Community Protocol

At Tangled Wood we are trying to encourage and help guide new Dominants and submissives along their journeys into the D/s-M lifestyle. As a reader and contributor to the Tangled Wood communities, we expect you to offer quality comments and conversations that bring value to all of our readers.

To ensure our communities are buzzing with quality conversation and the integrity of our membership is maintained, we reserve the right to, but undertake no duty to edit, not post (or later remove) any material that we find to be inappropriate. We are committed to making sure various points-of-view are represented in these conversations, and when commenting and conversing on community topics, participants are expected to:

D/s Etiquette – no Dominant is to make contact with or solicit any submissive, whether she is owned or not, including my Little Kaninchen.

Be respectful – do not insult, threaten, or abuse; do not use profanity, deception, or off-color remarks (or jokes); and do not post illegal content or another’s copyrighted work.

Be honest and engage – give us feedback about how we can make our community even better and offer accurate insights and informed responses when topics appeal to you.

Stay relevant – offer comments and feedback that contribute to quality conversation about the topic being discussed.

Be smart – do not reveal personal information about yourself or other members.

Be realistic – realize that no one within our communities are experts and that how they may represent themselves may not be who or what they really are.  Their suggestions, advice or recommendations should be viewed as entertainment in nature.

Be courteous – while re-blogs, pingbacks and links to our communities are appreciated, we do not allow soliciting or advertising of any sort to include private messaging.  POSTING ANY LINK to other websites, blogs, posts or articles is STRICTLY PROHIBITED,
