CNC is negotiated fiction, not permission to ignore a real boundary. Agree on limits and a plain out-of-character stop signal before a scene. If somebody ignores one, leave and report it through
#report.
What CNC means in this room
People come to #CncLabz to discuss fantasies, find compatible roles, and write lewd roleplay or sexting scenes built around power exchange and fictional resistance. Consensual non-consent means participants agree in advance to simulate a non-consensual situation. The consent is real; the non-consent is part of the fiction.
Before starting, agree on:
- Roles and premise — who is writing what, and where the fiction begins
- In-scope acts — material both people actively want in the scene
- Hard and soft limits — excluded content and anything that needs a check-in
- A stop signal — a plain out-of-character word or phrase
- The closing check-in — how you will end and confirm everyone is okay
The room cannot negotiate for you
A channel topic, profile or previous scene cannot substitute for a direct conversation between the current participants. Moderators can enforce room rules and review reports; they cannot decide whether a specific scene is acceptable for you.
Do not claim that silence, hesitation or a character's in-scene response overrides an out-of-character stop. If the distinction becomes unclear, pause.
Curiosity is allowed; pressure is not
You may ask about terminology or watch a public discussion, but nobody owes you a demonstration, a scene or private instruction. Ask current participants before commenting on or joining a scene. Use #RpLabz for roleplay that does not centre on CNC themes.
When roleplay becomes a report
Use #report when somebody ignores an out-of-character stop, pushes past a stated limit, sends unwanted explicit material, or presents actual abuse as roleplay. Include the nicknames, approximate time and relevant messages. If there is immediate danger offline, contact the appropriate local service; IRC moderators cannot provide emergency response.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does CNC mean here?
- Consensual non-consent means adults agree in advance to roleplay a non-consensual scenario. The consent is real; the non-consent is part of the fiction.
How should limits be negotiated?
- Before starting, agree on roles, in-scope acts, hard and soft limits, a plain stop signal, and how you will check in afterward. Do not rely on a profile or an earlier scene.
Can I observe a scene?
- Ask the participants before commenting or joining. Being able to read a public channel does not make you part of a scene.
When should I report?
- Report when somebody ignores an out-of-character stop, pushes past a stated limit, sends unwanted explicit material, or presents actual abuse as roleplay. Include nicknames, time and relevant messages.
