Where have the good Doms gone?

[MacGuffin]

Godfather

I thank you for the clarification but still have reservations about the collar-of-convenience concept. Even assuming romance is no longer to be a basis for a collar it is a form of vigilanteism where an individual seeks to offer an alternative outside of the system and can result in a situation like in Godfather movie where the undertaker turns to the Don Corleone instead of the police for justice. If the subbie is being "hounded" what should she do, turn to a moderator or turn to the Godfather? And if collars-of-convenience are a solution then perhaps Torq should offer collars or the sub can use a fictional collar like subbie{xyz}.

This solution could also, in my opinion, work against the sub finding a dom. What's the point in subs standing naked in front of the mirror examing their body hair when, as you say, no Dom is going to stoop so low as to start anything with one of your collared subs. Certainly not me or any good dom but I'm not so sure the bad doms have qualms about stooping.

For your information I have never initiated a whisper or even chatted in private for fear of being seen as a troll. And I avoid chatting with unattached subs because I know that any second a Dom will enter and within seconds request a pm with the sub I am talking to. The subbie will accept and immediately disappear leaving me mid sentence. It baffles me how subs consider it impolite to refuse a pm request from somebody who just come in but not impolite to abruptly walk away mid-stream from sombody they've are chatting with.

I apologise to everybody for going off topic and will drop the subject. Looks like when I go in the lobby and see a room full of subbies with {Godfather}in their nick I'll have to ask "Is that a collar of convenience you're wearing or a real collar? "

I apologise to everybody for going off topic and will drop the subject. Looks like when I go in the lobby and see a room full of subbies with {Godfather}in their nick I'll have to ask "Is that a collar of convenience you're wearing or a real collar? "

I think the real question is, why would you care? If they are collared it shouldn't matter. As you yourself have said you would not stoop to that level knowing a sub is collared. So I would ask, why is it a problem if the sub requests it? Certainly it is their choice, their right. Knowing they would do so of their own free will it strikes me as odd that you would oppose it. Then again I offer nothing but shelter, allowing them a safe haven as they watch, listen, read and learn. Perhaps you have a better idea? If so please share it with us. For now, I will make my posts, rattle a few bars and cages and make some aware of a problem as I see it.

We both seem to want the same thing. The ability of new subs to be able to enjoy the site without having to deal with all that can go on. I have offered a few posts, a suggestion and yet at each turn you seem to enjoy playing devils advocate looking for bad intentions where none were meant. Comparing me to a ganster whom did bad or evil things simply because I took on the name Godfather. I heard a saying once. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Which one are you?
