welcome to atlantis. the admins here would expect you to follow some simple rules so that the site will run smoothly and effectively. we thank you in advance.
there is a warning system here on the forum. here is how the system will work:
an 'offense' would be by breaking any of the major rules on this site.
#1: the age minimum of this site is 13+ for two reasons -- one) proboards age minimum is 13, so we wouldn't want to break that rule. and two) some of the content on this site may be PG-13 and we do not want people on here that are eleven. and if you are found out that you are under 13, you will be banned, no questions asked.
#2: swearing is permitted, but please do not make it every other word. don't make it something you wouldn't say to your mom if she let you swear. thanks.
#3: there will be a 15 word minimum on all posts. we do not need spam (Silly Pointless Annoying Messages) cluttering up the board. thankyou.
#4: there will be absolutely NO[/u] discrimination, racism, bullying or anything of that sort permitted on this site. any of this will result in an immediate ban from the site, no questions asked. if you are being exposed to this, please contact a staff member and it will be dealt with asap.
#5: please make your posts long, with good grammar, spelling, sentence structure and the like. please use the spell check button at the bottom of your posts, it does wonders. either that, or write your posts on microsoft word beforehand. if this is too hard, don't bother signing up.
#5: this role playing site is in third person. no i, me, you, etc. if you don't know what third person is, look it up on google.
#6: all members that have signed up are required to have a small 100x100 pixel avatar. either that or a signature. it's just easier for the person you're role playing with to picture your character. please remember to claim your character face in the face claim.
#7: this site is rated PG-13, so please keep it that way. if you are in a fight with another character, please do not go into detail with the gory blood, etc. please focus more on the emotions if possible. and also with sex scenes. they are permitted, but please put a warning in the title so people don't read it if they don't want to. (EX - alone time {darren (WARNING!) )
#8: if you need to in the middle of a thread, say something out of character please put it in double brackets (( )) {{ }} << >> [[ ]] or label it OOC so that the person you are rping with doesn't get confused.
9: there will be no such thing as a 'mary sue' or a 'gary stu'. they are wastes of space. if you don't know what that is, google works wonders.
#10: characters can not be perfect with regal superpowers or mega rich. they can be dukes or duchesses, but please do not make them completely mary sue-ish (see #9) because really, who is like that?
#11: there are no last names on this site, but just a first name and their title (son of ______, duke of the _______, student...etc) please do not make the name more than 15 characters because then your name that's Amylaseden, son of Darren will come out like Amylaseden, so... on your mini profile. it's really no point, and it's annoying.
#12: you must have a 100x100 pixel avatar in your avatar space. it's just easier for the person you're roleplaying with to picture your character. i know it might be hard to find a picture of a mermaid, but if you google search or photobucket search 'mermaid,' you'd be surprised how much you will find.
#13: your signature (image) can be no more than 500x200 pixels, and the text of it can't be more than 100x200 pixels. so overall, the signature space can be no more than 500x300 pixels.
#14: this is an intermediate roleplaying site, which means that if it's your first time roleplaying, please do not sign up. we expect a fifteen words (one and a half paragraphs) per post.
#15: advertising is amazing and the admins will love you for it. if you bump the advertisement, you will receive five karma. please bump!
#16: rules are subject to change at any and all times. please check back frequently. the last time these rules were updated was: tuesday, 22 july 2008, 8:32 pm.
please check back frequently.
