Call of the Void is a private club that reserves the right to refuse any person the right to participate in our spaces - including our Facebook page, our Discord server, and our hosted events and games. A member may have their right to participate revoked if they are believed to be a threat to themselves, others, or the game’s community, or if their continued membership would cause harm to themselves/other members/the community. These determinations will be made in good faith, and with consideration of this private club’s goal of promoting safe space for members.
Removal of a member from Call of the Void is handled by staff and done through a voting process. Any staff member may call for a ban vote after a judgment has been entered on the conclusion of an investigation and/or its subsequent appeal. In the event of a ban vote being called, the details of any investigation(s) and/or appeal(s) will be made known to members of staff.
If a staff member is the subject of the report(s), investigation(s), and appeal(s) or has a known conflict of interest with circumstances or individuals involved in the ban consideration, they are expected to recuse themselves. Further, all staff members are obligated to disclose any conflicts of interest with the matter under consideration and are subject to penalty, up to and including removal from staff, if they fail to make such a disclosure. It is expected that staff members act within the best interests of the organization.
Once decided upon by staff, a ban will be announced to the member being banned as well as the Call of the Void community and the LARP community in the pacific northwest.
In rare cases, a member that has been banned through the Call of the Void investigation process may have their membership reinstated. If a removed member requests this, staff will again vote on the member's presence in the game community. The removed member must have a sponsor within the community willing to vouch for their corrected behavior in order for staff to consider a vote. During this process, staff will be granted access and be made aware of all previous reports and investigations and the full circumstances of that person’s removal. This vote will be held in consideration of the safety of the community and those affected by the previously banned member’s behavior. If after the vote, the majority of staff agrees to reinstate said membership, the member and the community will be notified. When a staff member votes, they certify that they have thoroughly reviewed and investigated all relevant information, and that their vote is being made with the safety and security of the community in mind.
Call of the Void maintains a pre-ban list of individuals who are not welcome in our community. As this pre-ban list of individuals have not been banned through the Call of the Void investigation process, they will not be allowed to appeal their ban. The pre-ban list has been compiled based on information shared from other games and LARP runners. This information has been deemed sufficient evidence to support the pre-bans from Call of the Void. Players do not currently have access to the ban list, but may reach out to the Game Runners to request if an individual’s name is on the list.
