if you are a sub and are looking for a dom's collar i can offer you one. Yet know it will be for the sole purpose of letting others know you are no looking for their attention while you grow and learn what you it is you seek.
whilst your intention is almost certainly honorable this sounds too much like a "collaring of convenience" for me. One may argue 'what's love got to do with it' but, call me old fashioned if you will, i prefer love and compatibility to be criteria for a collar. If not then Doms may as well presign blocks ownership certificates, hand them out at the entrance door and say sign on the dotted line. i can see where you would get that impression, and to be honest you understood my intentions completely. It is a collar for convince. For the new sub who gets hounded in the chat room because she is uncollared it can be a safe haven of sorts until she or he decides what it is they want. You as a Dom surely respect a sub who has {xxx} after their name. I doubt you would stoop so low as to try and private chat a sub or start something with one whom you knew to be owned. The on line collaring is a stop sign for most doms, they know that sub is off limits for the most part.
it is that first dom the new sub meets that will mold her and shape her into who she is to become.
this is more than collaring for protection this moulding newbies into your vision of what a submissive should be. I have no doubt there is nothing wrong with your vision but this is a svengali approach where everyone off the production line may end up as a stepford wife. I'm sure you see the drawbacks to this approach of protecting subs. this time you misunderstood my intentions. I am not teaching these subs, nor would i. It would go against what i want, that is for them to be able to log in, read the forums, participate in the chat room without having to worry about being hounded with unwanted solicitations or offers.
i express my views with the utmost of respect, i am merely highlighting a possible cause for concern with your solution to a commonly accepted problem.
