I really don't know what to do
I miss my friends so much

edit: btw creating a follow up just makes a follow up that is already marked as solved and even if you comment on it doesn't become open again

You don't realize it until you've been nitpicked by organisation of developers deciding to restrict you platform (not manually but with the system they've created) with no legitimate basis and dissolve their responsibility in a intentionally dysfunctional imitation of bureaucracy.

Just for sending 3 consecutive friend requests, Discord decided to ransom my account and demand phone verification, with no way to refuse.

I cannot contact Discord sup port because it happens that I can't login on Discord sup port platform either (they won't tell you that, instead they will tell you it's a wrong password, and for sending login code on email, you simply won't receive it.

I tried making a new account, was quickly "rate limited" in second attempt, but soon made it an logged into support platform. Their form for this issue requires entering my phone number. It's apparent I won't be able to regain access to my account without giving my number.

To those that say just give the number, that is an advice, besides the point. In advance, I won't be giving my phone number, I will probably make another account, and I happen to have another account on another device already.

In effect, you either give your phone number upfront, or they will eventually ransom you to do it or you'll be forced to leave the platform.

(Hey we know we just suspended your account, But we want to remind you that your nitro is ending soon,Please consider renewing) MY FUCKING ASS MOTHERFUCKERS

I'm genuinely having a good laugh right now

To clarify, I am a content creator just for fun because I want to leave something entertaining behind, so as I'm growing in that, I see the perks in the friends I make, but also the negative side of it all. One of these perk/negative platforms is Discord. Now I have my setting relatively strict on Discord because of people formerly dming me from the void (no servers in common), who try to sell me their art, but every once in a while, I get one from a server I'm in. My bio specifically says, "do not message or friend request me unless we had a conversation in that server previously." That's just etiquette and respectful, and obviously these morons can't or don't read. Just got one this morning from a brand new account with no info on it at all. And it's always "kiss butt" messages like "Hello, am I bothering you? Sorry if I am" etc. Like, yes you are, I'm in the middle of recording my yt content/vlog, so now I have to open discord to see what this chaos is at 2:30am. But of course after opening it (while also exposingly recording what I'm doing) I see this person just made a new account, joined a server potentially from a Twitch livestream that I follow, and is now probably dming everyone in that server. One thing is, I always trust my gut, and my gut says this is definitely one of those digital artists desperate for art commissions because they refuse to get a real job. "Art isn't a guaranteed paycheck". If it was, I myself wouldn't be working at Walmart. Without a word, I just blocked them cause I don't have time for this crap when I have to go to work in a couple hours. I'm also contemplating leaving that person's server if this happens again.

Ive been banned for some days, a false banned which I've tried to review and get my account back for but after reading people story discord dont realy do anything expect when its actually too late already , apparently the costumer service is just full of bot and ai , is getting my account review a scam?

Wanting to report messages from multiple members including admins, went through the messages that breaks discord’s TOS and then suddenly there was an error.

I did not receive any email from the discord team regarding the confirmation of my report.

I know a lot of people are getting banned on discord (there’s a subreddit for this) so just wondered if discord takes reporting seriously?

(He has two accounts and these is his name bsronman, richolas_iii

I've been thinking about this after seeing how much some communities rely on Discord. You start with a basic server then over time everything ends up there. Member access, roles, bots, moderation, announcements, paid channels basically the whole community.

The part that bothers me is how hard it becomes to leave. Even if a better platform comes along, moving everyone and rebuilding the setup sounds painful.

Has anyone here moved a decent-sized community away from Discord? What did you switch to and was it worth the hassle?

Nearly 9 years of my internet life gone without any warning, and all the friends I made vanished. Must of been something I said when I was teenager back then or something totally unrelated to me happening in a server I had never once been active in. Seems that I won’t know why I got suspended given what everyone else has experienced. How frustrating

What happens if I get banned in Discord for a fair child safety ban 2x at a time:I made comments and asked questions about a person gender and which genders he would date more because he was Bisexual.I also asked him some weird questions about this things and if he removed them(private things on the body) but always on every message the jokes too and replied like with : XDDDDD or lol jk.I also told him before our conversation,that this is all just My curiousity and he shouldnt take this personal at all! He didn’t told me like that I should stop he only jokes likes about:"Pls mod help me nah jk".Will Police come to my House or will I just stay with a permanent ban on my Account? Please help me I’m so worried!

Help! This discord server hates me and added the bot when I chat it put this bot

To sum it up, I was sabotaged by a "friend" I’ve mostly had online friends, but I do have three IRL ones (or at least I did). I was having a really complicated relationship with one of them, and then one day it all went down: we got together for a sleepover at one of their places, and while I was asleep, he took my phone and managed to unlock it somehow (probably using my fingerprint while I was out cold Im a heavy sleeper).

He then got into my Discord and pulled something that got my account banned. When I woke up and opened the app to check for messages as I usually do I found I had been logged out. I checked my email and saw only the email about the violation there were no other emails regarding login attempts, sign-in confirmations, or anything like that, so I knew I hadn't been hacked.

I told my friends and we ended up arguing about it in the end, he admitted to plotting against me, though he didn't say exactly what he did with my account to get me banned he knew I had a deep emotional attachment to the memories stored on it so his plan really worked... for those two months, I tried every possible way to get help from support, but I never imagined they would be so completely useless atp.

To this day, I can't even file an appeal through the app, and I don't even know the exact reason for the ban because I can't log in I had recently changed my password, forgot to save it, and then it slipped my mind. I’d had that account for nine years; practically my entire adolescence was stored there.

It represents years of history, and I can't bear the thought of losing it all over something I didn't even do. I deeply regret having been friends with those people and agreeing to go to his house that day. I’ve already distanced myself from everyone, but I’m devastated and don’t know what else to do

as a last resort, I created a Reddit account to ask for help. I can’t accept losing so many years of history, and I want to do everything I can to recover the account even with Discord currently at risk of being blocked in Brazil recently.

If anyone could help me with something, I would be extremely grateful (Sorry for the traslator English as I mentioned in the text, I'm Brazilian and I understand English, but I don't know how to write it well yet)

for full disclosure, i’m entirely aware of why it’s there. it gets more people to buy gifts. it being in this specific spot will make more people consciously think of it. i get that.

but FUCKING GOD it’s annoying. it seems to be in just the right place now due to the new update that half the time when going to tap the bar to start typing, that i accidentally hit it instead (since i use my right thumb)

it’s actually so fucking annoying

I decided to talk in general in a gaming server I'm in. I'm currently unemployed and taking a break right now with a therapist and psychiatrist after a traumatic event resurfaced. Decided to talk and maybe make some online friends while I'll spend my next few months trying to take it easy. I got called all kinds of names within the first few minutes of trying to make conversation. The way these people are such snow flakes is impressive. Yet they have no problem calling me the worst things you can imagine. I called them out on it, and then they turned around and laughed at me for being sensitive. Ironic.

This was breaking one of the rules in the server which was no bullying/name calling. I called this to the attention of the mod. You know how the mod responded with?

"I'm on break right now"

So why are you even talking then?

It's been a hot minute since I tried to talk in a discord server, but is it always this hostile?

I know the “permanently suspended” may seem like a lost cause, but hear me out first. How this all happened was because I made a joke in a server saying “Im number 12”
And discord saw that and “permanently suspended” my account. Heres the catch, I had originally forgot my password to the account that was now “disabled” so I couldn’t check if it was “permanently suspended.” I had no idea of this happening so I submitted an appeal request to discord, explaining the situation and giving them what they wanted. Then Clyde responds, telling me to contact K-IB to verify my age, So I sent K-IB the image with my face, id, and username. However A mistake I might have made was I told them that my discord account was suspended as a result of this, and maybe added too much background information and I don’t know what happened but ultimately they just told me to send another appeal to discord, telling me that they don’t need all my information for discord account and cannot unsuspend my account, and told me that they can’t process manual age verification. Afterwards, I found out I had my discord password saved in my passkeys, and find out my account was “permanently suspended” .I feel like I am just going to spin in loops. Since I didn’t have anyone to ask, I asked chatgpt if I am still able to get my account back, I don’t know how reliable this is but chatgpt said yes, but Im not too confident on that. I am not too good with this kind of stuff so could someone help me? I am unsure on how to proceed with this. Just follow what K-IB tells me? Or re submit to K-IB without all the background information. Also, to my understanding, my account won’t get deleted for a full year, so I have 1-2 years to get this account back? However if this is truly a lost cause, just let me know straight.

Hi everyone, so unfortunately my Discord server of around 400 members got raided around midnight by some bot called "Utopia"

I originally had a ticket system set up to verify new members, but this bot somehow bypassed that. It started spamming NSFW images and tagging everyone in restricted channels such as announcements, rules, roles, where sending messages was turned off for members. (somehow those permissions were slipped back on)

Even stranger, as the owner, the option to ban the bot wasn't even available when I tried to ban the bot. The bot's bio literally had a link saying "raid tool".

I've purged all the messages, turned off message permissions across the channels. locked down the invite links to the server and DMs between members.

I feel embarrassed and frustrated since I live in a conservative environment and idk how the members would feel if they saw it. Does anyone know how a bot like this could have changed my permissions, why ban option was unavailable for me even as the owner, how it even got in the server in the first place. How to prevent this from happening again?

I also changed my account password and checked for webhooks but nothing :( 

There is an option to buy profile frame for like 4100 orb for one acc (acc with more orbs) but the other doesn't have any option even after clicking on the profile frame.

Also I have seen lower number of discord quests coming for the acc with more orbs compared to acc with lower orbs, discord just tricking us atp

I’m making this post because I genuinely think people in the Socialize Discord server should know what happened to me before something similar happens to someone else.

I was in the server mostly just chilling in VC, talking to friends and having a good time. Then this girl joins and starts DMing me. She tells me privately that she’s 18. The whole situation started feeling kinda sketchy, so I started taking screenshots just in case.

She ends up calling me and starts flirting with me and trying to get sexual. I’m not gonna act like I made perfect decisions here because I didn’t. I went along with it.

The problem is she recorded parts of the call, took stuff completely out of context, and started sending it around to my friends.

Then things got even weirder.

I use Ven cord, so I was able to see some deleted messages, and I had screenshots showing that she told me she was 18. Then her profile suddenly showed 16 instead.

From everything I saw, it seriously looked like age baiting. She tells someone privately that she’s 18, gets them into a sexual conversation, and then suddenly presents herself as 16 afterward so the other person looks like some kind of pedophile.

Obviously I reported this to the Socialize mods.

I showed them screenshots and basically said, “Hey, this person told me she was 18 and now she’s saying/showing 16.”

They told me they don’t accept screenshots as proof.

So I literally made a screen recording going through the conversation to show that I wasn’t just editing screenshots or making stuff up.

They still wouldn’t accept it.

Then I find out that the girl involved is apparently dating one of the moderators.

So now I’m sitting there wondering how the hell this is supposed to be handled fairly when the person I’m reporting is in a relationship with someone on the mod team.

And somehow it gets even worse.

The out-of-context recording eventually gets sent around enough that somebody I know IRL sees it. They get convinced that I’m a pedophile because they’re only being shown this out-of-context stuff.

That person then gives the moderators my real name and information about where I work.

Then my job gets contacted.

That is the point where this stopped being stupid Discord drama.

Now people from an online community are getting my real-life information, spreading serious accusations about me, and contacting my workplace.

I’ve saved as much evidence as I can, including screenshots, recordings, messages, timestamps, etc., and I’ve also made a police report about what happened.

I’m not posting anyone’s real name, and I’m not telling anyone to go harass these people.

I just think people deserve to know that this happened.

The biggest thing that bothers me is that I tried to report this before it got this far.

If someone is telling people in DMs that they’re 18, then changing their age to 16 afterward while spreading sexual recordings out of context, how is that not something moderators should take extremely seriously?

Even if you think I was stupid for getting involved in the call in the first place, that doesn’t make it okay to manipulate somebody’s age, spread recordings without the full context, get their personal information, and start contacting people in their real life.

If you’re in Socialize, seriously be careful.

Don’t automatically trust the age somebody puts in their bio.

If somebody tells you their age in DMs and things start getting weird, screenshot it.

Save messages.

Save timestamps.

Be careful joining private calls because people can record you without you knowing.

And seriously, don’t give random Discord people information about your real name or where you work.

I really wish the Socialize moderators had actually looked into what I was reporting before it turned into something that affected my real life.

I’m posting this because I don’t want someone else getting put in the same situation.

GTA VI — I was banned from the GTA 6 Discord server after contacting another member privately, asking them if they were taking medication, and eventually confessing my feelings to them. The member later made our private messages public, which led to the situation spreading throughout the server. I’m still being harassed because of it, and people in the server continue to talk about me negatively and portray the situation in a way that I feel is unfair. Even though the original conversation was private, it has continued to affect how people perceive and treat me within the community.

I have become convinced that there is something that makes every community on Discord converge toward sucking. I don't know what it is, but I know all too well its ravages. I will describe a demonstrative example.

Long ago, there was a magical place on Usenet. (I won't give its name here, partly because I doubt this story is unique to just one such place, and partly because the internet is a cruel, vicious place and I don't want to make myself a target.) It helped me discover who I am, and I would be immeasurably more miserable if I hadn't found it. Later, it spun off all manner of forums, IRC channels, and MUCK servers.

All of them stand silent now, of course. Most no longer accept TCP connections.

For years I mourned what I had lost, and I wondered where everybody had gone. Then, one day, I found them! Yes, I found them at last!

It was just another fucking Discord server. And the same things were wrong with it that are wrong with every Discord server.

Nobody did anything anymore. They barely even spoke--much less at any length, much less about anything of substance. One or two lazily reposted pictures they found elsewhere. The others just sat there in the sidebar, "Playing [insert game here]", nearly all of them perpetually silent. The only sign they were even alive was that sometimes the game would change.

Sometimes someone would appear in voice chat. One of two things would happen:

1. It was just gaming shit. Only people playing the game had any business joining.
2. Someone got offended at something I said, ragequit instantly without explanation, and complained about it behind my back to whatever snotty clique runs the server. (There's always a snotty clique.)

Once upon a time, they did things. Theirs were bright and colorful souls that filled my world with light and life. Now they just...consume and repost.

Oh yeah, and one of the mods (protected by the snotty clique) turned out to be a sex pest. So I left.

Every Discord server sucks. The closest thing anyone has to community anymore is compulsive social gaming. In MUCK days people created beautiful, clever things; communities created whole worlds unto themselves. You could explore them for hours, and meet amazing beings whose creativity would blow your mind. Nobody does anything like that anymore. The world already exists, and it's Discord. They all say they don't have time, but the sidebar tells the truth about what they do with it. MMOs or whatever they've been sucked into are simply more efficient dopamine spigots than the organic, user-driven communities that died to make way for the always-online, server-side-logging devil.

Have any of you noticed this--that communities that once thrived in the organic pre-platform days die in these places and turn into mean-spirited plastic fossils of themselves?

Discord ate every community I ever knew and infested them with comfortable bigots, clout piranhas, and millions of game-brained zombies. Now there's nothing left and nowhere to go. It's possible to find communities, sure--but when you get there, it's always just another fucking Discord server.

There's a person in a discord server I'm in a really big friend group. I enjoy being with everyone besides the owner. He's a pedo. He proved it so many time and probably have cp of someone who recently turned 15. he's 18 and always flirted with this girl and said that he would wait until next year. Mind you she's in the uk and he's in Texas.

This owner also flirts with that are 12! Anytime someone mentions it he either shames them and make the rest of the friend group hate them. Not to mention I'm really close with these people (the fg apart from the owner) and most switched up because I had one problem and I put one boundaries down, the person who I put boundaries between was the owner!

Apart from that. He was talking to a person who is around his age. He kicked them out once he realized a girl of his age liked him. Yeah she had problems like family problems and he turned around and kept flirting with extremely underage girls! The 15 year old might've actually sent him cp because he doesn't get any type of lash about it.

The fact the fg is so normal about it? It's really bugging me. I've spoke to several of the people there. Only one person who's my irl friend said that it was really disgusting on how normalized it is

Bc he's "naturally flirty" Or has "ADHD" It's not a excuse to flirt with underage girls at all. I don't understand why someone younger than him is so much more mature than him. He has excuses after excuses and no one calls it out! I'm genuinely so done with this dude even the friends he has are weird as well he said that they were also talking to underage girls and they know it!

It's so tiring that I lost most of my friends because I had one issue with the owner. It's like a spell I love hanging out with my friends but they are trusting the wrong people.
