User names and log-in names are one and the same at our forum. In other words, if you use a different CD/TG name outside of this forum (whether in real life or at other sites) you are not to use or reference that other name; members will always refer to themselves by their forum user name while here and that is to avoid confusion.
Please note that the following are no longer allowed to be used in user names at the forum. This list is not inclusive, and only cites some examples of what is not allowed in/for user names at the forum. Registrations using any of the following in or for their proposed user name may not be contacted by the Site Admin for a 'name change' and their registration will be deleted in its entirety; those proposed new members may submit a new registration using a real-sounding name that conforms to our rules.
a) Numbers in any format (numeric, alpha, Roman, etc.);
b) Terms such as crossdress(er), queer, transgender, transvestite, etc.;
c) Abbreviations such as CD, TV, TG, etc.;
d) Symbols, emoticons, and most punctuation marks;
e) Most city, state, country, and area names or their abbreviations;
f) Profanity or vulgarity;
g) Descriptive words such as baby, boy, boi, girl, gurl, hussy, lady, love, master, missy, precious, sassy, sissy, wife ... and the list goes on;
h) Titles such as Duchess, Duke, Goddess, King, Lady, Lord, Princess, and Queen;
i) Titles of rank, such as those used in the military, police/fire departments, and the like;
j) Names such as Bliss, Fair, Lovely, Sassy; and the like.
k) Names such as Jane Doe or John Doe will not be permitted.
l) Names with double initials ('DD', 'JJ', etc.) may only accepted when we have multiple members with the same or very similar names.
Current members whose user name incorporates any of the above are asked to contact the site administrator or Kimberlys so their user name may be amended; however, they are under absolutely no obligation to do so and their names may remain as is if they so desire.
Titles like ‘Ms.’ or ‘Miss’ may be used with a user name, but it must accompany a femme name (ex., ‘Miss Jane’). Generally, titles will be permitted only when there are several members with the same/similar user name, and the final decision will rest solely with the Site Administrator.
Male names are also permitted for the CDs, as well as the appropriate “Mr.” title. Again, titles are only accepted when we have multiple members with the same or very similar name.
In other words, only 'real names’ or ‘real-sounding names' may be used, as well as names with proper punctuation {ie, hyphen (-), underscore (_), or period/dot (.) names are acceptable, but other punctuation or symbols are not}. Please note that we are not referring to your real name, but 'real names' in general.
All names will be properly capitalized and, if not created that way by the proposed new member during registration, they will be amended by the Admin(s) before the account is activated. The Admins also have the right to amend/change user names to comply with these rules. Those affected will receive an email from the Site Administrator before their account is activated to inform them of the amended name; the password originally chosen for those accounts will not be affected.
The final decision on whether a user name is acceptable for the Forum rests solely with the site administrator Kimberlys.
User Name Tag Definitions:
All genetic females - be it spouse or girlfriend - must use the appropriate (SO) or (GG) tag at the end of their user name; spouse/longterm partner = Significant Other '(SO)'; girlfriend = Genetic Girl '(GG)'.
All Family/Friend members must add the (F) tag - to the end of their user name so we may identify members more clearly.
At this Forum, the (SO) tag is used by the genetically-female wife or long-term partner to a CD/TG, while the (GG) tag is used by genetically-female girlfriends.
The (F) tag is used only by family members or friends of the CD/TG and it must be used as shown; it cannot be combined with any other tag, and it can only be used in this '(F)' format.
The (SO) and (GG) tags may be used in any of the following formats, but not both in the same name:
Singular Tags - Allowed: Andrea(SO); Andrea (GG); Andrea_SO; Andrea-GG; or Andrea SO.
Double Tags - Not Allowed: Andrea (SO)(GG); Andrea (F)(GG)
Significant Others who are genetically male must use the (MSO) tag (Male Significant Other) in any format as the GG and SO tags, shown above. However, they will not be given access to the A Place for Significant Others sub-forums, as those sections are solely for genetic females. In addition, post-op MTFs and any CD or TG 'admins' are not permitted to enter there, and there is no negotiating this rule.
As our forum is open to all crossdressers including Female-to-Male, those members should be so identified to avoid confusion for anyone reading their posts. Accordingly, the (FTM) tag will be utilized in any format as the GG and SO tags, shown above. However, they will not be given access to the A Place for Significant Others sub-forums because they identify as a CD/TG.
Thank you for your cooperation!
