Just a few thoughts on this topic.
I can see both points in this discussion. Then again I always try to see both sides of the story as best as I can.
On one hand, Blue and Andrea are looking more at the labeling that would occur to the forum. I can see the downfall in that. As we all know the Ice House and AB&G are two of the most hottest topics in the forum. If we start labeling would we then have to stop the natural flow of some of the little things we do in these places because we “might” offend others? I know my mind can go here there and yonder and if it flows why stop and post elsewhere.
Also another thing that I know from work is that the more signs there are the less likely the people will read them. If we start putting up signs all over due to the fetish we want. People will stop seeing the warning sign especially for those of us who are used to going to those areas. Say one day we go to an area that contained some lets say blood play since it was brought up. The sign would do nothing for us and we would end up freaked out, shocked, or whatever the case might be.
On the other hand, having something to make the people aware of the content is good. In a lot of stories out on the web, they will post some of the content that can be found in that story. Whether it helps people to find certain stories or to warn the readers that hey this might not be the story you want to read.
A lot of times people will read the beginning and see if it is something they want to read and if it doesn't take hold and make them read more they stop. So suggestion. Maybe when there is any kind of play. Just a quick jot at the beginning stating what could be found. Can even give a vanilla one too. So say Martin and I were playing and I ended up just jumping on him and having fun nothing kinky just plain vanilla. We could say VANILLA at the top before out post. Other times Tango has tied up HB just to have fun but that was it so they could put ROPE BONDAGE at the top of theirs. This way people will know the content before reading and can decide if they want to read the loving going on between the individuals in this play.
Every person on here has a different past, so each person has a different mind function on what is SAFE. Whether on forum or even on GAME, people tend to feel unsafe at times. They will deal with it differently. Some could clam up and stop talking, maybe they disappear offline, or whatever the case may be because they are no longer safe. They have felt threatened or brought up HUGE reminders of their past. I know me sometimes once I read some things or if a certain topic is brought up it is so hard for me to talk or deal with it cause it isn't easy.
The main thing everyone needs to remember is that each one of us is unique and different. We are all special. Whatever the case may be for the forum in the future. The biggest thing we can do is treat one another with as much love and encouragement as we can. This forum is a family so we look out for one another. Someone gets hurt we will be there if they let us. Someone has good news, we listen and celebrate. OK so probably sidetracked off the main point a couple times but that is me lol my mind always jumps.
and no HB i don't
