Get the most out of your posts!
Use the proper threads – We are a big group, and as a result, posting all willy nilly can get overwhelming and make it hard to find things. We try to keep our Main Feed easy to navigate and read by implementing a few simple rules and providing several different types of threads throughout week and the month. You’re welcome to start your own discussion threads over specific topics, like questions, or articles that you find interesting, but seeking posts, lone memes, reels, and tik toks, declarative statements, rogue selfies, and “what are ya’ll up to” posts will be removed and you will be redirected to the proper threads.
Post an Intro! Let us get to know you – say hello, share a few SFW pics, and tell us a little bit about yourself. Try to avoid stating what you’re looking for in relation to dating in order to avoid sounding seeking, and instead, try talking about the things you’d like to learn more about. Feel free to check out our Intro Template in the Featured Posts.
Don’t be a jerk or a creep. Please remember the first and foremost goal of our community is education and support – while we are 1000% supportive of finding your people, we are not a dating group and just because someone is non-monogamous doesn’t automatically mean they are looking, or even open to dating. And to be honest, we find that most people have the best results by forming organic connections over time. Randomly hitting someone (or several someones) up with “can I DM?” or “You are so gorgeous, mind if I message you?” can come across really creepy, presumptuous, and irrelevant depending on the type of post. Save your mackin’ moves for the monthly Connections thread, or use discussions and getting to know you type posts to warm up to one another and then decide if conversation and connection is going to go further.
Most importantly, follow the group rules. You agreed to the group rules when you joined the group. If you aren’t sure what they are, there are several places to look them up, or lots of group members and moderators who are more than willing to help you out and answer any questions. The rules are there to keep everyone safe and having a good time. We work really hard to make sure that they are fair, reasonable, and easy to follow, and that they are something that our Mod Team can manage under the time and ability they have. We don’t expect everyone to be perfect, but depending on the severity of the offense, or your attitude when being redirected or educated, it might turn out to be that we aren’t a good fit for each other. If you can’t follow the rules, treat people well, and respect others, you just might be shown the door.
Tag a Mod. – If you see an issue, or just have a general question, using the word “admin” or “mod” or reporting a post will send us a notification letting us know there’s something needing attention. You’re also always allowed to message a member of the Mod team on Dallas Poly related topics without having to get consent first. Likewise, if we need to message anybody, we’ll reach out and identify that we are doing so in a moderator capacity. Otherwise, we *ALL* have to gain consent before private messaging on non-mod/Dallas Poly related discussion.
