ORIGINAL: belongtoyou So, i was chatting with someone who informed me of this Slave registry thing. i checked it out, and the mere idea that exists makes me nervous, (for what i'm hoping are obvious reasons). What i'd like to know is: have any Master/Mistresses used this registry? What exactly is the purpose? -Is it supposed to be the equivilant of a marriage license? Or is this more of a "business" agreement. Also, what happens if One's slave runs away, and/or disappears? Does this mean that the Mistress/Master would send out a search party to find, capture, and return "their" slave? Are there any safeguards for the slave included in the registry? BTW, i checked out the website, but it didn't give me the answers i was looking for. Any info about this would be greatly appreciated. thanks, ~rain~ belongtoyou, Yes I have used the slave registry. My current slave is registered and has (at my request) listed me as her owner. Does it provide any legal basis? No. Is it a way for a slave to formally declare to the world that they are a slave? Yes. Does it offer the slave any kind of protection? No. It is neither a business agreement or a marriage license kind of thing. It is more of a declaration of status. (NOT legal status). So what value does it have? A couple of things come to mind. The date a slave has registered is shown on the certificate. It gives a way for slave to document how long they have been a slave. It assigns a unique number to each slave, which can then be tattooed on the slave. This can give those who want it a greater sense of being/owning property. Could a Master/Mistress send out a search party? Sure, but the you wouldn't need the slave registry for that. Just money. And a posse. Do such things happen? Possibly. Does it have anything to do with the slave registry? Nope. That is my take on the slave registry. I am sure that others will have other opinions. Hope this helps. Peace and Light ShadowHwk
