1) TNGC is demographically geared for folks who are aged 18 to 35, and involved, or interested in being involved with BDSM/kink/fetish/leather, etc.

2) Those who are affiliated with TNGC individual having either strong friendships or relationships with individuals (i.e partner, master/mistress, trainer, sub/slave etc) will be welcome to attend meetings if accompanied by a member. TNGC individuals who have surpassed the age limit will be referred to as TNGC Alumni.

3) When attending your first meeting, you must bring a legal form of ID with you (i.e. state ID, Drivers License or passport) that shows your age, and all will have to sign a waiver before you enter the meetings.

4) TNGC is respectful of all sexual orientations, gender presentations, ages, and individual kinks.

5) TNGC was not created to cause any hard feelings in the community. TNGC was created to allow a 'birthing place' for young BDSMers, where they can grow amongst peers, while establishing strong roots into the greater BDSM community. Most current TNGC individuals are involved with the greater leather community at some level but desire a social/support space for younger people.

6) Traffic on the E-mail list. Since E-mail is the primary way of conducting this group, respect is required. Threats, or distinctly inappropriate, or slanderous behaviors will not be tolerated. List Administrators will remove problematic folks from the list.

7) The BIG rule of TNGC is; Be Respectful, of group guidelines, individual feelings, property (human and non-human), ages, kinks, and persuasions. Despite the debate, all play is done under the auspice of Safe, Sane, and Consensual. Please consult the host or Dungeon Master (DM)if you believe that someone is not meeting these guidelines in a play situation.
