Introduction

This is the official Impact Report of the LG team in response to the Draft Proposal entitled: “Unban JRB from CU Discord.”

As the writer of this proposal requested further clarity into the nature and reason behind the banning of Discord user JRB#6048, this document was written to cater to their concerns. We hope that this document will assist the DAO members to determine the next steps to take with this proposal.

Crypto Unicorns Discord Community Rules

The current copy of the Crypto Unicorns Discord Community Rules can be accessed by going to the 👋┃welcome channel and clicking the Rules button under Server Info. Community members are able to access the rules at any time. Below are screenshots of the current rules for documentation purposes.

Discord Server Community Rules

Some notes:

• The written rules are unremarkable and the standard for Discord servers. Objectively, there is no specific rule that is unusual or difficult to follow.
• These rules are enforced and interpreted with the community’s growth and enjoyment in mind.
  • For example, for the rule of Toxicity and Cursing, a user may still be found guilty of Cursing another member even if they do not use a conventional curse/swear word. It is important to view cases with context and intent, especially due to the multicultural nature of Discord.
• Punishments and Rules are intentionally worded in a simple manner to be understandable to the majority of the community. The implementation of these is up to the discretion of the Community Management team on a case-to-case basis.
  • Generally, the CM team and Mods try to be lenient on active community members so as to assume innocence.
  • However, the above is not a right afforded to the members of the community and is only up to the discretion of the CM team and Mods.
• Notably, there are no rules that state that warnings, reasons, or temporary bans are necessary before a complete ban.
• It is up to the community member to behave in a manner that befits the rules if they truly do not wish to be punished.

Infractions & Documentation

The writer of this proposal wrote: “It is not the purpose of this proposal to investigate in minute detail what has happened.” We agree with this statement and believe that privacy and respect should be afforded to Discord Users, even after they have been banned. This is the reason why normally, bans can only be appealed and discussed by the banned user themselves via Zendesk.

However, the discussion of this proposal is directly affected by explanation and proof, so it is unavoidable that some user information will be shared. In consideration of these points, similar infractions have been grouped together for brevity and clarity.
