You go to ANY other site and there is always trouble. Even if the site is based on togetherness. There is always somebody who is at ends with somebody else. There are always cliques. There are always trolls. But not here. The Admins don't even have to set people straight that often. I find this amazing. Why is it that the people here are just soooooooo nice, helpful, and sweet? Especially since, behind closed doors, a lot of us can turn into S&M freaks (in a good way where our whips do the talking and our knees to the walking.
There are problems on any site. I'm sure this one included.

HOWEVER. I think they do a very good job here at keeping it between the person/people that have an issue, and I think they tend to catch threads quickly before things go to far astray.

I have to admit, the last two BDSM boards I was on (year/s ago) I was banned from because I had a different opinion that other people. I was waiting to have the same thing happen here and I was trying to not get to comfortable.

I like how the moderators/admins post a warning on the threads BEFORE they ban you. People will back off (me included) and try to be more polite if they get a warning instead of just banning them outright.



Edited to add: As for trolls, I sense a zero policy here. I love boards that don't keep around the "drama" to kick up business.
