As some of you know, we have had a number of discussions at Dominion over the past two weeks to deal with some growing pains. I outlined the main themes that emerged in a post earlier this week (see below). It was my conclusion that many problems could be addressed by making our staff group more present and relevant and providing more resources to our members. With that in mind we have made the following changes:
-Ladies of the Dominion who were already running events and programs, or assisting with sim matters were invited to staff and now wear the DOM Esteemded Lady staff title.
-The Dominion Liaision Program was launched to offer assistance to submissives by providing information and guidance. Liaisions will also be available to assist subs who feel they have been mistreated and to act as advocates.
-Our Counselling and Mediation Program is being relaunched with Esteemed Lady Syriana Paine taking the role of Dominion Mediator. She will be available to mediate disputes between members and to lend an ear to those who need some guidance.
Please note that all of our staff members have access to real life emergency contact info and can provide them to our members if needed. This info is also listed in our Counselling and Mediation sign at the info centre at the main Castle. We are NOT professional counsellors or therapists and are not equipped to deal with serious real life problems. If you are in trouble and have thoughts of hurting yourself please visit this link: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Suicide_hotlines
Our staff list will change at times so please make sure to check the information that is posted on the main castle wall for the most current rules, program info, and staff contact list. This area is kept up to date.
My goal with expanding the staff group is to have more people available to assist our members and provide information. It is not to make our environment more rigid, but more efficient and welcoming. We want you to enjoy Dominion and make yourself at home. We will be in the background, ready to step forward if you need assistance, or if problems arise, but will otherwise not interfere with your experience. Relax and have fun.
If you have any problems our staff can't help you with, or have a problem with a particular staff member, everyone is welcome to contact me. There will be a personal mailbox that only I can access at the info area at the Castle, and you are also welcome to drop me a notecard at any time. Every concern will receive a response. I promise.
In closing I ask you to be kind and patient with our new staff members as they settle in to their roles. Please keep in mind that no one on staff is paid, and that everyone has accepted their positions because they care about Dominion and it's members. We all want to keep Dominion as a fun, fair, and real Femdom environment. I thank all of them, and all of you, our members, for working together to make this happen.
