cannot tell you what to write in your appeal, please note that what you say and how you say it will influence how judges view and vote for your case. That said, house/personal bashing absolutely WILL NOT be tolerated, and doing so in your appeal may run the risk of having your appeal denied with no second chances given. If you understand this and agree to answer the questions given to the best of your ability, please respond to this final statement with "I agree":

This is also the place to come to if you have any questions about the appeals process. Comments are screened.

Anything but your appeals questionnaire goes here, please. :)

(screened comment)

You can only submit a new sorting app at the platform if you have currently been away from HiH for at least two months. So if you left the community in early June or prior to that, without having been a member in the meantime, you can submit a new app.
Since you are listed as a member of your common room and the main comm, that doesn't seem to be the case, so that leaves the option of an appeal.

Knowing what other house you would be suited for is not necessarily a requirement, we can work around that. Though for obvious reasons it often makes the process a little more straightforward if you can give the judges some sort of idea.

Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

"Lack of cohesion" with your house as you put it, can be one reason for an appeal. You should keep in mind, however, that we base our decision on your canon traits first and foremost.

You would be expected to have been active recently before an appeal, yes. People and atmosphere in HiH can change drastically within a year, so you might feel more connected to your housemates now than a year ago, if you were to give it a sincere chance?
The appeals questionnaire asks about your activity in the last 30 days, so that's roughly the time frame I'd be looking at.

Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

Sorry for the late response, I don't think I ever got a notification for your comment.

This is certainly a situation where an appeal can be appropriate, if you feel like you'd want to go through with it. If you aren't unhappy in your current house, there is no need for it, but if you'd rather have it settled once and for all, it can be done.

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

It is perfectly ok to appeal after whatever time someone has spent in their house, be it a month or several terms.

In that section of the app you can elaborate on anything you want to. If that means practically re-writing your sorting app, you can do that. As a general guideline, I know the judges prefer "too much" over "not enough" when it comes to what you give them to work with. ;)

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with (in case this is still relevant D:).
