CutieMouse said:I may be totally wrong, but I can't understand why you'd not be allowed to sit in a public resturaunt, eat dinner, drink iced tea, and chit chat with kink-minded people, just because you are over 18, but under 21.

I don't think there's contact information, because people just show up. It is a public place, with nothing (obviously) BDSM related occuring at the resturaunt/munch. Talk to the greeter as you make a name tag, mention your concern over the age thing- if they say you can't sit with the kinky folk until you are 21, either leave, or have dinner on the other side of the resturaunt, and attend the munch after you are 21.
curious_subbie said:Hi there, I have been lurking for a few days and I decided to post something and introduce myself.
My name is Dawn and I am very curious about this lifestyle and being submissive. I haven't acted much on it, but I have been experimenting a bit here and there.
I would really like to learn as much as possible about BDSM and figured what better way then to read about it and talk to others who are involved.
I hope this is the right place to post my introduction and I hope you welcome me as I could use some new friends who "get" me.

I'd just be interested to know if there is any etiquette or things I ought to know about before posting- any advice to an innocent would be appreciated!

- Respect others...treat them as you want to be treated. If you have a problem with someone, you may want to try to solve it via PM, or simply use the Ignore feature.
- Participate. Read, join, and start conversations. Have fun!
- Remember miscommunication is more likely in this medium. Read what you've written before submitting...check spelling, grammar, abbreviations, and think about how it might be interpreted. If you're confused by another member's post, kindly ask for clarification instead of jumping to conclusions or making accusations.
- Do some research before starting a thread/asking a question. Google, The Blank Manual Sticky , an advanced search of Lit , the vBulletin FAQ , and the thread you're reading now may answer your question quicker than you can post it and people can reply.
- Respond to threads you start. People are contributing time and effort, and will often ask the thread starter for additional information and clarification. Acknowledging that and participating in your own threads is common courtesy.
- Avoid asking questions you don't want answers to. People who frequent How To are generally very honest and may be speaking from experience. If you're not prepared to hear and deal with honest answers and opinions, it's probably best you not ask. Respectful disagreement is fine, but attacking posters because they aren't telling you what you want to hear is not.
- Don't feed the trolls. If you see a particularly mean/rude/out of context comment, you're probably dealing with a troll. Trolls thrive on the attention and emotions their personal attacks garner. Ignore them, and they'll usually get bored and go away rather quickly.

nymphee said:Ok, well I appologise in advance should I slip up and offend anyone. It would not be intended.
nymphee said:Hey curious subbie- I thought I would say hello as I'm new too and it seemed polite. Have you been around for very long?
