Status: offline 		i have thought these forums were for ppl to come to to seek help and understand, with some humor thrown in for good measure...however i have noticed that a few choice few have (for lack of better words) been using this as a means to spirt out more of a challange than answers to some posts....Comapssion? is not this a place for people with concerns to come in the first place for? and it is not enough that we as subs/slaves are usuially the ones getting preyed upon, by Dominates, now we have to worry about our own brothers and sisters? i have seen a very clear cry for help in some of these questions that are posted, and have tried to reach out as well...we are all Mature adults here (unless in diapers)!! hehee j/k hard limit there for me! *sigh*  best of days to A/all

You know, I haven't been around since the start of the message boards but I really really doubt that this has ever been a place that wrapped all the good the little slaves and subs up in cotton and rocked them gently to sleep at night, all while guarding the door against the big bad "dominates".

If you specifically want a forum that protects/nurtures/supports, why are you looking here? I've never seen any claims made by CollarMe that their forums are a "safe place". Many alternate forums exists (I know for a fact that LJ has quite a few BDSM groups and some are exactly what you are describing).

While I personally have seen the community be both very uplifting to members who are going through troubled time, I have also them rip idiots to shreds. For whatever reason, it's part of the atmosphere here. It could have something to do with all the wankers who come in trolling for porn. Or could have something to do with people telling us how we should act.

Hey. Just a thought.

PS. Who the hell came up with "a dominate" anyway? Doesn't even make fuckin' sense...

I really really have to think carefully before i reply to the OP but your reply states it very clearly.
 
Nobody came up with "a dominate". It is used by those who either cannot spell or who read it in a post by someone who could not spell and thought "oh...that is how you write that".
 
For everybody's benefit i shall post this yet again.
 
A dominant is what a person is. Dominate is what they do.
 
Example of how these words are used in a sentence;
 
 I want a dominant  male to dominate me.

Awesome visual.


I will also echo, the first step in being taken seriously is to have a grasp of the difference between a dominant and dominate.

Status: offline 		this slave had a similar misconception upon arrival here as well.  since then, she has learned that, indeed, there are those who come here with questions, some even seem very desperate…especially the thinly or thickly-veiled “cry for help” ones… or they are actually inquisitive and genuinely seem to WANT diverse opinions from a variety of folks on the topic or question they present and are appreciative of input.
 
then there are folks who come to these message boards to:
*Vent, whine, or preach the one-true-way of _______________
*Engage in their humiliation fetish on either side of the slash
*Generate interest for or seek compatible potential partners
*Stroke or kick their ego
*Get attention/stir shit up
*Remind folk of spelling/grammar mistakes
*Ignore the rules of the site
 
Often under the guise of simply “asking a question” or posting a reply.  Often they aren't consciously aware of it, either.
 
We all “might” be mature adults here, but assuming we all
a) behave compassionately
b) exhibit or have the capacity for empathy or the spirit of camaraderie
c)  believe that gentle help when answering OP’s is the only way to help
is as unrealistic as assuming that CM is primarily somewhere people come with concerns or even to appreciate another’s POV.

I am not a member of  your WE.   
You will only  be preyed upon if you allow it.
Any one who does IMO just didnt use some basic common sense- rushed in with out thought- or ignored the warning signs.

Some questions are answered seriously. Some are not, perhaps it is a way to knock some sense into some one. Make them stop and think for a moment

Status: offline 		Keep in mind that we tend to read in the frame of mind we are in, not the frame of mind of the writer.  These posts can often offend if we are in a crappy mood to begin with or entertain if we are in a silly mood.  For example, those of us old enough to remember the original Saturday Night Live can hear the words, "Jane, you miserable slut" with humor because we were told that this was a comedy show.  Had we been watching Nightline and heard the same words we might feel outraged because we were told this is a serious news program.  Does this make sense?  Knowing that i can only read, not see body language, facial expressions, or know the mood of the writer, i take a lot of the posts with a grain of salt and i also know that this is the internet and not a life-altering event.

Status: offline 		If someone comes to the forum for information without having thought about their problem, researched their discussion topic, or even used a simple google search than that tells me a good deal about the person.  The sooner you lose the habit of expecting people to spoon feed you information, the better off you are.

Status: offline 		If you are naive enough to believe it is dominants who prey  poor submissive who are always the victim you are part of the problem.

People prey on people PERIOD.

When I read a post by a woman whining that every man she has been with has violated her boundaries I have two choices. I can verbally put my arms around her and say "poor girl, did the big bad men hurt you" OR I could ask her what the fuck patterns are driving her to pick assholes?

Once is feeding a person for a day the other is teaching them to fish. 

For me, the answer is less for the person asking it than for someone reading it.  Someone so blind to their behavior isn't ready to change but someone who is ready, who sees herself (or himself, I rail AND compliment both) in a post and is looking for what and how to grow just might come away with a better understanding of where they need to grow.

Status: offline 		If you question is sincere, you'll most likely get sincere answers.  If you come to whine or cry, well, you'll get whatever answers posters feel like giving.  Someone said that there are no stupid questions...there are a LOT of stupid questions and they usually get stupid or sarcastic answers.

You (meaning the general public) don't want to get preyed upon?  Use your fucking common sense...something that I see is lacking in so very many of the submissives here and, perhaps, the doms and switches also...did I leave anyone out?

Status: offline 		Sometimes I am in the mood to be helpful, other times I am not. I like being helpful to people, but like SimplyMichael stated, sometimes being overly kind is just not helpful. It is like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.

I usually avoid the threads about doms hurting subs unless I have something kind to say. I do not like to enable people in their search for drama either.

Status: offline 		As a person who has found myself wondering why now a days people are soo god damn judgemental??? Like come on !!! its 2007 and we are making comments on how people spell or how they write their posts. I have writen a few posts and have found that alot off people reply without thinking before hand. And in a way thats not fair, because there are so many young, new people on here like myself that are getting bullshit replies from people who are being rude or getting told that its wrong. Now think about it......how would you feel if yur sub/slave turned their backs on your because they find out that your not really being true??? Many wont understand what I mean by that but for the few who do, Keep asking questions, just remember to only take in the replies that  you feel are real and true. I have learned not listen to all of what people say on here only because I have gotten hurt from listening to someone else and not being TRUE to myself.

Thats all I have to say on this!

I know that I'd never, but never, post a *problem* here.

Now, I am helpful in another way.

I hold up a mirror for the sociopathic ( as if it will help - they are far gone)
but to also warn the innocent : predatory behavior IS NOT ALL RIGHT.

actually, there is a huge difference between what you and Michael do (which is say your truth without sugar coating it) and the way in which others seem  to seriously seek to wound.  There are those who go for the jugular for no other reason than they can.
