1... NO MEANS NO!!! (period)

2...That we as a family ask each and everyone as a member of this family to apply these RULES as a member or guest of this family.

3...NEVER attempt to break up a friendship

4...Accept all family members and add them(guest are exempt).

5...Always keep the first meeting of a guest on a "no strings attached" basis, but be prepared to accept the new member if it is mutually agreeable or to give an honest answer if something doesn''t click.

6...Never, under any circumstances exert pressure on anyone to join SnS.

7...Restrict discussions of SnS to known members and interested persons seeking information.

8...Protect the anonymity of all guest by refraining from unauthorized "name dropping."

9...Do not break the RLC rules of conduct or engage in any unlawful or unacceptable activity that would discredit Silk and Sin as a group.

10...Be friendly and warm with your FAMILY, but understand that there is a type of emotional involvement, which is properly reserved for your GUEST or "primary significant guest."

11...Always show respect for the personal attitudes, feelings and "hang-ups" of any non SnS member in the RLC community.

12...Be open to invitations from other FAMILY members and do not be offended by an invitation or a denial.

13...Always respect the sanctity and defend the respectability of the FAMILY and its members.

14...Under no circumstance a member will be allowed to add changes to name without notification to council or family page(any changes to name without notification, to a group or other family is imeddiate grounds for dismissal).

15. Any member who is found to be contravening any rules will be subject to house discipline. The member has the right to seek an audience with the council and/or full membership to explain their side of the story and offer a defense. The council and/or membership can then discuss the member and take a vote on the correct course of action appropriate to the offence. This may include expulsion from the family. No member can be "fired on the spot" by anyone.

16. Although an unwritten rule, it has always been frowned upon 2 members of SnS having a relationship here on RLC. This is no longer to be the case. ALL members (including males) are free to have a relationship with whomever they choose to. This is to make SnS an open and friendly place to be. Any relationship problems between 2 members should be sorted out privately wherever possible, any member bringing the family into disrepute over a relationship that ends badly will be asked to leave the family.
