| By posting on our Message Board, you have agreed to these terms, therefore you might want to become familiar with them. Welcome to our message board! It is provided for you to share tips, make suggestions, talk about experiences, ask questions, post reports or reviews, and generally get the most out of a visit to Amsterdam or the RLD. Our board may be monitored by at least one moderator. Our moderators are residents or frequent travelers to Holland. If they cannot answer your question, they will be happy to try to direct you to someone who can provide a better answer. But more often than not, one of our readers will gladly answer your question. Privacy Policy Our privacy policy is quite simple. Under no circumstances will your email address or user info be given out or sold, to anyone, for any reason. Be aware that certain unethical organizations employ web bots or spiders to crawl the web and "harvest" publicly available email addresses without the authorization of or knowledge of the sites they crawl. We take steps to discourage this, but certain malicious organizations may choose to ignore these instructions. Posting your email address on the Message Board, is at your own discretion. We advise that you use an easily disposable throw away address reserved for public viewing. Age of Consent The age of consent to visit a prostitute in the Netherlands is 18. We require that active participants of this website be of that age, or whatever the legal age of consent is your country of residence as defined by its laws, but you must respect the laws as they exist in the Netherlands. Those who live in jurisdictions where the viewing of information of this type is barred by law, we pity you. Supporting Member Donations Supporting member donations are the lifeblood of this site. Due to the logistics involved and the cost to us -- all payment processors take their cut before the payment reaches us -- donations should be considered nonrefundable. Posting Guidelines New Visitors The features that comprise the site are here for your benefit, please utilize them before asking questions. If you want to know about a restaurant, hotel, or a particular club, etc., please brief yourself first by visiting the appropriate page, given in the links to your left. Then read the prior postings on the current board. And important: Try the searchable archive as a lot of info is available there. If you're still not satisfied this is the sensible time to post a question. If you as a new member follow the above guideline to get to know the site, you will be able to ask more knowledgeable questions. Showing this respect to the existing members, the likelihood of getting support is of course much higher. Furthermore you will also be assisting us in keeping the board interesting to our old members. Please note that it is as important to us to provide old members with a good place for discussions, as it is to provide new visitors a forum to ask questions. If you have a problem conversing about the opposite sex in a polite and respectful manner then this site is not the place for you. Old Members Be kind to new visitors, even if they ask a question that has been asked 1000 times, even if the info is available on the site. Answer the question before you in a respectful way, at the least refer to where the answer can be found. Or simply ignore the question. The choice is yours. Do not bite anyone's head off. Please help us with this so that new members become old members like yourself. Off-topic posts The prime scope of this site is Amsterdam (and Holland). Amsterdam as a tourist city, living in Amsterdam, the Red Light Districts, the Sex clubs, Holland in general, coffeeshops, etc. We prefer to keep the site focused on Amsterdam and Holland and to remain top quality. Within that limitation, we have no further limitations on scope, apart from what is said in these posting guidelines. Off-topic and Other Places posts will be allowed subject to the discretion of the moderators. We recommend that you send us an email and ask for permission before you make an off topic post. URL's Referrals to other sites will be allowed at our discretion. New members may not post URL's until a predetermioned number of legitimate posts have been made by the member. This has been introduced to prevent our forums from being used to post spam. Post Intelligently Interesting, insightful, thought provoking posts and comments are worth their weight in gold. Be a valuable contributor and participant to this Message Board, be considerate of everyone's time. Troll Posts These consist of such wonders to behold as " I want sex!". These contribute nothing to the discussions and are of interest to no one. They will be removed. Advertising & Spam Absolutely prohibited: No exceptions. No means no. Failure to respect this results in banning from the entire site. Posting Names Please select a posting name that isn't stupid, immature, malicious, sophomoric, or a dirty double entendre. A name you wouldn't be embarrassed to be known by in real life will do nicely. Offenders will be removed at the discretion of the moderators. Illegal activities Activities involving minors, smuggling, hard drug use, etc., are not acceptable topics for this forum, and will be removed. Likewise, activities such as zoophilism, while technically not illegal in Holland, are activities which civilized societies really shouldn't have need to prohibit because no civilized person would engage in such acts. The Netherlands is a civilized society, it is unique in possessing enlightened and sane laws and attitudes towards activities between consenting adults and soft drug use, and postings made on this board shall be confined to activities between consenting adults. If you have a problem with this requirement, please seek psychiatric counseling and if that fails, please consider suicide. Concerning reviews and reports of the women Be respectful of the women. We strongly suggest that you do not publicly reveal the full name and or exact location of a particular woman, without prior permission from the woman in question. We will assume that any name mentioned has been approved by the woman beforehand. As an alternative we suggest that you use an abbreviation of the first name, and a more generalized description of location; "A" on Trompettersteeg, for example. Although many women do not mind being mentioned on this board, many other women have expressed concerns for their safety and privacy. Please respect their feelings about this. Reveal this information privately through email, but only to someone you're quite sure you can trust. Our "Device" requires the inclusion of names and other details, we feel that if the profession of prostitution wishes to be regarded as any other service business activity, then reviews and listings are appropriate. Flaming If you disagree with something which a board user has said or done, you are more than welcome to state that you disagree, but nobody likes being called "stupid" or an "idiot" because they don't hold the same opinions as someone else. These postings will be removed, as will any posting which refers to your fellow board users in a derogatory manner. Please respect this. Language Please refrain from the use of needlessly vulgar language, harassment of other users, racial or ethnic slurs, sexism, or slander. Please do not publicly re-post private email without the express written permission of the email's original sender. Please do not post personal addresses or phone numbers which are not your own. Please wait at least 30 minutes after eating before you go into the water, or you’ll get cramps and sink like a stone (Didn’t your mother ever tell you that?!) Language Pt 2 Please DO NOT use coarse or explicit language in the titles of your posts. You can say pretty much anything else you like, in the text of your post, as long as it adheres to the standards. General Disruption Being a general pain in the arse disrupts the smooth operation of the forums---a place to find a share information---being a persistant pain in the arse will get the offender kicked. In other words: Don't be a jackass or we'll deprive ourselves of your company. The Broken Window Theory The posting policies of this site are intentionally based on the "Broken Window" theory: When one window in an empty building is broken, it should be repaired immediately. If not, more windows will be smashed and the building will soon be turned into a ruin. In other words, it is important to deal with minor undesirable behaviour to keep it from going from bad to worse. This has been the single biggest factor in our continued success as a meaningful forum.
