This is an issue that has come up before, but occasionally needs revisiting.
Before you RP murdering another player's character, even with their permission, you must have permission for the action from a GM beforehand. Not so that we can dictate your every IC move, but because the consequences of such actions are far-reaching. When we log in as GM's and get a tell saying "Hey, I just killed so-and-so, can you come in as a teacher and freak out over it?" and such, it puts us in a difficult position.
The last thing we want to do is squash creativity, or undo good RP that's already been done. But we can't just have students killing each other off on a regular basis either. Needless to say, the offender would get more than a talking-to by Dumbledore.
Realistically, unless under very unique circumstances, it just doesn't work for long-term roleplay.
The same goes for suicides, especially public ones. Talk about putting a damper on the end of the year feast!
We want you all to be creative, and to have fun. That's what we're here for. With a little more communication, I'm sure a solution can be found in these situations that will appeal to everyone and not interrupt the flow of everyday IC life.
Thank you for your efforts and the great RP you do!
timing or what?. Anyway just because its not DM approved does that mean it didnt happen? (just curious dont mean to say everyhting DM led)
