With more than 140 million monthly active members as of this writing, Discord has rapidly grown to become one of the leading platforms for instant messaging and digital distribution among gamers since its launch in 2015. It might be upsetting to have your Discord account suspended or banned, especially if you believe you didn’t deserve it.
If you didn’t do anything wrong, don’t accept losing access to your account; instead, exercise your right to challenge the suspension or ban and get it lifted. Using DoNotPay to appeal can be more successful than doing it yourself because of the legal pressure we place on businesses.
We’ll walk you through every scenario that could have happened if you’re interested in learning how to tell whether you’ve been banned from Discord.
Decoding Discord Ban Types
You can receive one of two kinds of bans from Discord:
- Ban on servers
- Ban on platforms
How Can a Discord User Be Banned?
Users are tracked by Discord:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- the user’s username
Even if you alter your username, you won’t be able to register a new account from your device if Discord bans your IP address.
You can sign up for Discord and regain access to a server you were barred from by getting a new IP address. In these situations, make sure to make a brand-new username, as using one that is similar to your old one might reveal your identity.
Why Have You Banned My Discord Account?
The Terms of Service (ToS) or Community Guidelines are the primary grounds for bans on Discord. Bans may be either temporary or permanent, and the business may close your account:
- any moment
- For whatever cause
As stated in its Terms of Service, Discord is not required to give you any prior notice before closing your account. You will lose all information connected to your account after the termination, including Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods. The business is not required to pay you for it.
How To Avoid Being Ban From Discord
If you don’t want to get blacklisted, avoid taking the following actions:
- Other users being made fun of, mocked, stalked, threatened, harassed, abused, libellous, or intimidated
- acting in ways that are harmful to Discord and other users, or that are unlawful, fraudulent, or other
- Uploading and sending files that are contaminated with malware, such as cancelbots and other similar programmes,
- engaging in any other behaviour that might harm the functionality of Discord or the computers of other users
- Using, publishing, disseminating, and sending any information made available by Discord in a way that violates a patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret is considered violating intellectual, private, and contractual property.
- attempting to obtain other users’ passwords and other confidential information.
- Making bogus reports through support channels to Discord
- creating, disseminating, or disclosing to third parties software applications or programmes that are in contravention of the relevant licence agreements
- exploiting, disseminating, and making known to the public game flaws or vulnerabilities that provide players an unfair advantage
- breaking any rules or laws that may be in place
- advocating or promoting any criminal conduct, including hacking, the distribution of falsified software, cheats, or other illicit activities
- Discord retains the right to determine which of your actions infringe on the Terms and Community Guidelines and to take appropriate legal action.
How to Determine if a Discord Server Has Banned You
It’s conceivable that you have been banned if you see that the invites have expired or aren’t functioning. Using the best vpns for torrenting and IP address to see if the link has expired there as well is the most reliable way to determine whether this is the case.
How Do I Unban My Discord Account?
You should visit Discord’s Support page and submit your appeal if you want to get your account unbanned. The action you must take is:
- Under the What can we help you with heading, select Trust & Safety.
- the address of your email.
- Under the How can we help question, pick Appeals, Age update, or other queries.
- From the drop-down option, choose Appeal an action done on my account or a bot.
- Insert a subject
- Describe the situation.
- Include attachments (optional)
- select the “Submit” button.
This process takes a lot of time, and there is a much simpler approach to challenge the ban’s ruling. By registering with DoNotPay, you can give us less than five minutes to file an appeal letter on your behalf.
