During these tumultuous times many of us have strong opinions about the state of the world and the political landscape in which we live. To date we've seen a very small amount of political content on THE CAGE. However even these have inspired some intense reactions. We've listened to your concerns and carefully considered what is appropriate for our community going forward. We've come to the conclusion that THE CAGE isn't the right place for political debate or opinion pieces, etc. THE CAGE is a BDSM focused community and we want to make sure it's a place for enjoyment, education, and kinky fun as well as a respite from the rest of your on and off line lives. So for those of you who've asked, here's where we are drawing the line about politics and THE CAGE:
-politics related to BDSM, sexual freedom, and LGBTQ rights are always relevant and welcomed.
-small political references regarding your daily life, the odd joke, etc., are not a problem.
-blog posts and forum topics that are exclusively political will be flagged and removed respectively.
We've amended our blogging rules to include the following:
"Please keep in mind we are a community focused on BDSM, kink, and sexual freedom. We consider political essays, opinion pieces, etc., to be "off topic" unless they relate to the above."
Thank you all for your understanding. Until next time!
