The Discussion Forum

The place for discussion and debate.

What is the purpose of The Discussion Forum?

The Forum is where THE CAGE Community comes together to discuss and debate a variety of BDSM related topics. There is also a "Just For Fun" section for games and other lighthearted material. Everyone is welcome to start a discussion and to comment. Unlike blog posts, you are not able to edit or remove your topic so double check before posting anything.

Although we appreciate diversity in our Forum, please remember that THE CAGE is a BDSM Community and not the right place for political debates or other topics that are not relevant to our focus.

Erotica, poetry, and similar forms of personal expression should be posted to your personal blog or in your profile.

What are the rules for The Discussion Forum?

We welcome debate, conversation, and dissent, but personal attacks against other users or our administrators, persistent trolling, and mindless abuse will not be tolerated.

We will not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of hate-speech, or contributions that could be interpreted as such. We recognize the difference between criticizing a particular practice, organization, community or belief and attacking people on the basis of their race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.

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.

Griefing, spamming, advertising, and other disruptive behaviours will not be tolerated.

If you would like to promote an event, please post it to our Events Calendar. Introductions should be posted to our Introduction Thread.

Can I edit or delete my Forum post?

You can edit your post within 15 minutes to quickly correct a typo or other error. After that, there is no option to edit or delete your Forum post. This is to keep conversation readable, fair, and coherent. Please double check your topic before posting.

If you would like to request your Forum topic be removed please contact support. Please note that we may decline to remove your topic if there is an established conversation with multiple comments from other users.

Can I use the Forum for research or to ask the community for input on my project?

The Discussion Forum and THE CAGE community in general are designed for community engagement and are not meant to be used for research or commercial purposes. Rather, the community is a space for sharing ideas and personal insights, fostering conversation and personal interaction.

Why has my Forum post been deleted?

Forum posts will be removed if they are not relevant to The Discussion Forum or violate our rules. Stories, erotica, poetry, and similar forms of personal expression will be removed as they belong in profiles or in your personal blog.

Event promotions and individual introduction threads will be removed. Event promotions should be posted to our Events Calendar. Introductions should be posted to our Introduction Thread.
