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
