These rules are subject to change and improve in due time.
General rules
1. Please respect others during meets. Violence and disrespectable behavior will not be tolerated, and you will be asked to leave.
2. Unless allowed to, no roughhousing during meets. This means no wrestling or throwing each other on the floor. Remember, when we are allowed to be in an area, it is "allowed" and we wouldn't want to break anything. Please ask one of the hosts in advance if you can fool around in that manner.
3. Hugging, snuggling, and light kissing are allowed. Groping and "other things" are not. Please refrain from doing these. If you manage to do it without being seen, well, good job, but you will stop if you are being asked to stop. In addition, if a meet is hosted in a location that is not someone's home, such as a bowling alley, mall, etc., please behave yourself. It can wait until later.
4. Leave your drama out the door, please. Do not come into meets with it. Be an adult and deal with it maturely. Venting to fellow furries is allowed, but we don't want an all out war in meets unless you are willing to reconcile with each other.
5. Remember that carpooling is a privilege, not something to be abused. Be respectful and understanding when someone can't take you. In addition, it will help if you donate a little money for gas since prices are high. Please, if you have money to spare, don't forget to compensate the driver a minimum of $5 for at least helping you out. This is optional, but it is appreciated, especially if some travel far to get you.
6. Use common sense. (Do I really need to explain this?)
7. Lastly, please respect the admins and mods of this group as they are the ones who make this possible for you. If there are any questions or concerns, please ask and we will address them.
Skype group rules
1. Please try to keep all talk of what you furs do together in private on the down low. Many don’t really care what others do behind closed doors, and this helps prevent jealousy and rumors from spreading. You will be asked to stop via private IM. If you disobey this, we have the right to remove you from the group for a set amount of time.
2. Please respect each other as you would respect yourself. Intolerance will not be taken lightly. This group environment is meant to be welcome and friendly. If you have an issue with another member, please consult
CirrusSkyDragon.
3. Please do not bring drama from the previous meets into the group, unless you believe it can be resolved reasonably between members. We do not want any members to purposely bring their issues with other members in order to cause problems. Please handle it privately or ignore each other’s existence…it’s not that hard. Failure to do so will result in punishment for one or both parties.
4. Furmeet suggestions and concerns should be respected. Remember, all furmeets are designed for your enjoyment. If someone has a concern or a suggestion but you disagree, please do so in a non-rude manner. We know some of you furs can get very emotional and headstrong with your opinions, but there are many better words to use than insults. In addition, please respect the furmeet host’s home and event suggestions because what they do is to benefit you and your enjoyment. If you have any meet suggestions, please contact
CirrusSkyDragon and we will discuss it.
5. Can not stress this enough, please respect everyone's opinion unless it's purposely forcing you, or someone into anything. If you don't like it, please try to ignore it or ask to stop. There are better ways to handle things.
6. Do not spam the chat, you will be banned.
