House-slaves wear the House-collar that is set to the group and HAVE to serve the male members. They may consent to interactions with male guests too at their discretion but that is up to them. All female members must be collared. All are to be considered (and consider themselves) as slaves.
A set of admittance rules has now been established in order to better facillitate screening of potential HQ members as follows :
1. Anyone seeking to become a Gentleman or slave needs one HQ Gentleman as sponsor present at the meeting.
2. A simple majority is necessary with a minimum of two yes votes. If the vote does not pass, the application is rejected.
3. Any gentleman can veto a vote if he provides a sufficient explanation, the admission is put on hold until further discussed.
4. Any gentleman can vote while absent by putting a notecard into the mailbox at the entrance or sending it to any Gentleman attending.
Revocation of membership
Anyone failing to show up for 4 weeks without notice will loose his membership. A warning will be issued after 3 weeks. He or she may apply for membership again upon return.
A member found in violation of the rules of the HQ can lose membership. A majority vote of all members is necessary for this.
If a member is removed from membership status, or they decide to leave as a member, they will be expected to leave the HQ and will have both their membership and guest status removed.
Structural and tactical decisions for the HQ are undertaken by HQ Gentlemen members who all hold equal rights in these matters.
Such political participation is entirely voluntary.
Once a HQ Guest has been vetoed via a council decision and receives HQ Gentleman status; this tag can be bestowed on them by any other Gent with the same rank.
As much as necessary, as little as possible" was our goal.
Time will tell how well we managed to hit that mark. Sir Kasmodian
