The League of Conservative Nations, henceforth referred to as the LCN, does not endorse nor allow the following: hate, discrimination, harassment, or other forms of abuse on our communication platforms. The LCN has made consistent efforts to maintain a safe environment for all participants, and we host a citizenry and membership of individuals with varying ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and other factors.
There has been a recent misinterpretation and misrepresentation of our region by The Union of Democratic States, which chose to withdraw embassies over disagreements with our moderation policies. While we are unsure to what extent this is supported by their administration, we have been informed of the UDS, or at least certain individuals within the region disseminating their accusations and disingenuous allegations about the LCN.
The LCN remains of the opinion that our moderation policy is fair and just. The allegation that we allow hate speech is simply untrue. It is accurate that certain generally offensive terms are allowed on the condition that both the poster and the person(s) the post is directed to are comfortable with the language used. It is our opinion that hate is at least partially conditional on the intent of the poster and the perception of the recipient of the comments. We have specifically created a channel for anyone to come forward and bring up a concern they have to our moderation team (officially known as the League’s Police Force - the LPF), this includes reporting behavior that they consider to make them feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or otherwise rule-breaking. Anyone may report content that makes them feel unsafe, unwelcome, or uncomfortable and it will be handled if any sort of behavior is directed towards them again.
Our moderation team is vetted, has various protocols in place for rule enforcement, and has rules that specifically address the behaviors we are accused of allowing. Discord Server rule six, which bans harassment, and rule seven, which prohibits content that we believe to poorly reflect on our region and community, as well as warns people to be mindful of their actions. Individuals who create an unsafe environment face consequences for doing so, ranging from moderation bot warnings, to mutes, to special moderation protocols, and further. The following statement is from Chief of the League’s Police Force
Amaan land (essentially the head moderator):
I have been Chief of the League’s Police Force since February 2019 and throughout my tenure as chief all of my officers have always been quick to shut down any rule breaking behaviour. They are especially quick to shut down anything that breaks server rule 6 which states that harassment or hateful behaviour of any kind towards another server member will not be tolerated. We punish through the use of bot warnings and mutes. In addition to this my officers are also quick to shut down anything that breaks rule 7 which prohibits any content that will reflect our region and our community as a whole. Furthermore The LPF also has special protocols for certain server members who frequently break rules, in these cases the consequences (these are usually server mutes or temp bans) for their actions are more severe in order to try and deter them from breaking the rules again.
If there have been any lapses or errors in LPF enforcement, we would be happy to correct those. However, it is important to this region that our policies and environment are not lied about by those who do not know our community as well as the members and leadership within it. Recently, one official was accused of discriminatory and unprofessional behavior as part of some larger concerns raised by the public. That official was placed on a special moderation protocol and eventually resigned. We do not tolerate hate or other misconduct within our region. Greater Sacramento, the primary recipient of the behavior of the person in question, has offered a statement below:
I'm Greater Sacramento, I've been in this region on and off since the late summer of 2018 but have been here more prominently since the summer of 2019. Recently I was bullied for my faith, sexuality, and ethnicity in the League of Conservative Nations. He posted homophobic content which he supported as well as racist content that targeted me being Gay, Muslim, and Indian. I complained about this and the relevant authority gave him warnings for the first time but then he was punished and was then pressured to resign as a Consul as the community has no tolerance for actual hate speech.
The final position of the LCN is that we will not change our moderation policies as they do not allow for hate and toxicity within the region. We regret that the UDS chose to close embassies over a misunderstanding following a disingenuous conversation in which they judged our region before even discussing and hearing our explanations, but we do not intend to bend the knee for things which we are not guilty of. In particular, we wish to thank other regions for discussing this rationally and exhibiting fairness towards the LCN.
The LCN has always made a point of being opposed to hate and abuse on this platform, this is most obvious in our operations in opposition to Nagarno and Farkasfalka. We find it extremely unfortunate that this issue has been not only created almost entirely artificially, but additionally unfortunate that our region has been misjudged and that such skewed views have been purposefully disseminated in an effort to harm our reputation.
