CNC Campus

Hey- thank you for the review. For those who are concerned by this, let me explain our entire moderation procedure, as well as what (I think?) she's talking about for the second half, then you can decide if you want to join:

So, a common critique levied at the server is that members feel like it's easy to get warned/banned here, and that can make them anxious to participate. Nyla's absolutely correct that we warn/ban a lot of members daily, but with that said, the majority of our regulars have never gotten a single warning or have only gotten 1 across years of participating in the space. The server has high standards, but so long as you generally know what you're doing (or are open to learn), you'll do fine here. This is a CNC server, so we expect a lot of the members, and yeah- because of that, we're quicker than most servers to remove anyone who skims the rules or generally just doesn't seem to be taking the kink seriously.

Our procedure is 1 warn, then if you break the same rule again, you're banned, or if you break so many rules in a short period of time that it's clear you haven't read the rules, you're banned. Newjoins in particular who join & instantly break DM rules just get banned- no warning. The same goes for obvious trolls, minors attempting to join, and anyone who does something so unethical that just giving them a warning would be ridiculous.


With regards to the "no double checking reports" part, we require logs alongside every report that happened outside the server (unless it happened in a VC, in which case, we contact all other members who were in the call to verify what happened, as well as members who were in calls with the accused in the past to see if the accused has a history of similar negative behavior that went unreported.)

Whether we contact the accused themselves depends upon what's reported. If a newjoin with like, under 30 messages in the server is getting reported for violating DM rules (with screenshots provided), for example, we just ban them.

Conversely, if an established member is getting accused of poor behavior in DMs (again--with screenshots provided), they're spoken to by staff, then will be banned if it happens again. Of course, they're given an opportunity to debate or challenge the warning when we speak with them.

It's very, *VERY* rare that a member gets banned without at least a DM from our bot beforehand explaining what they did wrong in exhaustive detail (you can see how much explanation I tend to give by this message ^-^'.)

When given warnings by the bot, the bot provides a link to the ticket channel within the server & encourages members to challenge the warning if it was given in error.

Members accused of something *extremely* serious, such a pedophilia, blackmailing, etc. will usually be banned without a warning and without being spoken to, but in those instance, we DO require the accusers to provide a screenshare of their evidence to prove it wasn't photoshopped, and in all cases- even the most extreme, banned members can always reach out to the staff using our appeal server if something seems unfair.


Now, I don't know for certain what instance Nyla's referring to where someone was wrongly banned based off poor evidence that wasn't double checked. She never contacted us about this, but she did once ask for a link to our appeal server for a friend of hers, which was a couple days before this review was posted. Based off the timing, I'm going to assuming that's the ban she was talking about, so below is his entire ban reason:

"Banned following a report of uncomfortable behavior happening in DMs + similar reports originating from another kink server, in which you, in the first instance, told a member off for their communication in a way that wasn't warranted, and in the second, sent the member a passive-aggressive DM basically saying you were angry at them for talking negatively about you in what's supposed to be a private chat. In both cases, you're not being respectful to other members and are therefore not a good fit for a CNC server like this where the doms carry power over the subs, particularly given that you took the "experienced" role upon entry, indicating that you should have a better understanding than most about what is/isn't acceptable behavior outside of play."

This is pretty difficult to understand without context, but basically 2 things happened:

First, the dom was trying to VC with a sub in DMs. The sub said she wanted to keep their VC talks to the server, and he basically said it was making him upset that she said that, since in the past she'd indicated that she might be open with VCing with him in private sometime. She said in response:

"She apologies for hurting you, Sir, but she stands firm with her feelings and her boundaries. regardless of if it hurts You or not, she prioritizes communication and she doesn't wish to just.. go without it being said, or allowing it to build, or even telling You she isn't down to VC with no explanation." (She was talking in third-person sub-talk).

After this, he gets mad at her, saying she was wrong to mention the "even if it hurts you" part in that moment and should have let him express he was hurt before saying that. Obviously, this is unsafe behavior, and he really has no right to complain to the sub about her "hurting him" in the first place because she had at first politely said she doesn't want to do something she's under no obligation to do. She was right do double down here on her limits. Could she have phrased it better? Sure- but he's also pushing her to do something she doesn't want to do after she said no, so he's in the wrong here. This is the "uncomfortable behavior" that happened in DMs.

The second part of his ban reason was discovered from me joining another server where I'd heard he had caused issues to speak to the mods there. They affirmed what was initially reported to me, as well as provided screenshots of the accused dom venting about things that were said in that server's private girls-only channel, indicating he was getting information leaked from the girl chat. Either he had an alt there posing as a sub, or one of the girls was feeding info to him. In either case, it was an invasion of privacy- an obvious second reason to ban him.

I have screenshots saved from both instances, and ironically, this was way more work than we usually do to ban someone- it's rare we have to verify something that happened in another server.

Because of that, I'm not sure if this is what Nyla was talking about in her report, but getting the link to the appeal server for him is the only thing she's ever contacted the mods about, so if it's not this, I don't know what else it could be.
In either case, we would've heard out her friend if he'd joined the appeal server, and if it was determined the sub had misused the reporting system, then we'd have unbanned the dom wrongly banned, and banned the sub instead (assuming she did it maliciously).

(Also, if you're curious, the dom I spoke about above did try to appeal his ban. I spoke to him in the appeal server pretty extensively, but he didn't think he was in the wrong for anything that happened, so he didn't get his appeal accepted.)


TL;DR We're quick with our bans & don't waste time on cut-and-dry reports, but members who have been in the space longer than like a week are pretty much always contacted about what they do wrong. Reports require screenshots & *everyone* is always allowed to challenge their warns/bans. Also, the mod team puts in the work to verify reports in any situations that require scrutiny.
