Should you ask before you bite? People have bitten me without asking and I found it very rude, but then again in the beginning I also have bitten people without asking them, my humble apology.
So ask before you bite, yes or no. I am just interested what you all think of this.
I say bite if you have spoken with the person before. If not don't be weird send a simple hello or damn I'd like to bite into u!
umm i get like 20 -30 bites everytime i come on... i dont think its rude to bite without asking... its just a bite.. its what its there for
If i get bit here its cool you say hello if you like em to the friends lidt they go if not all hail the migty block user button if in the street though and some1 wanted to just walk and bite me then its just plain rude
I get bites alot. I'm flattered by them *smiles* But I havent bitten anyone yet *evil grin* any volunteers?? *licks lips n giggles*
actually this topic is an old one....but a good point...
it is rude to just randomly bite at ppl you don't know.....if i have never even heard you say hi....then why would i want a bite from you?
it's just a basic politeness people...common sense
I have been bitten many many times... It doesn't bother me to be bitten without asking.
I need to update my list though, I have about 30 or so to add to people who have bitten me...
You're on a vampire site....
Vamps bite.. not kiss..... take it as a greeting and form of hello... as that is what it's intended for.
Imagine if this was a Enema site hahahhahha
For everyone else out there.. bite me all you want baby, I love the attention >:)
I bite Mory all the time >:P
I tend to bite cute lasses to say hello and welcome >:)
I don't mind recieving the occassional bite but I've had to block some people due to being excessive and biting me like 10 times in the space of an hour.
Bite me my beautiful sister *kisses Drkwoman*
Your nibbles are at the top of my list!
most people don't bite me more then once a day ..... wonder what waco's your attracting drks lol
I have still not bitten anybody .. in all this tyme *sighs* I kept my first bite in saved messages :)
i get bit way to often to count and well i dont mind it becaz its a way of saying hi and such
LOL Moreish, that'd be one funny concept...enemas....hahahah
Chaos, i agree....if i get bitten by someone just randomly on the street one day, thatd be just RUDE (((rofl))))
i dont think bites are rude, like Moreish said, its a nice way to say hello, we ARE on a vampire site you know....now if u dont like the bites, dont bite back or just block the person....its easy as that....no scientific research for that...
*shrug*
"Your Bowels Have Been Flushed by Jason!"
ROFL ROFL
Imagine the pics that would go with that?!
Personally I don't mind a bite...like Moreish said...it's a form of greeting...what's wrong with that...BUT...excesive bitting does getting annoying...I too have had to block some due to it...If or when I do bite I usually always follow it up with a 'Hello' or some message...some people are shy when it comes to talking to new people...I noticed too that the higher up in levels you are some of the newer people seem to be a little intimadated talking to you...this is a social site...to learn more about Vampires and to meet new people with similar intrests...
So I say bite away..but please do be considerate to my other guests...it is quiet rude not to offer refreshments when company comes calling :^* :^}
i do agree with dami. Biting is quite refreshing until it gets excessive. Please , don't bite repeatedly unless you have browser issues ( like me ) where it sometimes becomes inevitable once the "send" icon is clicked.
happy biting.
I think my record is 67 or so bites from the same person in less than 15 minutes. Heh.
I don't understand why new folks would be intimidated by the resident veterans of the site. There really is nothing special about having high status. All it really means is that someone spends a lot of time on the site. Right? I've had new people address me as "lord," "master," and things like that. It makes me feel umcomfortable. I politely ask them to call me by my nic. (shrug)
When the BITE button first showed up, there was rampant mastication throughout the site. After about a week it calmed down. No biggie. At that time I suggested that biting be reserved for those of unusually high status. But, since then, the BITE has become sort of an ice-breaker. I'm on the fence about BITING used for this fashion. Personally, I'd rather see new folks break the ice by POSTING in the forums. NOT starting threads. I enjoy getting to know people by seeing how they write and what they have to say about stuff.
Anyway, I've typed for about 5 minutes and said practically nothing. So, this is Your LORD and MASTER, Jason (ROFL) fading into the creepy and faintly icky smelling mist.
(DAMN you, Lex! Give a warning before you let one of those go!)
I do have to agree with the incessive biting. It can be a little peeving. I think biting is a cute way of saying hi. I dont normally bite people Just because I dont want to be a bother. I did get my first bite in tho!! yay ! go me go me! lol and thanks chaos for comming to a Countess in Distress Bite *wink*
o' lord jason
*bows*
your wise words speak such truth.
what next sacrifice shall i do on your name?
name it!...im on it ...
=)
hehe
im jokin...but ure kinda right....i dunno why people r scared of others with high rankings...is not like they'll cook u for dinner or something...
btw i still have that bowels mental picture...
*shakes head*
*walks away*
what ya talkin' about 'cook you for dinner' I'll bite em, bleed em dry and then throw thier corpse too the dogs >:^} Just Kidding folks...
Master Jason *thinks* hhhmmm nope I think dork was better fitting LOLOL ROFLMFAO
If someone if blocked, are they aware that they have been blocked?
i had to block someone due to excessive Messages and biting. I feel so rude. :o/
it is the loading my msg box with bites that pisses me off.....I am on dialup... so it takes so damn long to delete all that crap as is....I don't mind a few bites....but not numerous from the same person
i still haven't blocked anyone.....
i think everyone is just marvelous
ok let me not jinx it.... =X
everyone is lovely.
i had a bad encounter ,i guess.
i do feel bad for blocking that person , but i am on dial up as well and the person was FLOODING my mailbox.
I can understand those of you with dial up...but it also can slow down the DSL user as well...
And I wouldn't feel bad for blocking someone after asking them several times not to bite like that, and even giving them warning that even though I didn't want to, but that I would if they continued...they continued so I blocked them...I don't feel bad for that...I'd rather block them then send them too a mod...as they have enough to handle...
now if this is the same person that is being blocked by several then yes I'd say give it to a mod and let them handle it...
ahhh...man...i remember my dial up times...
they sucked =(
yeah...its way better,,,,,,well smetimes...
has its pros/cons
Being fairly new here (about 2 months ) I thought the bites were someones way of saying hello, allowing you the opportunity to look at their profile to see if you want to then send a bite or message in return..
Most are scared I think to bite me, cause they don't know what I look like! HAHAHHEHEHEHhaw!
Easy My Lord Master Dork.......They know not what they say.....
JK, buddy
LOL
But as far as biting goes....
It is a way to say "hello", as long as I have met the "bitee" somewhere, like the forums or when someone rates your profile.
I never bite anyone I don't know, it's like going up to a stranger and french kissing them....you don't know how they will respond, but the odds are it won't be good.
But once "intros" have been done, a bite can be the thing that starts conversations or even relationships.
So be careful when biting someone, kids....you don't know where they have been!
I plan on restricting the ability to bite to levels 3 and higher. This should cut out a lot of the nonsense.
I've been thinking about doing this for a while... I'll probably implement it at the next update.
Personaly I like the whole concep of bite-ing. Ive met lots of ppll thru it. ^_^
Oops my bad please forgive me
Thy LORD MASTER DORK....I am forever and y'r beck and call....
BTW any new updates Lord and Master
We need a new Icon. So that if you get bitten by someone who, you don't want biting you again, say a Hannibal lector mask, icon. You could send in return, so they get the ponit, and you don't get another 'two points' from them...
LoL @ hannibal lector mask... maybe a i con of someone holding a muzzel shaking thier finger no... hehe..
i think being bitten is great no you ask i know its weird sometime but hey every bite counts i love being bitten frome anyone its great
viva la bite ; [
It depends, see there are alot of biters who are noisy and messy and bite like it's there first time.. i like a nice slow, soft, meaningful bite and i hate waking up to find them dead.. thats just plain rude!
:: stares in shock:: wow thank you for the reponses, I didn't expect so much of them but thanks ::smiles:: and I agree with the person who said that biting is just a way of saying hello or welcome, but if you haven't talked to the person before it can be rude. thanks again for all your reponses :: smiles one last time and goes poof into the mist::
I think a gagball would be more appropriate to this website than a Hannibal mask. But, that's just what I think.
Just me here, but I kinda use the bite as an icebreaker. Just to say hi, you know? The person can then decide to talk to me or not from that point. Ihave no problems with biting. Bite away. I just kinda feel rude myself saying hi to people I don't know. The bite is more comfortable to me. Only my 2 cents worth. Love ya all!
lol @ ball gag .. er umm wait what is that * innocent look* I have no clue as to what that is or what its used for .. hehe
i tried using dictionary.com to define gag ball for you, but the definition isn't there. They're cutting me off. haha
innocent? yeah right! you probably have like 7 of them at home. once for each day of the week.
im kidding, love.
::: scurries around house to hide stash of ball gags:::: dammit! Deity has found my stash and will soon figure out my ploy of gaging unsuspecting people! foiled again!!! lol
Ball gags are used by some people as part of some BDSM activities. There are a variety of possible motivations for this.
Some people are sexually aroused by the sight of gags, or activities involving gags. One specific paraphilia relates to scenes on television in which the captor gags the damsel in distress to prevent her from screaming for help. Some people are sexually aroused by such seemingly mundane imagery, even if there is no nudity or sexual act present, sometimes going as far as to search video stores and websites for certain scenes.
Other people appear to find being gagged increases their sense of helplessness within a BDSM scene, and desire to be gagged for that reason. Dominants enjoy gagging their submissives because many of them see it as a form of humiliation, rather than a silencing technique.
i prefer the load moaning, screaming and the ungagged mouth any day...... !
* files down horns from halo * I have no clue that one tiny red ball with a strap to fit snuggley into the mouth and around your head would be used for something of that nature... * rereads* Crap! I think I blew my inosence.. *smiles*
i prefer being asphyxiated slightly.
haha.. ok, enough
Countess, you aren't fooling anyone, you vixen. I only own handcuffs.. i might need you to let me borrow some gizmos. lol
joke!
Remain on task all of you ADD afflicted kiddies! LOL Biting. We're talking about that little BITE button on the profile. Ahem...
Please send all observations and opinions about Ball Gags to Twilight Lex. heheheh
gag balls...
never seen one
sry..LOL
can u swallow those things by mistake?
so yeah, back to biting
* trying to ignore darkness' slip up * lol
Who, in all honesty would be game enough or crazy enough to be bitten with fangs.... personally... it rates high on my 'to do list'
anywhere.... *grins* but needless to say, avoid the major artries...
I would *grinz* its one of those trust issue things. I have too trust someone enough to do it. TO me its a emotional and spiritual bond, very intimate, very personable, To give that would be to give life..
would love to know what your pian thresh hold is? when you get bitten and it bleeds, alot of poeple shy away, when it gets too deep..
amalia iv told u b4 and ill tell u again u r on a VAMPIRE site and what do VAMPIRES do the bite people
if vampires were real (not including the vampire deaseise) would they go up 2 a person and ask them no (exsept on interview with a vampire) c so i say no
*grins, licks lips, bites back of ankle, if you can handle that, you can handle anything...
wonder why?.. thats the zenith of pain.. it will make your toes curl, your long nails tear at the floor boards and your screams will wake up the dead....
*hey Jason, my vampy looking dude, Don't worry, be happy!*
Biting is just hot... theres nothing like.. strolling around at midnight in the beautiful darkness.. The moon bright, the shadows dancing amongst the trees and earth. THen out of shear passion you are whirled around face to face hair brushed from your neck.. you close your eyes your head tilts to the side with the gentle caress of finger tips... then sensious pain ... opening your eyes to see nothing but the shadows and the midnights moon..... ummm yah okay so enough of that... * puts paper n pen down*
* fans self* wow... ummm *picks up pen and paper* Maybe I shall continue this as a story in my journal.... *smiles*
I think biting is a way to ge ones attention when I get bit i just reply you have my attention how do i taste and that usually starts a conversation so i dont mind it
lol I did contine the story in my journal.. it took me a minute and a few breaks!! lol
I had someone add me to msn, tell me a couple dozen times to add them to my friends list then bite me about 10 times. A bit too friendly for my liking. O_O;
But other then that I like getting nibbles. ;) Prefer it from people I've talked to but no biggy if you use it as a way to start up a conversation.
i don't mind being biten. And I agree, it's what it's there for. Enjoy it. But yes, it can be rude sometimes. Just depends really i guess.
Rude?Oh c'on the bite it's just part of the game and ice breaker.
Yet I still would prefer a long message.
I don't care, I never find it rude. Its there for a reason.
I'm shy on the biting. I usually bite back, or bite to say "Hi" when I have talked to the person a cupple of times. But , it has happened once or twice, when a person has in the profile something like "bite me" (not in the quote part), and i did, and the person liked it, took at as a welcome (and it actually was) and thanked me.
I keep saying this...Like all in life, moderation is the key.
bite
if they complain
why are they here for?
its a bite or be bitting world
enjoy it
I agree with moderation is the key.
I for example used it as an ice braker,sometimes and it worked:)
But I give only one even if the person doesn't respond.
Once I was given 12 bites one after the other,not very good:/
Exactly. Works very well as an ice breaker.
12 bites?? Damn...someone was deperatlly trying to get you attention...Or did the mouse get stuck on the bite button?! ; )
Lol I guess it was more the first one cause then I responded but hey I don't dstay on the pc all the time!
lol i dont think you need to ask first. biting is either an ice breaker to get someones attention or a way of saying hello :)
Well the biting mode really took off in Vampire Rave, when it first came out we had so much fun with it :) *mmwahhh* miss ya Morey doll!
i agree, it is an ice breaker, and i do it when i wanna start a convo with someone but i'm not sure if they wanna talk...they have the choice to respond or not :)
It is not rude. For some people, like myself, it is the way to say hello. If I want to start a conversation with someone and don't know how I'll bite them. I don't want the first thing I say to be "Can I bite you" It isn't there for that.
* bites everyone..hehe..well for me it isn`t rude..it`s just a cheeky way to say hi:P i love bites:P..
I have them blocked.
I found that enough people and children disregarded my plainly stated request.
So.
No bitey.
people bite me and its like 'who the hell are you?? i never knew you existed' lol i havent bit anyone i only level two
i think its rude if sum1 bites u and u dont say nethin 2 them or tyhey dont say nethin 2 ubut sat the end of the day its up 2 that person
I dont think People should have to ask to bite... i love all the bites i get.. i have people biting me for no reason other than they like my profile... or just out of kindness... I love it when they do... It makes me feel welcome... like I have friends in unknown places...lol.... but thats just my opinion!!
I don't being bitten without having been asked. I would hope that they actually rated me, but it's fine either way.
i do not know if i would call it rude to be bitten with out asking ..... but i can say that some one saying hi firt would be great
Obvisously (my name), I dont mind! Think its just a way to break the ice! Untill you get the ones who do it 5 or so at once! Then it gets ridiculous!
I think biting is great. I have had some very intelligent conversations that started with a bite.
i think biting is a way to get the persons attention..... and when i first came on here i got a whole sh*t load of them but nowadays i barely get two a day*sighs*
hey ppl can just bite away at me! i think since this is a vampire website (that's not all it is used for, but ya know...) i think that biting is just a fun thing that is part of it....i honestly think that if ppl dont like to be bitten then either turn the option off of just delete the bite when u get it...nothing to get pissed at anyone about :)
When I first came in here I got a lot of bitting and when I ask wtf is going on they told me that's a way to say "hello" in here! That's why I bit a couple of other people when I "got" my fangs!
i dont thi8kn you should ask before you bite as it is like a hello etc i dont but then again you could say im a very rude girl...
i'm new and don't know what biting someone does please explain
I take biting as a way to say hello to someone I know or dont know sometimes I ask sometimes I dont just depends on my mood that day lol
I simply don't get it to ask a person before you bite, this is not reality.But at least not send her 100 bites a second!
well i use biting as a way to say hello... that way if someone wants to talk to me then they will if i message them some people dont respond but generally if i bite ppl they do...
Well if someone bites me, I message them and say hope you don't mind a bite back, and do it. Then if they want to have a small conversation we do. Otherwise we don't.
*shudders* Jason that was just disturbing, still though not as funny as when a friend of mine gave my MORMON teacher an Enema kit for his birthday.
