Guidelines to The Nest's Basement:   1. Never interrupt a scene in progress. 2.All Dom/mes are to be treated with respect. 3. All uncollared submissives always have the right to say 'no' when being asked to serve. 4. Collared submissives are ruled by their Master/Mistress. Collared submissives are often allowed to serve food/drinks but not interact in sexual scenes. If Y/you’re uncertain please ask the submissive first. 5. submissives wearing {Nest} or {N} after their name are Room slaves and serve under the Nest Council. They are unowned and are either in training and/or under the supervision of the Council Members. 6. Proper respect is to be rendered by submissives when they are in the service of One. After approaching a Top, the sub will cease talking to others, and focus solely on the Top being served, unless or until the Top says otherwise. 7. A Top who has been served by a sub, but who no longer requires the submissive's full attention shall dismiss her/him, along with an expression of thanks, which is always appreciated, if appropriate. 8. All submissives visiting are under the protection of The Staff of The Nest. Should a sub feel attacked and/or threatened by a Dom/me not showing proper respect towards the sub, she/he will MSG the Nest Council before leaving the room. Any Dom/mes present are expected to step in and protect the sub, if he/she seeks Their protection. To stand by a sub in distress is to be honorable. 9. Please remember that The Nest is NOT a coffee shop, but a VT environment, a VT semblance of a RT BDSM club. This is not RT and we have no intentions to make it RT either. In a RT club, Tops and bottoms alike are often equal outside the sexual BDSM scenes. This VT scene is more strict. Collared subs have in a way more freedom than uncollared ones as they abide by their Masters rules and act respectful or not towards Him/Her by her/his doings. Uncollared subs are ruled under the Nest guidelines and are to be respectful and pleasing to A/all. We who own The Nest want the room to be a safe haven for both submissives and Dom/mes. We especially want the room to be an educational and healthy environment for new and uncollared submissives.




General Guidelines:  

Read the room description to find out what the room looks like. The room description is made to give A/all the same view and the same frame. Use the facilities, the bar, the jukebox, the pool table, the hot tub etc. The room description is a tool, not a limitation of Y/your fantasy. If Y/you miss something in it, please feel free to install whatever equipment or furniture Y/you like. Make an effort when being here to "be in the room" rather than "a voice floating around in the air"

State Y/your position, where Y/you are located, so it may be easier for others to know in their mind's eye where Y/you sit/stand etc.
Make sure to describe Y/yourself, what Y/you're wearing, what Y/you look like, what Y/you're feeling, what Y/you're doing. The better the "picture" you provide/describe, the clearer "picture" O/others will have of Y/you and the room. Do not jump right in and post a simple "Hello".
If Y/you're alone in the room, wait a few minutes, post more than one post, stay and see if someone else comes in, all posts in the room echo to the "Hot List" and once a person has posted it will show there within 5 minutes, so don’t be impatient to get a reply.
Do not leave without posting "good-bye" *gone* or /lp (which means either last post or left place)

When someone enters, greet them.  When someone leaves, say farewell, unless of course, you are a sub currently serving a Master/Mistress, or participating in a scene. When Y/you enter and people are busy in conversations or scenes do not leave in haste if Y/you don’t get greeted right away. When the room is crowded it sometimes takes a while to notice a newcomer and if the people within are occupied scening, don’t expect to be acknowledged by T/them at all.
Don't hesitate to ask questions if Y/you're new, either to the BDSM scene or to VT chatting. A/all in here have once upon a time been new, and will more than gladly help Y/you to feel at home here with U/us.

If Y/you're new to the room, please come back often!  The more Y/you are here, the more Y/you chat and interact with others, the sooner W/we will know Y/you, and the better Y/your chances of finding what Y/you seek.. as a regular N/nestling.

We are protectors of VT scenes, and BDSM will always be put ahead of idle chatting in here. We don't leave our rt lives when entering vt, but we don’t bring them with us either. Please try to keep personal chats in private. The Staff can provide Y/you with a private room, should Y/you wish, if Y/you don’t own one of Y/your own, or use powwow, icq or other chat's to converse about "yesterday's laundry", "grandma's surgery", etc. This is a BDSM zone, and we who own it want it that way.

We're always ready to listen if Y/you're down or have problem's but it is our wish to keep this in private as much as possible and not "bring the mood down" for the entire room. Try, if Y/you can, to put away anger, disappointment when entering.
Remember to be as respectful and polite as possible to others, there is a human behind every keyboard. If offended, take a deep breathe and be ready to forgive rather than strike back and cause the room to turn upside down. Also remember to enlighten newcomers and be quick to forgive them if they seem to act rude out of not knowing the proper ways. Direct them towards the rules and guidelines and wish them a warm welcome back when they are ready to follow them.
It is our wish that those who wish to, will be able to make our home, their home. A friendly, peaceful, educating and arousing haven, with a lot of BDSM lingering in the air.
The Nest is not for A/all, but for those who want a serious BDSM home on the Net, built on the foundations of honor and respect for O/others and for the game.

If Y/you don’t agree with the above, please click on 'Hot' link in the chatroom menu on top of the page and find another place more to Y/your liking.

Sincerely
on behalf of The Nest Council
