1) Generally, you are present as “life guard” on the scene, not a voyeur.
2) Avoid unnecessary conversations, which can distract you from your primary responsibility being the safety of the players and the environment.
3) Be supportive and helpful. For example, if a Top is searching for a condom, you can find one in the supplies section and quietly provide one.
4) Do not walk between a Top and bottom or interfere with a BDSM relationship. 3 5) Use discretion and avoid interrupting an event if something is not traumatic or life threatening. At the same time, do not hesitate to call 911 if there is an emergency.
6) Don’t interrupt scenes except in an emergency and you intend to stop it. Don’t interrupt to ask questions or to see if “everything is okay”. Comments such as “I’ll have to stop your scene because you’re having too much fun” are inappropriate.
Dungeon Rules
Always read the posted dungeon rules and know them well enough so that you can determine if someone is not following them. The following are suggested if you become aware that a player or an observer is not following the rules:
*Advise the player or observer diplomatically that a rule is not being followed. Clearly specify the rule in consideration.
*Thank the person for their cooperation.
*If someone continues activities against the rules, give a second warning. If the offender seems to be mean or ornery, get assistance. Explain the choice is available to follow the rule or to leave.
*If there are more serious infractions such as abusing alcohol or drugs, get support from another DM. Politely but firmly escort the person away from the dungeon to the outside.
*Latex Barriers may not be disregarded, particularly if someone knows another player intimately. Even if players are married, the latex barrier must be observed because others may not know of this relationship and presume that we do not enforce the rule.
*Food is generally kept in a social area and not taken into the play space except if it is being used in the scene. Remember to select wisely the foods used in a scene because even aromas can effect those around you. Should food spill in the play space, make sure it is cleaned up by those who spilled it.
*Beverages are generally allowed in play space to remain hydrated during a scene. Should beverages spill in the play space, make sure it is cleaned up by those who spilled it.
*Observers are required to speak more softly during play time. There should be clear understanding of where observers are allowed to socialize and where they are allowed to be for watching play.
