Bondage Forums

This forum is here to discuss aspects of BDSM Relationships and Lifestyle. Feel free to ask a question, talk about your own BDSM Relationship or comment on others' experiences. If you would only like to read what others have posted, and not post yourself, that is ok too. But we do like to see new faces around, so don't be shy!

Posts regarding BDSM relationships belong in this forum. Anything that is not related to those relationships (or that is a better 'fit' in another forum) will be moved.

This forum is moderated by: dancerkt, Heaven, NinjaProphet and sela. Please contact any of them or a senior moderator if you need help.

Please read and follow these guidelines before posting:

* No flames

* No personals (Personal ads are to be posted only in the Regional Forums)

* Take personal disputes to email

* No discussion of moderation decisions in the Forum

* No flooding
(see definition below)

Flooding:

A flood is defined as "The posting of multiple messages in close succession so as to monopolize forum pages, drown out other people, and/or disrupt the forums." Moderators reserve the right to merge or delete topics in the event flooding has occurred.

Copyrights:

Posting entire articles without reference or commentary can be seen as violation of copyright. Posting articles in the forum is allowable when providing a link, a portion of the text body and your own commentary. If you are quoting from a book, please cite the title, author, date of publication, and page range. In quoting song lyrics, the song title and a link to the lyrics may be posted, with a representative portion of the lyrics. As always, the author should be attributed.

Taboo Topics:

* No discussion what so ever - either in the specific or the
abstract of any person under the age of 18. This includes topics
about parenting, one's own childhood, jokes about kids, etc. --
even when not sexual in nature! The words themselves are not
prohibited (child, kid, etc) but any thread whose topic is
children or parenting in any fashion will be taken off the fora.

* Any mention of any person under the age of 18 in relation to
anything having to do with sex or BDSM -- even one's own
underage exploits, fantasies, or desires

* Anything about bestiality -- fantasy or practice

Please note: It is the intent of the subject matter that is prohibited, not just the specific words mentioned above.

Soliciting Illegal Acts - No solicitation of illegal acts such as drugs, prostitution, etc.

Quoting:

After much discussion between moderators and administration, we've decided that there is to be no alteration of words when quoting another member's post. Deletion of portions of a quoted post in order to emphasize a portion of the post is allowed (and even encouraged!) as long as the meaning is consistent with that of the original post. For example, if I say that "Bush is not a jerk" then someone quotes me as saying "Bush is a jerk", that would be against the forum rules. (But I only deleted one word!?!)

Moderators have the ability to place individual users on "time out". If you choose to violate the AUP
or these Rules, expect to lose your ability to post for a variable amount of time (minutes-days) based on violations. Please note that quoting the AUP violations or Forum rules violations of others may be construed as an offense worthy of a time out on your part. If it is offensive once, it is offensive twice.

Moderators reserve the right to determine whether or not posted content is most appropriate for this Forum, or more properly belongs elsewhere, and may move a thread to another Forum at their discretion.

Should anyone have any issues, please contact a moderator. Mods are listed on the extreme right column of the Forum Home page.

Thank you for your attention. Enjoy this Forum.

Recent change in forum policy.

"Locked at the request of the OP" will not be allowed anymore. If you post a topic that doesn't go the way you like, you have to live with it.

There will be one exception, hijacked threads if there's to much to clean.
