Be polite. (things
like thank you and please will go a long way)
Watch and listen.
Get the feel of a room and its occupants before you try to make a splash
Respect collars.
A collar signifies a deep relationship between a Dom/me and sub. The levels
of this relationship may vary but the collar generally means that that
particular sub belongs to that Dom/me. Think of it as a wedding band and
act accordingly.
Respect the rooms
own rules. Each room has it's own particulars. Read any information available
to you on it. Not all rooms are the same. Which is why # 2 is so important.
Always ask first.
It’s better to ask someone who is familiar with the room and it’s unwritten
laws that can help you than to make a big mistake and upset someone without
really knowing what you did.
Although you may
very well be the best, no one wants to constantly hear you say it.
Don't force yourself
on anyone. If they signal by words or action that they wish you to leave
them alone, back off.
Don't interrupt
an ongoing scene. It takes time for both participants to get into
the right frame of mind to carry out a scene, don't interupt them.
Doing so can destroy the scene for them. Also don't send private
messages to any of those involved. Any destraction may destoy the
mood. Similarly don't make comments about the scene unless it seems
that they are invited. Expecially rude remarks or questions.
Please don't be
put off by all the rules. Once you start following them, they become second
nature. Be open-minded, make friends and soon you'll be in a room, looking
around, and know you're at home.
