Status: offline 		Like many out there, I am a member of other various sites and groups related to the discussion of BDSM.  On this wonderful site, the creators had the vision to include an "off topic' discussion area.  Specifically for those things that folks would want to discuss that are not directly related.  Politics, religion, or scores of other things that are interesting, but no necessarily related to kink.
 
Other sites/discussion groups don't necessarily have this in place.  Not all forums have the capacity to do so.  More than once, I've written a general email saying that, while I appreciate the person's thoughts or feelings about another topic at the moment, it's really not what I'm a member for.  I have no desire to be on some yahoo group for the purpose of BDSM discussion, and have someone decide to spam Me about their political issues, religious views, or any other thing that they feel the need to post about that they do not connect to lifestyle discussion in some way.  This includes, but isn't limited to cutesy little "make a wish", "tug the hearstring" stuff, or any other catagory.  If you want to talk about four legged pets being put down. that's fine, but don't involve Me in it if it's a BDSM forum.
 
Any thoughts on spam through your BDSM mailing lists?

Status: offline 		You get it everywhere, i guess it depends, i think sometimes people can be over zealous esp when the post is put in the wrong area and it was a genuiene mistake, sometimes there can be over catagorising. I agree with BDSM forums it should be kept to BDSM but ive had mails on other sites where my blog has contained something non BDSM related or even just in conversation in instant message when people (well Doms actually) have told me i shouldnt have an opinion on anything outside of BDSM that bugs the hell out of me, i have opinions on everything :P

Status: offline 		In fact, colour, I have no issue with something that started as a topic from something else.  Specifically, in most mail groups, there is the option to either reply to sender or reply to all.  I'm not saying a personal comment doesn't ever come up between individuals that might go another way.  What I'm saying is, why not respect the folks who are interested in the BDSM discussion enough to keep your personal discussions..... well..... personal?
 
Rrafe, usually it isn't difficult to ignore.  In the same token, I don't see the need for the uninvited fluff on certain message boards.  Not that I haven't believed in or agreed with some of the content.  "Keep this flag waving" or "poor little kid with disease" emails included. 
 
<Chuckles>  Now watch the Mods send this discussion thread to the "Unrelated Topics" forum.

Sometimes no, its very easy you press delete close the box and move on. Sometimes for whatever reason, you have had a bad day and i get home and read something ignorant or offensive (especially if its aimed right at me) i think ive a right to call them on it

Status: offline 		Yes: i hate spam. stuff that comes through on aol is the worse. Yahoo froups just so often turn out to be tedious discussions of the minute details of somenone's washing, colour of their favourite pet or just crap...but we all have that need in us to dump info about a bad day. I learned the hard way about projecting meaning onto and introjection meaning from emails. The guy was a pathological liar and I moved on. It has taught me to be more detached. if it is from somebody i know who is a freidn at a idsstance then io take care to anser it and give input.
Most of the silly scams I just speed read and delete. Anything which is for viagr, or penis enlargement, men calling me Mistress and not being worthy to be at my feet type stuff (if you ain;t worthy to be at my feet then get off the bloody floor idiot0 bdsm crap I just delete withotu even reading.
Every so often I just permanently delete all my emails as you never know; Big Brother is watching.

Status: offline 		Fluff is a part of all lists.  Polite and balanced group lists have only a few fluff posts a month and always politely subject titled with an "OT" to denote "off topic" so that everyone will know it's a fluff post and/or not really related to the group subject itself.

It's a matter of finding groups that have the fluff/tough balance that you like with enough polite posters to make it a worthwhile place to hang.

Status: offline 		Those of us in the Boston area lived through a good 200-post war on Mac vs. Windows superiority on one list/board a couple weeks back. That followed an equally useful thread on whether "all BBW's are skanks".
