Who is behind SoftNet?
So 1 other server we track and SoftNet both publish a sftn.eu hostname, so one operator probably runs them.

What rules does SoftNet enforce, and what settings does it run?

You can fight and raid other players. The server browser puts it under Community: it is a community server. The server says it is vanilla: untouched rates, kits and rules: the game exactly as Facepunch ships it. VAC is on.
