Given the recent posts about CLFL showing up, I wanted to share a bit about my experiences in there. I am not replying to anyone, just simply sharing my own experiences.
The Clan wasnāt always a bad place. When I first joined, I joined at a bit of an awkward time, flowing from the sunrise and solaris drama so people were still on edge.
Everyone was friendly and they made me feel very welcomed. That was until things started changing over time.
I joined around August/September and left a few months ago. Everyone was very open and helpful. Especially their moderators.
I settled into the server and after a few months; things started changing. Mostly with the top three known moderators of that server; Kelpy, Typhon and of course Jax.
Typhon is naturally an asshole, and he will admit it as he has in the server previously, but sometimes Typhon canāt tell the difference between joking and genuinely hurting someoneās feelings.

They say it was a simple joke between two friends but the other party involved was very uncomfortable and upset by this remark. Sure, itās something simple, but a little thing can go a long way
I always believed these people were actually my friends, but they turned on me the very moment they had the chance.
Iām not disclosing this story as itāll reveal who I am and I would prefer to stay out of the spotlight as Iām going through some really challenging times in real life.
My other issues are with the ways they moderate. There is a role within the server called āWeenie Hut Jrā.
While itās a funny joke to hear about it, being in the role is intimidating. Thereās 3-4 bullies picking on someone in a private channel. I would say in this instance, it depends on what the user did wrong. If it was something serious, maybe they deserved it, but anything smaller feels like youāre being targeting and itās upsetting. Especially for people who have been emotionally abused and targeting before.
The way in which they moderator is extremely strict and they have downgraded severely since the time I joined to the time in which I left.
I had to leave the clan a few months ago because it was so degrading to my mental health and I stayed too long that I just couldnāt take the toxicity anymore.
I just couldnāt take the unnecessary drama that I constantly experienced in that server whether from the mods or from other users in it.
I am not posting this to tell you to stay away from it, Iām posting this as a warning in regards to how much the server will destroy you mentally.
