The different sections

Many people seem to have a lot of problems with understanding what goes in which thread in the SM area and what they are there for. So in this section I will go over what the section, and the area itself is used for.

The S/m area:
This is the main section that you come across when you click the link of the main page. This main area is where you will find all the adverts for people who are searching for a dominant (master) or a submissive (slave) and where you too can post an advert searching for a submissive (providing that you are over the age of 18 otherwise it is naughty). As mentioned a second ago posting in this section is only possible for members whose accounts are registered as 18 or over. Otherwise you will simply receive this message
“getDare Forum Message
you must be at least 18 years old to post in the slave/master section”
You may only post one new thread per 30 days in this section. Accidental double posts or double threads will be deleted or locked by getDare staff. Repeatedly posting the same thread or reply will result in a ban.
Rules can be found >> here: http://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=19319

Top Advertisements
This section is where all the super dooper epically awesome ads go; and where you should aspire to be. The best advertisements in the regular S/M advertisements section will be picked out by getDare staff and moved to this forum. You may PM Leopard with a link to someone else's ad for consideration if you feel it specially deserves the attention. While the option to post “new thread” is there still you will receive an infraction for doing so.

S/M Lounge:
The S/M lounge is for anything like asking for advice, discussing techniques, roles and rules. Here you’ll find things like the advice thread, databases of kinks, threads informing you on roles and expectations (like the how not to be a dumbinant thread) and basically anything and everything to do with s/M that doesn’t fit in the other sections. However you should NOT post ads, stories, or dare/task/punishment requests in here there are specific places for these.
Specific rules this section can be found here >> http://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=21399
while general posting rules can be found here>> http://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=29353
Again DO NOT post adverts here: take heed of the fact that you see ads in the s/M area and follow their lead. The 12159 threads and counting that are in that section are NOT the ones that are wrong.

SM Blog
Simple enough 18+ Section for linking OR posting S/M related blogs. All content MUST be your own. Examples of what you can do here include slave journals, tutorial blogs, etc.

Post Punishments and Ideas:
This section is where you can post any ideas you have for tasks and punishments for slaves/submissives ideas should be well thought out, and of a reasonable length- do not post 3 lines worth and dump it there. It is full of lots of useful (and some downright silly/dangerous/moronic) ideas if you’re ever lost for a plan. This section is NOT for requesting punishments (see below for requesting tasks or punishments.

Request punishments and ideas:
This section really is as simple as its title suggest. It is where you post asking for punishments or ideas. Note that the more detailed are in your initial title and thread; then the more likely you are to quickly receive relevant responses that you can actually use.

Some final notes on age!
As mentioned before ads can only be posted by members who are over 18. However posting in the other sections is open. The age of this section is largely over 18 due to legalities- In MOST countries the participation in BDSM is restricted to +18 to correspond with the possession, creation and purchasing of pornographic materials. You may think it’s silly but it is the law and some places actually see participation from the point of view of a dom as a form of assault and a submissive as aiding and abetting in assault. * This is why the moderation is so strict on in this matter. Just because you are able to post in the lounge as a 13-17 year old; DOES NOT mean that this is where you can post looking for dominant/master/submissive or slave. It’s still breaking the rules and the law to post there and speaking from experience it isn’t really worth it.

*BDSM practices are still restricted legally in countries worldwide, and prosecutions are on
the increase in the US (Ridinger, 2006). In the UK Spanner case (Regina vs. Brown, 1990),
sixteen men were charged. The Judge (Mr. James Rant, QC) declared that consent was not
an eligible defence and the defendants had to plead guilty and serve prison sentences either
for assault or, in the case of the ‘bottoms’, for ‘aiding and abetting an assault’.
