Whenever this rule got added it should go back where it came from,literally 1984 but not even a meme way to say 1984.

if this is a thing now that is straight up BS
staff has said multiple times that third party discord servers are not ccnet so wont be punished

Ikr,like if they dont like it they should go file a report on discord TOS

A thing to keep in mind is that a lot of nation discords are linked to directly in a channel on the ccnet discord itself (and by the people who run said nation discords as far as I know,) and are in some ways a sort of extension of the main ccnet discord & server. I, and others as well I believe, use part of my town/personal discord server as a storefront for an ingame business in nations, and as such the line is somewhat blurred between a private separate discord and a partially disconnected branch of the main official ccnet discord. Not particularly on one side or the other of this suggestion/argument, and not implying that the above is the case across the board, but it's something to keep in mind. In some cases, kind of hard to fault what is a publicly advertised offshoot of the server's discord having people banned for in some way publicly committing bannable offenses in front of people who are able to act on that offense

not great, and an entirely different thing if it's a fully separate discord server that just includes some friends who happen to play on ccnet/nations of course, but if this is happening in the above mentioned publicly advertised nation/town discord servers and in places that are available to the general playerbase in some capacity, the lines are blurred on what is going too far and what would be considered reasonable. Personally, would say that bannable toxicity is something that should and needs to be cracked down upon more, though non-official ccnet discords being included as spaces that are affected is probably not the best way to go in most situations (though if it helps it might be worth it anyways, only time will tell whether it benefits the server as a whole if it continues as is)

Yall can keep your private servers to yourself, but staff will punish people who antagonise others in our community. We are not there to be controlling, only to ensure that public discords are also relatively safe places for people to congregate.

For a long time, I was also opposed to this on a matter of principle - to an extent, I still am. But to idly stand by while community members are called the hard n-word and told to kill themselves does not feel right to me, and is in direct opposition to our goal of making CCNet an environment free of toxicity. What type of community are we encouraging to coalesce around the server if we allow such behaviour to continue unabated? I am not talking about 10-member private Discord servers, but rather those servers which are advertised widely within the community or on the CCNet Discord server itself. To allow this would scare away ordinary players and leave us with only trolls and toxic people.

The only thing scaring people away is making the CCNet a 1984 clone with the Big Brother now watching you in your own home

If you dont like it report me on discord for breaking TOS not ban me in a block game

Might aswell report my every1 that ever said anything in the past and get 90% of the community banned cuz no one is that innocent on discord chats

Literally bans about such topics are never because someone is offended,but because someone wants to get their enemy banned and this is a very obvious fact as the people that usually report (99%) say bad words themselves its just a large hipocrisy

We had to bring back punishments for 3rd party discord servers because of the overwhelming toxicity coming from servers advertised directly within CCNet. Most people aren’t a fan of 12 year old edgy racist humor. They’ll join a nations server, see how edgy everyone is, they’ll assume the entire community is like that, and they’ll leave. That’s not even considering the constant harassment some users received. It’s embarrassing and in bad taste.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but if no one can be a decent person for more than one minute, then this kind of punishment is entirely valid.

If you’re afraid of “Big Brother 1984”, then leave. It’s that easy. You don’t have to like our policies and we don’t have to cater everything on CCNet to those who want to continue being toxic without repercussions.

Breaking the rules from a discord server 3rd partied for CCnet is no different to doing the same thing on DMs anyways

the thing about public and private discords is it's impossible to keep private, all you need is one asshole spy to post it on the nation discords and now you can all get banned for if people are so "offended" why do they stay in said discords? we are not forcing people in and treating them like shit, we are joking around and someone says a funny word, a day or 2 later everyone gets banned

cam literally said herself you can leave ccnet if you don't like it, and instead of that the same thing should apply to these offensive discords, if you feel people on a certain discord server are harassing you, it is 2 clicks away from leaving. This rule should be removed as people can come and go from our discords as they please, i think maybe in addition to it's removal only certain people should be able to post on nations discords, leaders and representatives only so if they want to keep it private they can, and if someone is posting without their consent then it should be a 3 or 7 day ban, if we want to keep our discords nsfw and private only to trusted members then we should, and we shouldn't fall under this dumb rule where we can get banned for 1 funny word we said on a discord that wants to make itself separate from the greater ccnet community

Discord servers that are made publicly available through CCNet should be adhering to most of CCNet's rules as well. I'd say rules such as the behavior rules are on an order of importance that is higher than the rest.

The biggest problems are targeted harassment and escalated matters such as doxxing, slander, blackmailing, etc. and I think those are, for the most part, what staff want to mitigate and remove from the community. If someone is being harassed like that then I see no reason to keep the offender near them, no matter where the harassment is taking place in. In this case, something illegal — in real life! — is happening therefore staff will judge the offender as a person and remove them from the community accordingly. I personally tend to fully agree with that.

So, in regards to those very serious, but also less serious deals (like general toxicity): MODERATE your public servers, buckos. There is no excuse. I don't care what you do in other servers irrelevant to CCNet, but when you are in a space publicly connected to CCNet, it should be a given to watch your behavior. Simple?

@Wabbit_01 The idea of verifying users to post their Discord is interesting, however it is the server's content that matters, not who posts it. And if you think about verifying servers instead; you can easily fake good behavior to get your server verified, then staff won't have to check anymore after you were allowed to post it, and you can be toxic in a public Discord connected to CCNet freely. Hence, disaster and big hassle.
