<strong>[EDIT: I have a reply from a Mod (Beguile's Mistress) in spoiler tags below regarding this issue.]</strong><br/><br/>The FIRST order of business, so far as I'm concerned, regards whether or not we should remain in the Light Board - because of the nature of our RP, it's likely that we're going to have references to unhappy slaves, as well as scenes where slaves are fussed at and such for their rude behavior in public.<br/><br/>Would light descriptions of those scenarios be enough for me to ask a Mod to move our threads? I'd like to avoid incurring any of the Mods' wraths considering how fresh-off-the-block we are.<br/><br/>I've noticed that the description for the Light<em>and</em>Non-Con boards reference<strong>consensual sexual situations only</strong>. Considering that the convention of slavery in this board will not include sexual situations (though you may very well create your own topics from this Universe in the appropriate boards if you so choose to engage in an individual encounter) and is actually an institution that permeates the culture rather than simply sexual context, my initial thought is 'no'.<br/><br/>That said, I'd still like to hear more opinions on this. For those of us already involved in the group, I don't think that it would be a problem - however, when we invite others in to play, they may have ideas and understandings that are separate from our small group.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Reply from Beguile's Mistress regarding this post</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The subject of slavery in your story does not impact the forum where you story can be posted.  However, we usually advise members to select the forum they feel will allow the freedom they need for their story to continue.  If you feel there is a chance for any non-consensual sexual activity you should put your story in the NC forum. <br/><br/>Threads can also be moved by a Staff member at any time so starting in the Light forum is fine and if activities move beyond that just ask and we'll make the move.<br/><br/>I hope this answers your question but I'm here if I've missed something.<br/><br/>Beguile's Mistress<br/>for Staff</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div>
