Yahoo Group BDSMIreland Guidelines

This is a reminder for members of the bdsmireland group about the guidelines governing participation here.

This list was created to provide a forum for people with an interest in BDSM and who are based in Ireland to come together, to chat, to learn from each other, and to meet; however, those living beyond this island are also welcome.

Whether you have made your way here as a result of a personal recommendation by an existing list member or through a search of Yahoo! groups please take a moment to read the following guide to participation on this list.

New members posts are moderated until they have made at least 3 contributions. This is because we do not want the list overwhelmed with spam.

This list does not welcome personal ads. If you want people to know about your physical appearance and what you are seeking please feel free to complete a detailed profile in the appropriate section. Alternatively, subscribe to bdsmireland-personals. People will get to know you from your contributions to the list and possibly from meeting at one of our social gatherings. If they are interested they can and will check out your profile. If you post a message using the following or similar phrasing it will not be approved: "I am looking for a.. " or "I am seeking a..." etc. This is considered a personal ad.

This list is founded on the principles of Safe, Sane and Consensual. Safe words, safe calls, negotiation, communication, agreement, consent, and common sense. For more information on what this means please ask on the list.

No flaming please. Please treat other list members with respect and courtesy. How you behave to others on the list is a reflection of how you would behave with a Dom/me or sub. Good manners cost nothing. Please contact the moderators (bdsmireland-owner@yahoogroups.com) if you have an issue with another member that you cannot resolve privately.

Please do not send private emails to list members unless you have their permission/consent or they have indicated in their profile that unsolicited contact is acceptable. In the event of a problem/situation or query regarding the operation of the list please mail the moderators (bdsmireland-owner@yahoogroups.com).

Please complete the profile section on Yahoo! groups. Feel free to include as much detail as possible as you are comfortable sharing in a public space.

Please introduce yourself to the list; contribute once in a while. Make yourself comfortable here, get to know people, get a feel for the place. Post an introduction whenever you are ready (not a personal ad). Tell us about your experiences to date, how you got interested and got involved with BDSM, how you found this discussion group and why you joined.

There is no such thing as a stupid question. (Well almost <S>) This list is a resource and brings together people with many years experience with those who have none. Ask and someone will answer, or point you in the right direction (there are probably half a dozen other people wanting to know the answer too).

If you would like to attend a meeting/munch.... Contact the moderators (bdsmireland-owner@yahoogroups.com), stating that you would like to come to a meet/munch. Include a contact name and number and the event which you would like to attend.

If you have any questions, queries.... If you have any questions or queries that you would rather not post to the group - please contact the moderators privately (bdsmireland-owner@yahoogroups.com). This applies if you have a problem with a certain procedure or another member. If it is a general query about bdsm, this should be directed to the group. If you are ever in doubt about something, please query the moderators.
