  The Steering Committee has adopted the following Protocols that
shall be adopted and used by A/all Guild M/members at O/our Parties
and Social Functions... It was once said that "One cannot have too
much Protocol - but once lessened it cannot be regained..."

  It is O/our sincere belief that each M/member is a representative of
the Guild at O/our Functions... W/we shall be treated by O/others
only to the Standards that W/we allow O/ourselves to be treated... It
is incumbent that these Standards be executed and maintained...

  These are the Standards that separate U/us from the norm. Be Proud
for what these stand for. Anything less than excellence is
unacceptable.

CLUB PROTOCOLS:

    For simplicity W/we follow basic protocol rules to allow for each
specific Group of Tops, Dominants, Masters, submissives, bottoms
and/or slaves to freely, openly, and WITHOUT APOLOGY, practice
T/their respective KINK in an unrestricted atmosphere, whether it
be Bondage/Discipline; Bondage; Sadism/Masochism;
Dominance/submission; and/or, Master/slave delineations, whether from
the Mild to the Extreme.

GENERAL PROTOCOLS:
1- Guild M/members are expected to Preserve The Anonymity and Privacy
    of other M/members outside the Clubhouse. There are NO EXCEPTIONS
    TO THIS RULE. VIOLATE THIS CODE OF CONDUCT AND YOU SHALL BE
    SANCTIONED ACCORDINGLY.
2- What Y/you see here; What Y/you hear here; What Y/you do here;
    What Y/you say here; When Y/you leave here--It stays here.

    of the Guild" reflects upon U/us ALL. Always attempt to follow the

    encouraged to wear their Collars at the Clubhouse.

    BOTTOMS.


SPECIFIC PROTOCOLS:
1 - Courtesy towards Dominants  - Dominants (whether they be Dom/mes,
    Masters and/or Tops) shall be granted Basic Courtesy by ALL submissives,
    slaves and/or bottoms. There will be no telling ANY Dominant to `f*** off' here (unless

ASSUME ANYTHING IN THIS CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  a) Before attempting to touch, hug, and/or kiss, ANY submissive,
      slave, and/or bottom, even if they have been life-long friends
      from other Clubs, or prior contacts, make the effort to
      determine whether or not physical contact is proscribed, for
      him and/or her, at THIS SPECIFIC PLACE and at THIS SPECIFIC
     TIME, by Another...
     (YOU MAY BE VIOLATING SOMEONE'S PROTOCOLS AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT!!)

  b) The ONLY WAY TO BE SURE is to "ASK FIRST"; better to BE SAFE
      RATHER THAN SORRY, AND/OR BE EMBARRASSED AND ASKED TO LEAVE THE
      PREMISES.

  c) Don't assume ANY submissive, slave and/or bottom must cater to
      You. Some submissives, slaves and/or bottoms love to serve and
      if asked properly, would gladly comply. Other submissives,
      slaves and/or bottoms DO NOT...Again, ASK FIRST and You will
      have a pleasant evening.

4- DECLINATION:
    Any unattached submissive, slave, and/or bottom has every right to

CONCLUSION:

     Let it be known that this Club is a place where ALL KINKSTERS MAY PRACTICE
  THEIR INDIVIDUAL KINKS WITHOUT SCORN AND/OR RIDICULE FROM ANY ONE
  "SUBSET" OF THE BDSM COMMUNITY.

      Each of U/us has specific preferences of how W/we BELIEVE "BDSM
  should be practiced".

     Y/you may not like the way a specific group practices "THEIR BDSM";
  and likewise, "THEIR BDSM" may not like the way Y/you practice
  "YOUR BDSM".

     However, within the confines of this Club, NO ONE IS ASKING YOU TO
   "LIKE" A SPECIFIC METHODOLOGY OF PRACTICAL BDSM APPLICATION,
    BUT YOU, NONETHELESS, SHALL "RESPECT" EACH OTHER PRACTICES.

    If You, as a Top, Dominant, Master, submissive, bottom, or slave can
  abide by these simple rules of Basic Courtesy to O/others then Y/you
  are indeed Welcome...

     If Y/you feel that these simple rules of Basic Courtesy are
  either too Onerous and/or Burdensome, then perhaps
  Y/you should reconsider Y/your commitment to The Guild.

     These are the rules W/we've decided to adopt to make U/us a
   better group and W/we won't tolerate anything less...
