JC Might I suggest that it's easier to read your comments when they are separated from the quote box. The emoticons don't add depth nor do they impart any serious intent other than to fill in gaps and pages JRC 13 Aug 08, 11:39 AM anjuli UK, 18 mths MasterJRC wrote: JC Might I suggest that it's easier to read your comments when they are separated from the quote box. And just to enlighten those who need it... please look away if this is teaching granny to suck eggs for you! ... All you have to do to do that is to type BELOW the bit where you see /quote enclosed in these [ ]. And incidentally, it's also not necessary to repost the whole of someone's thread each time you reply - just highlight, right click and cut the rest, leaving the bit you're replying to - and mark it snipped if you want. To just help anyone who's not sure, that's the code - just like bold is a b enclosed in square brackets [ b ] and the end code is /b enclosed in square brackets [ /b ] - without the spaces of course [ quote = name ] blah blah blah [ /quote ] - will create a quote box for the poster named... and [ quote ] yadder yadder yadder [ /quote ] - will give you a plain quote box like this to highlight something you want to say. So that's also how you quote people in multiple sections. By adding [ quote = MasterJRC ] [ /quote ] (again without the gaps to make it actually work) I can put the rest of his post down here.

You don't need to create a new profile to change your name under Your Settings and Change/Add Names. It's a bit late now but having two profiles is not really the done thing either. I'm sure there are other things but we've got a good little collection so far huh? And just to reiterate, this is not a digging at people session, it's good to revisit and highlight these things now particularly when we have a large new intake as we have done over recent weeks and months so please don't take offence anyone. Any others, anyone? anjuli ~~~ “I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin ~~~ Edited 13 Aug 08, 11:40 AM by anjuli 13 Aug 08, 5:23 PM Mistress_Tiara UK, 2 yrs An attempt to remember that debate & discourse are the key to exploring topics & developing understanding, and not personal attacks is always appreciated. I would also suggest that adhering to the boards definitions is an essential tool in aiding discussion. Even if it is not an opinion or definition we personally share, it allows others to understand us and stops threads getting hijacked by endless attempts to define meaning and arguments over definition. When a definition has been provided to aid discourse we make our own lives hard if we all speak different 'languages' unnecessarily. *~*Mistress Tiara*~* 14 Aug 08, 2:16 PM Mistress_Tiara UK, 2 yrs It is impolite to refer to others here as names other than their screen names or the name they sign with. For example, it is not polite to refer to submissives you do not own as 'slave'. I could call tangie, 'tangie' or 'Barbara' for example but it would be discourteous to address her as 'slave' (I would also look something of a fool if I did so). *~*Mistress Tiara*~* 14 Aug 08, 2:26 PM anjuli UK, 18 mths Okay I've stopped frothing at the mouth on that one now MT. <grins> and I mean to keep it that way. And in the interests of keeping this thread a constructive and friendly guide can anyone tell me if there a part of the world out there that I clearly don't know about, where this form of address is normal or considered proper behaviour so leading to misunderstandings here? anjuli ~~~ “I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin ~~~ Edited 14 Aug 08, 3:04 PM by anjuli 14 Aug 08, 4:49 PM Mistress_Tiara UK, 2 yrs Perhaps in role playing games? *~*Mistress Tiara*~* 14 Aug 08, 6:05 PM Ms_Valentine 8 mths Mistress_Tiara wrote: Perhaps in role playing games? Maybe in the World of the (over-heated) Imagination? 17 Aug 08, 3:07 PM anjuli UK, 18 mths I have to drag this one to the top of the boards again because it appears to be needed! Please people, it's not acceptable to refer to other people as IT or slave when they are not yours to address as such!!! I have to say it reflects badly on those who do it. In my own experience of those I know are Owners in real life, they are notable for their manners amongst other fine characteristics. And for me this has been a broad but surprisingly reliable indicator of good dominants in general. Manners maketh the man. And do you ever need to be one to carry the burden of responsibility for another human being. anjuli ~~~ “I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin ~~~ 4 Sep 08, 9:43 PM Mistress_Tiara UK, 2 yrs Re-animating very old threads for no particular reason clogs the board up. To give a current example; a thread which started & completed in Jul 2006 has just been reanimated two years and two months on. Why? The person who has reanimated this (generic, non specific) topic has given an equally generic response to the OP, who incidentally has not posted or logged on since starting the topic in 2006. I find it bemusing. When it is an area of very specific interest, I can see why it may happen to a degree, but re-animating a thread to answer the something-and-nothing question of someone who last logged on 775 days ago seems pointless. *~*Mistress Tiara*~* Next page
