Flirting and heavy "petting" or "lapping" is permitted. Open scening is discouraged. Please move to an "alcove" (-alc) if you wish to engage in overtly sexual scenes.
-----
Free Persons' PM's (private messages) are permitted without permission. We do ask that you not harass a slave who is in service. however.
-----
If you are unfamiliar with Gor (Free or slave), please mark your nickname with an "-obs" at the end and we will be happy to help you learn.
-----
Slaves need NOT beg to enter, or to return from an absence. Slaves *DO* need to beg permission to step away (afk), or leave. If there is an emergency, mark your nick "911", and explain when you return.
-----
Everyone should greet upon entry. Slaves, greet male Ops, female Ops, male guests, and female guests IN THAT ORDER. If you are not sure if They are male or female, check /whois . If you guess, guess MASTER. Greet slaves last.
-----
Slaves need not beg to speak, greet or approach the Free. Unless a slave is occupied with serving his/her Owner, they will see that all Free have been offered service before they participate in chat. However, slaves never PM a Free Person without permission, except an Op on valid channel business.
-----
Offer service IN THIS ORDER: male guests, female guests, male Ops, female Ops. If you are not sure whom to approach, ask another slave in pm. If no other slave is available to help, you may pm an Op without permission.

Kassau is in the North, where bondmaids frequently converse while serving. It is a less formal experience than is normally found in other regions of Gor. It is not *required* that the slaves of the Serpents' Temptation focus all their attention on the Free Person they are serving, unless they are specifically instructed that way by the Free Person IN ADVANCE. If you prefer this type of service, please instruct the slaves accordingly.
-----
Slaves are under the discipline of the Free, and light infractions can be handled by Free guests, but anything other than that should be handled by an Op. However, we do request that REASONABLE discretion be exercised. Permissible punishments include the following:
If there is an issue, please notify the admin of this Site, preferably with a copy of the log of the incident, so all necessary steps may be taken.
"One did not have the right, for example, to kill or maim the slave of another, any more than any other domestic animal which might belong to someone else. In this sense the slave is accorded some protection from free persons who do not own her in virtue of certain general considerations of property law." (Magicians of Gor, p.330)
-----
Free and slave alike are asked to please keep personal dislikes and petty arguments PRIVATE. If that is impossible, pm an Op. OPS HAVE FINAL SAY.

Slaves, if anything in this list seriously counters orders from your owner, please discuss with an Op in private.
