Only one rule for me, covers honesty (where appropriate or necessary), communication (w.a.o.n.) and just about everything else life throws at me.......

Minimise Harm.

Two simple words, but amazingly complex in practice, and sometimes difficult to implement.

Ok.
This is going to be messy. But let me try.
I know that ther are absolutely NO absolutes. But, what if you were to really try to write a book of rules for the life. What in your mind would be most important, least important, and the notso important "must haves?"
I see lots of posts in here on various topics that generally come down to what are the rules of; being a sub/slave, dominating, etc.
Let's say that between us on CM, we have been charged with writing a rule book. BTW Noah... I think it should be 2 nudies for every toy, and 1 "money" as profile, lol
Any way, so as to give a thread dedicated to the one twue rule book, I took it upon myself to begin a thread on this topic. I did a VERY quick search on this and found everything to be disorganized. So I stopped looking.
I would love to see real answers, sarcasm welcome, but I would like to see what everyones individual idea is on their own version of rules, and maybe as a "community" come to some sort of consensus as to what they could be, if generalized enough to "fit the mold." I expect the rules are different for each person, so I will be taking the time to look at each one and see what of each one could be gleaned and reformatted to within/out context be applicable to the whole. I would love to see, as a continually evolutionary input, a listing continually edited on OP a list of What It Is That We Do handbook... lol I know I have not perfectly expressed my self here, so any ?'s feel free.

HUH no where in you first post did you say you were not serious.  perhaps once you saw the direction of the post you were like " i was only kidding"   but at that point it was to late for you to back out.  Seriously  dude you take this/yourself  way to serious.

Rule 1. Honesty

quote:

ORIGINAL: LadyRainfire
1. Honesty in all things for me. If you don't like that, I'm sorry but it's your problem. (I've been burned extremely bad - anyone want the gory details, feel free to ask privately, I don't mind sharing. Just not on an open forum.)

Rule 2. Communication

quote:


4. Communication. If we don't talk, it ain't happening. And if we don't talk honestly, it REALLY ain't happening. 

Rule 3. ALL new subs MUST submit their profile to me, and make their presence before me to... approve the validity of all and any statements made in thier profile.

Rule 4.

quote:

ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross
Stay true to yourself.

Rule 5.

quote:

ORIGINAL: velvetears
i would have one rule.  There are no rules

Rule 6.

quote:


2. Limits. Yep, I have them. If you don't like 'em, again, your problem, not mine. I'll respect yours (even if you don't claim any), you respect mine. Some are self-imposed and hard, some are open to education and negotiation.

Rule 7.

quote:


3. Tolerance. You may not like me and I may not like you and thats ok. But don't slam me because I'm not slamming you, I'm politely ignoring you. Thankfully I haven't had that happen here yet.

A book of 'Rules'? Rules implies truisms. I swear, if we have one more thread or debate about 'true this', 'true that'.....argghhh....I'm running away to join the Goreans, cause they don't fuck around with the truth.

Of course they do. Goreans are still a group of humans and individuals within that group are just as likely to lie as any other individual within a group of humans.

do whatever you and your playmate decide works for you, do not try to copy what you have seen or read somewhere else, this is an individual relationship thing, what works for them may not work for you.  relax, enjoy, explore and find your own path, it works alot better.

And if you want the Rules to be in true CollarMe style, HerLord, to get full support from fellow posters, you must put in something about correct spelling, punctuation and grammar.

I think punctuation, grammar, and spelling are a thing of the past. It is my affirmation that in the very near future, spellcheck will no longer exist, for the American language is so rapidly being so terribly, terribly bastardized that even the newest supercomputers will not be able to keep up with the idiocy that is human devolution.

er ........ HerLord? .......... hello? .......... that was a joke. A humorous jocularity or witticism, founded on the irritating way in which we are known to hijack perfectly sensible threads to be picky on spelling etc.

You stick anything on spelling in your Rule book and you'll see a long queue of CM ppl lining up to burn all copies with me near the front.

No rules....just a few concepts...."truths" if you will.

• Consequence is inevitable
  
• Choice precedes action
  
• Control is an illusion
