Ok so everyone has to start somewhere. Unfortunately this place is littered with profiles of users who signed up, had a quick look around, maybe posted a couple of times and then didn't come back.
So you don't end up like them here are some tips to getting the most out of Kinktalk.

First, set up your profile with as much info as you can provide first up. Make sure you include things like what (if any) experience you have and what kinks you are curious about. This will help guide others here when they want to contact you and hopefully make for a better response when they do. It will also save answering endless queries about these things that will inevitably follow if you don't. Be honest about this stuff, you will get much more help and be more likely to get what you really want if people know how to treat you.
Second, spend a few days reading and getting to know the rules, both formal and just the more general etiquette. Don't be tempted to jump in and post a "Hi I'm up for anything" type post on your first day as you will be bombarded with idiotic suggestions that you won't do anyway. You do have limits, everyone does, read this blog post by another member for more on that...

Third, When you have read a bit you will notice some posters make a lot more sense than others, you will get to know the good, the bad and the time wasters. Be respectful when you join an existing thread, only post something relevant or start a new thread if you have something new to say.
Fourth, For heaven sake post in the appropriate forum and don't bomb your posts all over many threads. Each section deals with different kinks and is arranged that way for good reasons, posting your stuff randomly WILL piss people off.
Fifth, If you are going to respond to a thread from some time ago please check to see if the user is still active. Go to their profile and check the last login date, if they haven't been back since the day they joined you're not likely to get to them. And while on their profile have a quick read to see what that person is into, it can save a lot of wasted time, effort and aggravation
.
Well there's probably more wisdom I could impart but I'll leave it at that for now, have fun and play safe!
