Short reads on how Kept works, from setup to safety.
A Dom builds punishment presets, and optionally chains, several steps triggered as a sequence, ahead of time, then fires one from Consequences when it's needed: a saved preset or chain, or a one-off set of steps put together on the spot. Triggering asks for confirmation first, and once it fires, it's on the record. A punishment can require photo proof before the Sub can mark it complete, verified the same way task proof is. A Sub can also propose a punishment preset for the Dom to adopt or reject, rather than only ever receiving ones the Dom built alone.
Rewards work the other way. A Dom prices a preset in points, or leaves it Dom-only with no price, and a Sub with enough points redeems it directly, debiting the balance on the spot rather than waiting for approval. A Dom can also grant a reward manually, priced or not, with a reason attached. A separate grace-token balance works like a small pre-authorized allowance the Sub can spend without asking each time.
