Talking about being LB/ASB online

 

This week I will devote a bit time about talking about some of the restrictions on content that apply to ASB.net and how they contrast to my own forum The Uniformed Regressors Spot  and in saying that from the outset I will say I respect and follow ASB.nets right to its own rules and follow them.

The first thing to say is on ASB you are informed you are not to reference anything that happened to you under the age of 21 that was real and even if just referring to as a historical fact.

Let's start with that age-21. In the UK whatever our opinions might be you are regarded in law as an adult at 18 and won't finish university until around 20 to 21 years of age so not only can you not refer to your own boyhood that clearly has a lot to do with being ASB, your university life can't even though you were an adult at the time.

This clearly is bought in from the Adult Content end which is fundamentally the difference between it and mine being strongly regressive or re-enactively but effectively stops discussion of why you are ASB/LB and the return to how you were as a boy.

It limits discussion down to uniforms although another restriction is that although you can post pictures of actual whole school uniforms being worn, you cannot state which school it is.

Let me put it another way: a uniform is distinctive  and may even feature a logo so anyone who knows their uniforms would know and it it is possible you may of attended it, so what is it that's being gained here especially as the site content isn't visible unless you are logged in?

Personally I take the view the uniform having been obtained, what you do by way of posting photos of you in it is very much up to you, no law has been broken so unless you do something stupid like pose outside of that establishment while in session that's it.

The only other things you can talk about is hobbies but again subject to that whole no reference to anything you did under the age of 21 so I can't say I owned a locomotive or explored something at the age of 9 or Corporal Punishment although again my being spanked at the age of 9 can't be mentioned in any detail at all so we get "how do I look in this uniform" and My latest caning with pictures.

I've no issue with people who want to do that but I prefer to talk about ASB life and for a good number of us it is about boyhood pasts, does include regression/re-enactment and that's what you can't do there.

My place doesn't accept accounts and pictures of corporal punishment because that's one thing the host would see as Adult Content although a brief mention of having or having had it is accepted apart from finding once you get a lot of talk around that - and it's starting to creep in all ready - you start to lose the other part.

We do accept talking about your boyhood because it is what made you who you are and is integral to being LB/ASB revisiting either as pure regression or re-enactment and for some of us those years have had an effect on our lives.

It can be therapeutic. 

We also do allow hobbies and interests to be discussed so long as they are 'safe for work' and many do link to our boyhood pasts.

It's not in anyway competition for ASB but is a complementary place where those thing ASB doesn't permit may be discussed
