Welcome to the Gorean Living chat room entrance.
Please read this entire page before chatting in the room/channel! Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.
This room is for discussion of bringing the philosophies found in John Norman's Gor series into real life and living according to the vaules, tenets, ideals, values, etc., contained therein. You need not be Gorean to visit, as long as you are respectful of our values.
It is recommended that if you are serious about learning about Gorean philosophy, you obtain and read the books. All of them. They are available through this website, as well as eBay, Half.com, Amazon and used bookstores if you get lucky. Now on to the list of rules: • This channel is not a meat market, slave market, or pickup room. Don't treat it like one. • Do not PM without asking in room first. • Please give new folks a chance to read through the rules before getting on them for not greeting or replying. They are following the rules by not posting until they have done so. • Nicks with a + before them denotes slave. If you are voiced (have the +), expect to be treated as such. Lowercase nicks are automatically voiced. Capitalised nicks are automatically de-voiced (no +). If your nick displays incorrectly for your status, type !free or !slave, accordingly, on a line by itself in the room. That should fix it. If one is a "sub", rather than a slave, and does not wish to identify here as a slave and be held to slave rules, they are to type !free, so as to distinguish themselves as not slave. Those wishing to be treated as free are expected to comport themselves as such. • No one is required to lowercase proper nouns here. There will be no nitpicking of any kind regarding upper/lowercase nicks based on status or anything else. That said, it IS good for people to know that many other chat rooms do have rules requiring such, and passing along that information is fine, so long as it isn't being used as an attempt to coerce someone into changing it here. More on that here, and here • No one has to "Karta". It's not even a real Gorean position, and this isn't a RP channel anyway. If they're typing in the channel, they've already "entered". Slaves should beg to join the conversation if one is in progress, and also to be excused/afk. • Do not T/type L/like T/this A/as I/it I/is V/very A/annoying A/and H/hard T/to R/read !/!, or use made up online "Gorean" languages here. It's not Gorean. At all. And it greatly annoys the room owner. Click here for another Gorean's thoughts on this, and related items. • Be respectful of others and behave according to your station. Gentlemen, please at least be civil unless given cause to be otherwise. Ladies, just because the books say FW can act like emasculating harridans with impunity doesn't mean it is welcome or proper. It certainly isn't tolerated here! Slaves, don't even go there! • This is not a RP room. The outright prohibiting of all RP has been lifted, however, no forms of RP are required or encouraged. The best way to serve the free in an online venue is to be respectful, deferential, helpful and courteous, whilst providing engaging and pleasing conversation - not pretending to "bring" them imaginary food and beverages and such. • While the free do not owe anything to slaves, and have the right to correct them as they see fit, unwarranted rudeness or harassment is prohibited. • Slaves are NEVER required to give out their personal information (real name, location, phone number, email, IM, etc.) and are strongly advised to avoid doing so. Anyone who attempts to force a slave to give out personal information, will be immediately and permenantly banned! • Non-Goreans are welcome here. Anti-Gorean statements are not. If you don't like Goreans or Gorean conduct, stay out of Gorean chat rooms. Simple enough. • Debate is welcome as long as it remains polite and civil. • This is a public chat room, meaning it is open to the public, so if you want to have a private conversation, take it to a private venue. Any conversations happening in the GL chat room are fair game for the free to chime in at will. • Slaves are welcome and encouraged to take part in topical discussions, unless the free present have deemed it free only, so long as they have asked to join any discussion already in progress. • If no mods are present, any free person may attempt to enforce the rules and tell someone to leave if needed. Please remember that logs are being recorded and anyone abusing this privilege is risking being kicked/banned. • Enjoy your stay. (Okay..So that's not really a rule..You can hate it if you like) And, as stated in most of the other Gor related rooms, the rules are the rules. If you can't or won't abide by them, find a different room. It just so happens that most of the rules here are not "Gorean" rules. That's because, again..This room is for the DISCUSSION of Gor! Not acting it out. **NOTE TO SUBMISSIVES AND THOSE WISHING TO BE SLAVES** Although the generally accepted Gorean protocol is not required of unowned "submissives" in this room, it would be wise to remember that your words, tone and manner of address will be noted by the free and will affect how you are viewed by many. If you aren't sure what is appropriate, PLEASE ASK! This is a place for learning in a safe environment and others will surely be happy to answer your questions. You are encouraged to also read the slave rules to gain a better understanding of how submissives may be more pleasing to the free.
This page will continue to be updated as new issues are identified. Please check back regularly. To be notified when changes are made to this page, click here. By entering the chat room, you are stating that you have read and agree to abide by the rules on this page.
