Ice Fire has been created as a place for the discussion of serious BDSM issues and ideas and as a place to share and learn from each other. It is also intended as a comfortable place where you can make your mark and have your own space. If you wish to discuss serious BDSM, ask serious BDSM questions and get serious answer, offer assistance, and create a support group/online community where we encourage each other, then you've come to the right place. We are delighted to welcome you.

1. Treat other users with respect and courtesy. Remember, being Dom/me does not automatically mean "Do as I say!" and being sub does not automatically mean "How may I serve you?" And yes, being nasty, ugly and rude is enough to be escorted to the door.

2. No means no. If you can't accept "No thank you." graciously, forget it. Public requests for sex not only will get you laughed at, but will also get you bounced. Consent is everything.

3. Using any BDSM command without consent is cause for 48 hour arrest (minimum) and repeated offenses will get your site banned. This also applys for hugs, gropes, bops or anything else involving touching of another user. Again, consent is everything.

4. The Gathering_Place is our main room. If you have a discussion of interest to only a few people, please move to a private room and enjoy your discussion there. We do not allow public scening in the Gathering_Place as this is our only public room. If you wish to scene publicly, we offer the Voyeur room for your enjoyment (And ours!).

5. The Entrance is reserved for setting up of accounts and log on's only. If you are in the Entrance for any other reason, you will be asked to move. There is no scening in the Entrance.

6. Any room deemed racial, rude, or just plain offensive will be removed. You may change your room description and profile as often as you like, but if a complaint is filed we will investigate. If you find a room that you consider to be offensive, please contact a DM as soon as possible. If one isn't available, try copying the offensive text and emailing it to a DM to view. Kim's word on what is offensive is final.

In the event that a user is reported to the DM's, the DM's will have the final say. If you feel you've been wrongly accused or harrassed, you can state your case with the DM's. In the event that you need a higher power, you may plead your case to Kim. Kim's word will always be final.

We have additional cultural guidelines. Not knowing them CAN get you arrested or worse. We recommend you read the web site: http://www.iron-rose.com/IR/rules.htm

Even if a Dungeon Master isn't around, report problems via smail. We will take your complaints seriously. For our philosophy on Dungeon Masters, type .show dm or check this website.
