The following information is useful whether you intened to post
to SSB or just read it. If you do intend to post, please read the
charter at
http://www.mindspring.com/~frites/charter.htm
or
http://www.phszx81.demon.co.uk/charter.html
The charter isn't long or difficult. The most important part
is that it prohibits personal or commercial ads in the
newsgroup.
There are a number of FAQs relevant to SSB. They get posted to
newsgroups on various schedules. They can also be found on
Web pages.
*THE* FAQ is the SSB FAQ. This FAQ contains lots of good
information about what BDSM is, how it's practiced, and what safety
precautions to take. It's available and most up-to-date at the
author's own website:
http://www.unrealities.com/adult/ssbb/faq.htm
It's composed of many web pages so, if you'd prefer to read it
offline, the regularly-updated text version (all 200K of it) is at
http://www.magenta.com/~spectrum/faqssb.txt
A less-often-updated version is available via ftp from
rtfm.mit.edu directory /pub/faqs/soc-subculture/bondage-faq/
The FAQ is also scheduled to be posted to SSB on the first and the
fifteenth day of each month.
The "Welcome to Alt.Sex.Bondage" is a valuable document about
posting to the SSB newsgroup. Though written for ASB, it applies
almost verbatim to SSB. It can be found at:
http://www.mindspring.com/~frites/wel.htm
If you wish to reply to a post, here's some guidelines on
what and how to quote:
http://www.mindspring.com/~frites/repl.htm
The SSB charter prohibits personal ads in this newsgroup. There
are many locations where personal ads are acceptable. See
http://www.mindspring.com/~frites/pers.htm
for a list of newsgroups and web pages where you can place your ad.
Whether you post or not, it can be helpful to have a copy of the
SSB acronym list. It can help you figure out what's being talked
about when various abbreviations and acronyms are in use. It's at
http://www.mindspring.com/~frites/abbr.txt
The SSB Diplomatic Corps (SSB DC) web page is at
http://www.planetarydefense.org/dipcorps/
General netiquette guidelines are contained in RFC 1855. This is
available, among other places, at
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html
If you're planning to mung your Email address to prevent spam,
http://members.aol.com/emailfaq/mungfaq.html provides good
advice on the right way to do it.
One common question is, "where can I host adult web sites?"
http://www.madylarian.com/adulthosts.htm
contains a list of both free and pay locations that are
considered adult/kink friendly.
There are a number of web sites that list group and munch
information by geographical area. One of them is
http://www.bdsm-education.com/munch.html
Finally, for those looking for medical/theraputic/law professional
help, the Kink Aware Professionals Referrals list can be found at
http://www.bannon.com/kap
