This is a Role Play based section so out of character (OOC) remarks be kept to a minimum or taken to private whisper on the pulldown list.
Explicit sexual role play is to be expected unless otherwise specified on the room entry.
Your conduct is expected to be that of a responsible adult.
No means no! Though it is discouraged, you can not be forced to do anything in this section you absolutely refuse to do. You may NOT be forced to role play with anyone even in this section called Gor. Everyone has their limits, and to a large degree they should be respected. This seldom is a matter of role playing according to the books. This comes down to being forced by ridicule, harassment, etc, to be forced to play against your will. If this is the case, politely decline the role play, and ignore the offender. Send a complaint to RAGNAR and the matter will be investigated. This does not mean that the complaint will be found justified. This IS Gor, but none will be forced to role play any situation, or with any chatter(s) that create an obstacle to enjoying Gor. In keeping with the books, sometimes bad things happen. Keep this in mind.

1st Amendment Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
If you notice it says Congress (Government) will make no laws, it says nothing about private companies. The courts have ruled the 1st Amendment does not apply to private companies, and companies have the right to regulate their content, and can be in some cases held liable if not done so. If you look down at the bottom of each page, it says copy righted by Webmaze, which means contents belonging and regulated by Webmaze, not the government. So Webmaze has the right regulate the content of the boards.
Complaints
If any chatter has a complaint against another chatter or mod, send your complaints to RAGNAR. All complaints will be investigated and answered.
All Mod's name will be in red and Staff Member's names will be in colors depicting their position. If you need the assistance of a mod in a room or you have a question go to the Users Online page and find a Mod or Staff Member in another room. If you need to contact a Mod, go to the contact page.
Hope you enjoy your time here at WEBMAZE.
