Report a Concern

DC Spanking Network is committed to the safety of our members online and in person. If you have a concern about the behavior of someone in our group, please submit the form below.

​

What behavior can I report?

You can report anything that has made you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. This includes, but is not limited to, violations of our behavior standards. Examples: inappropriate comments, disrespect for boundaries, consent violations, etc.

​

What happens when I report?

The organizers will document and review your submission. They may reach out to you for further detail during their investigation. With your permission, they may reach out to witnesses if applicable. Once the review is complete, an appropriate action will be taken.

​

Will I stay anonymous? Will you inform the person I reported?

We will keep your identity and your inquiry private. If we need to speak with the person concerned in order to finish our review, we will request your permission first.

​

Will I get someone kicked out of the group?

Not necessarily. Smaller conflicts like talking too loudly at a munch can be resolved with compassionate feedback from the organizers. However, if we find something more serious, such as a consent violation, the person will be removed from the Discord server and barred from attending munches that we organize.

​

How long will it take?

We will do our best to respond in a timely manner. The complexity of the situation will influence how long it takes us to review.

​

I have a conflict with one of your organizers, so I don't want to submit the form. What should I do?

If you don't feel comfortable with all organizers seeing your submission for any reason, please reach out directly to an organizer you trust.

​

My concern is regarding someone well established in the scene. Will you take my report seriously?

We take ALL reports seriously, regardless of who they concern. We are committed to reviewing the facts rather than giving someone a "pass" because they are well known.
