WHEN NO MEANS NO!

There are instances when a play in channel can get out of hand. If you find yourself on the receiving end of an unwelcome advance/play/scene please politely refuse it clearly in channel or send them a notice or pm. If the person does not stop, please put them on ignore by typing /ignore or contact an OP for assistance.

If you are in a play/scene with someone and they are uncomfortable and say no, please respect their boundaries and discontinue the scene. If you continue to force yourself or the situation onto them, please understand that residing OPs will have no choice but to implement disciplinary action by way of a kick and/or ban.

Remember consent is an ongoing thing and a "NO" supercedes any consent that may have been given prior to the "NO".

For this reason, we do not recommend you play/scene with persons that are AFK (away from keyboard) unless you know them very well and know that they do not mind you doing so.

This is a simple matter of mutual respect within the BDSM community, a core value real life or online.
