CNC Club 18+ Safety & Privacy Guidelines
Résumé
CNC Club 18+ outlines community safety and privacy guidance to help members protect personal information, avoid oversharing, and assess trust. The announcement covers risks of sharing health or emotional details, cautions about photo metadata and reverse image searches, and offers practical advice to keep interactions safe and respectful within the roleplay community.
Server Safety and Protecting Your Privacy
We do our best to create a community in this server that you can enjoy, develop friendships within, fulfill your fantasies and more. Because we often share vulnerable pieces of ourselves here, it is easy to both share too much or to emotionally invest more deeply than we should.
At the end of the day, as well as you think you know your online friends, you do not know them, no matter how often you talk or how much you share, and we hope we can help you enjoy your time here in a safe and healthy way with the following guidance.
Sharing Personal Information
Protect yourself from information being used against you. It’s common, when we are vulnerable with others, to share our health and mental challenges, struggles within our personal lives, insecurities of ours and more. At the time, we share these with someone else in the server we have decided to trust, but what about when something goes wrong?
Always ask yourself how well you really know another. Do you know how they react when furious or hurt? Do you know how they react when scared? And so on. Do not trust personal information you do not want made public with people you do not really know at the end of the day.
And perhaps even more importantly: remember that you are not special. If a user speaks ill of others to you, they may speak ill of you to others. If a user handled a situation with another poorly but “would never do that with you” - be concerned. People are who they are, and you’re only special until you’re not.
Posting Photos
Please remember that you are always posting photos at your own risk - SFW and NSFW. Posting photos is not required, even once verified, and we often look past identifying details (you know, besides tattoos, and our own faces). Images are traceable, photos contain metadata, and often clues as to your identity and/or location can exist in the background of your photos. Images can also be reverse image searched to find you on social media, if you have shared the same photos anywhere online.
Share photos with caution and the understanding that while it is our hope our members are respectful and good, that neither you nor we can control other's ability to save your photos or seek trackable information from them once shared - which goes for everywhere online, not just servers in the hub. Be smart with what you share!
Providing Identifiable/Trackable Information
Do not share identifiable or trackable information with anybody, including staff, and be wary of people, staff or other servers who demand it.
When submitting your verifications, please exclude your name, address, etc. (you would be shocked how many don’t). We do not want this information. When getting to know others, be careful when sharing last names, places of work, social media accounts and more. This includes sharing this information in voice chats and or when streaming. Do not open personal files when streaming your screen, and always turn off your stream when you are done showing others what you want to show. It is advised to not stream while you are doing another miscellaneous tasks, as if you get distracted and forget that you are still streaming, the worst could happen. With any one of these pieces of information, a user can find out who you are. And with a user knowing who you are, can find out plenty more about you as well: including interfering with your real, personal life, which the hub can not help with once it begins.
Information as simple as the name of a restaurant you attended last night, or what you do for a living in a small town, or the items in the background of your photos is enough for your identity to be swiped.
It’s easy for us to get lost in “one harmless piece of information”, but remember many of us share thousands of messages across months and years that someone patient enough can piece together. Protect yourself.
