    So nobody is allowed opinion now. Yes indeed some are more equal then others.

    Last post, goodbye.

    Very well said. Sometimes it's hard to believe that some of the so called subs are actually submissive at all. Personally, I feel that there should be a KEYHOLDER forum where conversations could held without some whining male sub feeling the need to jump in.

    Oh no Wends - the ground has shifted on that one - we will see them, but not be allowed to post on them. Heavens knows what the penalty might be if one transgresses and posts by mistake.

    I am sure someone will appoint themselves as the arbiter of who can and can not make posts on this area that has been asked for on a number of occasions - but not instigated.

    I did ask for some good reasons why there should be one - but none have been forthcoming.

    WOW! A HOT TOPIC.

    No need for anyone to get their nickers in a knot, I wanted a debate but clearly that is not possible on this topic.


    Just clear up what I was suggesting.

    YES, Restricted did mean Invisible to those NOT in the group.

    WHY? Because I want to gather all the Subs, Sissys, CDs together to plot the downfall of the Doms.
    Its about time we rose against the tyranny of the overlords and threw off our Panties and CBs.


    Heheheheheehehe .....Its a JOKE.

    And there was me wondering why I don't post much anymore.
    Good job guys - way to engender debate and content generation.

    I'm not agreeing one way or the other on this post - apart from with the Admin.

    People are obviously afraid of something though, otherwise why attack it?
    Can I ask, what do you think you are going to lose? What is the purpose of all the attacking posts?

    Interesting? Fucking bizarre if you ask me.

    I'm waiting to hear what people are so scared of losing?

    The suggestion was that the site gains something, Que. the sound of toys leaving prams.

    Now, without resorting to ridicule, belittling or any other petty device, please tell us why you feel this a bad idea. If you can't do that then we must assume there is no substantive objection.

    Language Verity! :p

    There has been no effective argument in favour either. Other than the unsubstantiated comment of “conversations could held without some whining male sub feeling the need to jump in.” and “a wee space to discuss without the men elbowing in and replying to even the most obviously female specific postings and threads.”

    Some examples of such instances would be interesting to see. One can’t remember all that has gone on here

    It did start off suggesting a Private, Members Only Club - I don’t see how a secret hidden area is a benefit to all the members – or a site enhancement.

    Running through this thread have been a few reasons against given:

    as someone who is very keen on a fully inclusive society with no silo mentally I can (not) support this idea .
    One wonders what you think needs to be hidden behind what .

    What should we do? Keep fixing it until its broke?

    It all smacks of division and playground stuff with secret societies whispering in the corner.

    If you go down the road of private by invitation only forum them it 's going down the road of elitism. - We are all equal, but some want to be more equal them others


    And the last member quoted indicated that he was not coming back as it seems the “management” don’t like free thought amongst subs – even when he tries to compliment the site

    A Female/KH Only Posting section, visible to all is also being suggested, and that it had been asked for for a long time with no success.

    I have no objection to an open to view Female/KH section.

    I know that the only female poster here, so far, has a desire to encourage more lady members on the site and if such a section encourages and helps the situation – give it a try.

    We can then watch it either flourish or wither on the vine.

    Why does something have to be "a benefit to all the members"? I still don't understand all these objections. In the wider world there are probably plenty of people who would hate a website about chastity, yet here we are, and the world goes on just the same. Scale it down, and what is so bad about this idea? Why is it essential for every member to see and participate in every single thing? Ultimately, why does it affect someone if they can't participate - is it not possible to accept that something is private and they're simply not invited? And from a sub-ish point of view (rather lacking here lately) aren't there supposed to be privileges to being a Mistress here???

    Errr No - never has been anything like privileges for being a Mistress on this site. Just by putting the word Mistress in front of a name or proclaiming that you are one does not get privileges. Ladies earn respect for their contribution or wit or whatever.

    Being a sub does not involve a lobotomy - we do retain the ability to have an opinion and express it as equals with other members, be they males, females, dommes or subs.

    To me that position is fundamentally in conflict with the whole submissive mindset! Surely respect should be given to everyone, and particularly those to whom you feel submissive, unless there is cause for that respect to be withdrawn? This whole episode seems to be highlighting just how few submissive members here really are just that...

    To be fair surely the easiest thing is for all those that seem to want to have a seperate area where only a selected few may venture (rules yet to be chosen)by whoever decides these things is for them to go set up their own website with their own rules and their own choice of who can and cannot join. This site has been run perfectly acceptably to the majority of members who were invited to join it for many years and now all of a sudden a few people have decided things need altering? why? the beauty of this site was always the fact that it was a sharing place of ideas and thoughts. Come on whoever is behind the ideas just pop off and set up your own website filled with agreeable types (obviously i wont be included in it) but hey ho!. Leave the Mansion as it was intended.

    If what is being asked for is a Keyholder section for keyholders to post in exclusively then I have no objections and think that should be allowed to happen.

    There is nothing to stop us from also having a Keys-held section for those that are locked to post in exclusively. In the name of balance then I think both should be a welcome addition to the website.

    Would that work? Could we each respect each other without sabotaging each others threads?

    I think it could work.

    There is ample evidence that subs are by their very nature very strong minded people . They have to be able and comfortable with themselves to be able to give control to the dominant partner.

    Then we come to how are you going to define gender .
    So only 100%female or 100% male . In just a few months my blood tests will look identical to any genetic female. However no body is 100% one or the other.

    Please define dom or sub and how about switches . Either past present or future ?
    This is beginning to sound like a rant which it was not supposed to be .

    However I am with the don't fix it if itsnot broken. What is wrong with just keeping every forum open so that any one can drop by have a read and feel comfortable doing so.
    You can never tell if any thread is going to be interesting and or a runner.

    To start a thread like this was allways going to be a light the blue touch paper jobbie . But so what makes life fun .

    Just take a few deep breaths and step back from the thread if you are not happy.

    Furthermore I mantain that on a forum with particularly complex personalities ,do everything in the most transparent way possible . I see nothing to be gained by making bits suposidly secret, that any half wit can gain access to by just generating a separate profile, thus a pointless excersise.
