shai^tana -> Slave Registry (3/22/2004 6:18:01 PM)
rain asked a very important question in the Category Ask a Master. As this one is owned property it is inappropriate for comments to be posted in that category. This one has been directed by her Master to post them here, where it is permissible for slaves to speak. Greetings rain; This girl offers the following information quoted directly from the site you are asking about. quote: "The Slave Register provides a central place for the registration of slaves and submissives, independent of any local BDSM group, IRC channel, relationship etc. Each registration is assigned a unique Slave Registration Number ("SLRN") with a corresponding URL and webpage showing their slave registry entry. Owned submissives and slaves can add the name of their Owner to their Register entry and display an online Ownership certificate. Joining the Register allows slaves to obtain a lifelong Registration Number, which can remain unchanged even if their name is changed by future Owners. The Registration Number is suitable for encoding in a variety of permanent and semi-permanent markings and tags (collars, dog-tags, tattoos etc), and a barcode is displayed on each entry page and certificate. If an individual is marked or tagged with a Slave Regisration Number in some way, then they are identifiable as a slave, and third parties may determine the slave's Owner using the number and The Slave Register. Registration is free and will remain so (and yes, you can take The Slave Register just as seriously or as light heartedly as you feel comfortable with ;) For an outline of the rationale behind the Register, see the "Money, the Marketplace and The Slave Register" article at http://www.slaveregister.com/marketreg.html " "This kind of external validation is circular: other people take it seriously because other people take it seriously. For this reason, we started The Slave Register in January 2000 to try to jump start this kind of process. We've created a site that people can use to advertise their desire to find a Master or slave, and to publically record their Ownership when they find someone. (It can fulfill the role of Personal Ads and Marriage Notices in the back of your local newspaper.)" This girl suspects many both Master and slave see such a register as a step in cementing the relationship in a way that is consistent with the broader world. A passport declares one to be a citizen of a particular country and subject to its rules, laws and demands. Perhaps a similar situation exists for slaves who are registered there, that is to say...owned property of a particular Master, and subject to His rules, laws and demands. For some it is another layer of tangible declaration of their core element - that of slave. As the site suggests, one is free to use this service in whatever way might be found pleasing or valuable. The bar code identification mark may be used as a decorative tattoo, or identifying mark merely to be pleasing, or for the formal purposes of buying and selling slaves. Finally the slave has a strong sense of belonging to a greater network of people in the lifestyle when her status is logged with countless others…a sense of being a part of a greater whole if you will. Her Master choosing to have her registered speaks clearly of His absolute belief in her slavery and the appropriateness of declaring her so. There is a comfort in this that some might not envision or understand. shai^tana [image]local://upfiles/11550/D47AAD353BC64E70A2CFC14B3C9D7643.gif[/image]

sub4hire -> RE: Slave Registry (3/24/2004 12:56:55 PM)
I have to say. I do know a few people who happen to have their names on that website. They display it proudly online. In real life none have ever told me they are there. I've merely noticed it on their profiles. When you are talking to a friend...get bored click to see if anything is new on their profile. Slave registry. For me this is not something I'd like to ever do. I can't say as though I've ever spoken to my Dominant about it. So this is merely my opinion. There are many other ways to make you feel like your relationship cemented. Why not a handfasting? Many BDSM couples do that. Collaring ceremony. Not a whole lot do that. Some do though. I guess what I am trying to say is it is'nt for me. I could see why some people would want to use the slave registry though.

iwillserveu -> RE: Slave Registry (3/24/2004 1:54:50 PM)
shai^tana, Just curious. Why is there a "^" in your name? Most of us make do with English.[:D] (Just kidding. Some people would see that as an attack.) Congratulations on your master. Now for a serious questioning comment for your master. If she is offering sound advice to one who needs it, don't you think it should be on the same board where the other posted? BTW, "Ask a Master" assumes someone who is not a Master is asking. If shai^tana has relevant info (as approved by you) I personally doubt any would be offended. This is like her hearing a question, having a good answer, and going to another room and saying the answer where the questioner is not.

inyouagain -> RE: Slave Registry (3/24/2004 6:20:16 PM)
Thank you shai^tana, sub4hire and SherriA. For the record, I recently explained a very powerful board function to someone in another thread, and it may actually fit/apply perfectly in this case: [image]http://www.collarme.com/forum/image/block.gif[/image] - Click the green dot next to his nick/handle, and his comments will no longer be seen or heard in offense/disrespect... you won't have to endure the continual lost cause resentment and hear how bad and stupid male Dominants are (ludicrous examples of Germans bombing Pearl Harbor, sun setting in the east, boiling points, allegations a stupid male Dominant 'hacked' his profile, etc)... and you will effectively have shut him up, denying him permission to berate/disrespect you, or your Dominant). Note: Keep an eye open for new members named 'iwilltakeittomygrave'. [image]http://www.collarme.com/forum/image/unblock.gif[/image] - Click the red dot next to his nick/handle ONLY IF the ms redeems himself by appologizing to you outside this board (as you won't be able to see his appologies here if his 'dot' is red). Hmm... interesting indeed - board level discipline... what a concept! IMHO: iwillserveu owes shai^tana AND her Master an appology for his condescending and disrespectful post! Inyouagain

sub4hire -> RE: Slave Registry (3/25/2004 11:26:23 AM)
I don't see a red dot. Frankly thanks for the tidbit on collar me. It is'nt something I would ever do though. I see no real reason for ever having to block anyone. Sure I could see it if everytime I signed on they crashed my computer somehow. Then I'd have a valid reason. Most people though block others because they just don't want to be bothered. Usually the person wants to learn. Far be it from me to judge if someone can learn or not. Granted there are the annoying pests as well. Although..with a little time and patience they too can be dealt with on a civil manner. Why are people pests? They are craving attention. Blocking them does nothing to help the situation. I personally would rather work out problems than run from them. I know this topic was off topic. Although...I just had to comment.

iwillserveu -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 2:00:30 AM)
Gloria, Inyouagain means me. The Green dot is next to my name. Funny how the idiot is now coming to the conclusion that he should ignore me like he promised he would. It has only been, what three weeks? Perhaps he should get the hair out of his ass. (If you do not claim the sunrises in the north can you be insulted by someone who says it rises in the East? Oh, watch him reply to this and prove he has not hit the button.:)) If I ever said anything untrue I apologize. I've apologized to SherrieA. However to a man who claims he has read more Domme profiles than a sub male I will not apologize. Inyouagain, please click the dot and no one will ever bother you with the truth again.

iwillserveu -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 2:02:28 AM)
I apologize to shai^tana if she foir some reason is offended. If shai^tana's master can't handle the truth...

quote: ORIGINAL: sub4hire I don't see a red dot. Once you click the green dot above monkeyboy's name it will become a red dot and monkeyboy's daily diarreah will no longer be splattered onto your monitor. quote: Frankly thanks for the tidbit on collar me. It is'nt something I would ever do though. I see no real reason for ever having to block anyone. Sure I could see it if everytime I signed on they crashed my computer somehow. Then I'd have a valid reason. Most people though block others because they just don't want to be bothered. Usually the person wants to learn. The info was provided for everyone, so they will be aware of the option... whether used or not, the option is still there and people need to 'learn' about it. A person who wants to learn will never be blocked. A monkeyboy who does not learn is another story, and condescending disrespectful posts are not my idea of 'wanting to learn'... these type posts denigrate the message board and disrespects all members. quote: Far be it from me to judge if someone can learn or not.

Blocking them does nothing to help the situation. I personally would rather work out problems than run from them. I know this topic was off topic. Although...I just had to comment. Ability or inability to learn is demonstrated, hence the earned title of monkeyboy. Let monkeyboy go get attention from his Domme (if he can find one). There is absolutely NO NEED or solicitation of condescending and disrespectful behavior by a monkeyboy attention slut towards others here, especially male Dominants. The collarme TOS does not mandate male Dominants read monkeyboy rubbish in exchange for their membership and participation in the message board. Blocking monkeyboys will simply decrease the size of the audience they crave, and the subsequent feedback that serves as the catalyst for the next squirt of monkeyboy diarreah. As it stands now, monkeyboy has enjoyed a captive audience... but the green dot is any member's 'safe word' way out of another monkeyboy board scene. By all means do what you feel is right for you, and likewise other members should do what they feel is the right thing for themselves also. It's always a good thing to know your options. To each their own. Inyouagain

belongtoyou -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 6:51:38 AM)
Greetings all, While i do appreciate all of the useful info on how to avoid "monkeyboys," that was not the purpose of this thread. i do not mean to be rude or offend; but i do truly desire more information about the slave registry. Thank you shai^tana for posting the information about the slave registry; however i am more interested in people's personal experiences with being registered as a slave, and the Master/Mistress experience of registering their slave (s). Just to redirect: what process, or what led up to the M/s's deciding to get registered? And, does that slave also wear their Master's collar? What does it mean to those individuals in terms of their level of commitment, was there any type of ceremony attached to being registered? Thanks to all for the info provided thus far. Cheers, ~rain~

sweetieboop -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 3:56:53 PM)
I could have sworn that there was a post from Estring on here saying that he knows someone that registered there. I guess it could have been another thread, but I can't find it now. I never heard of it before the message boards, but I take it to be a type of ownership declaration. As far as the buttons, I think it's useful if you are constantly attacked by someone for stating your opinions, views and feelings and don't want to acknowledge them anymore. If you block their messages, you don't even have to look at their nonsense. :)

Estring -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 4:15:06 PM)
Sorry sweetie, but I never have commented on the slave registry........ Or have I?[;)]

sweetieboop -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 4:22:15 PM)
I could have sworn you said you know someone. Sorry Sir, I must have gotten you confused with someone.

shai^tana -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 5:50:41 PM)
Greetings ~rain~ If this one might try to speak to your latest inquiry: it is thought there are generally a few reasons one might seek to become involved with the Registry; a Master may choose that a slave be registered in order to be logged into a central repository of slaves. This could facilitate any number of situations, such as sale of the slave, loaning/renting of the slave for specific functions as in a pony slave, or a household slave, or entering of a slave in "slave games" or other slave community functions the bar code may be utilized as a tattoo or other body marking on the slave and link to the registration information in order that there is some registration of the owned status and state of the slave. This aligns very well with what the rest of the world does in fact as in when a child is born, one registers the child with the state. simply by externally declaring that the slave is owned property, has a solidifying effect in much the same way as when you say something aloud repeatedly, (like a mantra) it becomes more real. The slave can access the site and view her registration thereby reinforcing her enslaved state. It is often hard in this world to be able to view such a thing in our lifestyle. Clearly this is not for everyone, as nothing in our lifestyle is transferrable to everyone. Those who choose this, have their own reasons for doing so. When a slave begs surrender to a Master and He accepts her with His collar, there is no requirement for listing on the slave registry of course. This one would offer that the two are distinct and separate, though admittedly a Master may choose to register His slave at any point. Many are registered there as is clear from the numbers posted on the site and without interviewing them all as to their motivation, we can only broadly speculate. shai^tana

topcat -> RE: Slave Registry (3/26/2004 6:45:00 PM)
shai^tana- Pardon my jumping in with a non-sequitor, but I wanted to mention that I find your style of writing most enjoyable. This is surprising to me, as I am more often than not find gor-speak annoying. Your posts have caused me to recognise that I am more annoyed the lack of coherance, grammar or format that it I am acustomed to seeing it expressed with. Seeing your meticulously composed posts gives me the same pleasure as seeing anything that is made with care, and well. My respects to your M. stay warm, Lawrence

shai^tana -> RE: Slave Registry (3/28/2004 2:36:10 PM)
Master Lawrence/topcat: The Owner and Master of this one permits that this girl thank You for Your comments. It is what slaves strive for, to be found pleasing, and reflect well on the training given by their Master. shai^tana

iwillserveu -> RE: Slave Registry (3/29/2004 2:42:18 PM)
Since there is confusion about the red dot thing, I'll post a reply I sent to someone via real e-mail: inyouagain is pointing out what he should have done weeks ago. If you click on the green dot next to a name all posts by that person will be unseen by you. (In essence you get to live in your own little world where submissives never point out when you are wrong. [:)]) I'd reccomend doing nothing. Unless you want to stop seeing everything a person writes. Oh, no offense intended but the question "Protect you from what?" must've hit a nerve. (No offense intended - I know you are Male Dom/ female sub. I've never seen that in Female Domme / male sub.) I also corrected him on a few other minor points. Idiots hate a submissive with a brain.[:)] I have no idea if he sees "Should slaves have their own mind?" without my name as thread starter. I also don't really care. Sorry this is not spell checked. I have to install MSWord. For the record, I addressed a hacker that might have made my profile invisible. inyouagain insists it was aimed at male Doms. I have enough touble with what I say offending people I don't need help from him.:)

inyouagain -> RE: Slave Registry (3/29/2004 5:54:22 PM)
Sometimes the best way to deal with a monkeyboy is to pretend you cannot see the monkeyboy... then it puts on it's best show and makes a true monkey of itself. [:D] If there is anyone who can still see the monkeyboy?... please give it a banana, thanks! [;)] Inyouagain

belongtoyou -> RE: Slave Registry (3/29/2004 8:56:51 PM)
Greetings shai^tana, So far you and sub4hire are the only ones that have even attempted to answer any of my questions regarding the slave registry, and for that i am grateful. i do wonder if you could show me how to move most of this thread elsewhere, since it has taken a seriously wrong turn! Thanks again for your input thus far, ~rain~

feline -> RE: Slave Registry (3/30/2004 12:10:33 PM)
i do believe this all started in the Master's Forum. Although by whom i can't be sure. If you would like the link to the Slave Registry i posted it long before this all started in the Link Forum. i have friends who are very proud to be registered there. That's one reason i posted the link. Take care. [image]local://upfiles/17000/2406F374FAB14825B0D13334838474A9.gif[/image]
