- Tons of innocent Discord users are getting banned for no reason at all. What gives?
Well believe or snot, Discord's 100% existing Trust and Safety team are at it again with their abysmal support. Randomly banning you for a message you sent probably months ago. But if you're a goodie two shoes, this shouldn't happen. BOOM CONTEXT BABY. Discord's T&S team are the best at avoiding any context and banning people for something as simple as saying 12. As long as the person reporting you is creative enough to twist your words into something that could be passed off as something breaking the TOS, you could be in trouble.
So listen up soldiers as I tell you what to do and then also listen while I proceed to explain T&S and bash on it.

SO uhh since people missed it, I'll put it here. Getting someone to say 12 on discord wont get them banned. However sleuthing through messages and using them out of context can and has gotten people banned. Make a joke that you are -7? Banned. Maybe a poor use of an fictional example to ease you into the topic, my bad.
CORRECTIONS:
Also apparently Discord support is outsourced, TnS is in-house. Still pathetic that people are being left out to dry (and yes, some people do deserved to be banned and are trying to say they are being ignored by TnS)
Amazon is also a mixed support system. Not fully outsourced, some in house Amazon support employees and some outsourced employees.
funny as hell I just got this recommended to me and you posted this lmao
NTTS PLEASE HELP ME both of my friends accounts got banned from this 😭 what do i do
@@starvrgt you are a terrible friend.
I have people with nude photos of their dicks as their profile and I've reported them multiple times and their accounts were never deleted here is an example copy this developer ID and look at his profile 459427292372926465 this guy has been reported multiple times over the last 6 months
kind of wondering, what stops people from using discord in chrome or any other device and use inspect element? Just screenshot that considering that they don't monitor your messages at all.
So Discord won't ban people that blatantly has "I am 12 years old" on their bios, but they'll ban people for this. Great platform, lovin' it.
It's because they literally don't use bios with discord trust and safety 😂
@@ElisAridthat's the issue.

I swear Discord is slowly getting worse and worse each morning.
This has been a thing since 2020, i've been doing it since way back then just to troll my friends, but in this YT video hes lying about not being able to appeal, you still can appeal without any problem.
What can you expect from an app made by furry devs? 😂

@@kazimuru yea but that requires you to dox yourself infront of the discord staff
@@falco5148 banning people sure makes a lot of money
I still stand by the fact that discord ban appeals are HORRIBLE. I got banned 2 years ago for "participating in a raid" while unknowingly joining a server in the same time period other people were "raiding" it. Literally had no involvement, but they didn't care and wouldn't even let me speak to a real person. I've never heard of discord appealing a perma-ban.
One time a gay guy got banned because homophobes raided a server he was in. And the actual homophobes got off with a warning about being in the server.
I was also banned just for being in a server for WatchRedditDie, along with everyone else in it.
@@crystalvulpine2314wdym watchredditdie?
You know discord is at its peak when youtubers are literally making videos on how to ban people 💀💀💀

With how little respect discord has for people's privacy you'd think they would already know half these bans are false.

Yeah i got banned i didnt got the reason why but my account was literally terminated
@@Dadreamingmonkey999When I got terminated they said “According to this user you broke the rules”
So you don’t Know yourself if I actually broke the rules?!?
Having to send a photo and ID is a terrible idea with how many people are old enough for Discord yet under the age of 18, like that's literally just asking minors to send pictures of themselves to this huge company that probably won't even do anything even with that.
how would you check if they are not really under 13 or what other age is in their country ?
all the dwarfs out there getting ruined by discord's awful support..
This feels like something that could have been something discord genuinely needs to combat the predators, but it’s such a poor way of handling it that it’s just going to be a problem.
This is absolutely discords fault 100%. No user shouldn't even have to worry about this at all.
they don't. this is false information, discord can see edit history.
@@somepersonlol4t34 i got my account banned thrice over the past 5 years, all false, all appeals got ignored by support, lost entire years of data i stored in DMs.
the funniest part is that the last ban came from me reporting a server that hosted CP. when i did so, discord literally just sent a warning to the server owner, saying they have to stop letting children post naked pictures of themselves.
when i saw that did nothing, i thought about exposing them, and the person i was talking to about it reported me. which got me banned. i got banned for trying to expose a server owner condoning CP.
the worst thing is when they ask you for message IDs that are inside your DMs from the disabled account. wtf are you supposed to do???
you really think they give a shit about the edit history? they completely ignore 99% of the information they receive. they don't even use basic logic. they don't give a single shit.
@@somepersonlol4t34 that's the point. It looks like they ignore it. Probably if someone reports you they will just go "ok" and auto ban you without checking
@@japaengliss1544 but they don't, it's just echo chamber of bullshit from a dumbass who doesn't do research and jus listens to his 10 year old viewers who rightfully got banned for admitting they're 10
I got banned today by discord for “being underage”, right after this video came out. Last time I remember saying anything related to “underage” is me saying I was 3 years old about 2 years ago
This is such a Discord Trust and Safety moment. Banning people who are literally innocent for made up reasons but then all those scammers and other people actually doing malicious stuff never get touched in any way.
About more than a year ago some people i know were joking about being like 1 year old and guess what? They got banned.
I accidentally disabled someone else's account while trying to report another. I don't know how but the mf checking the was so dense he banned the SIXTEEN year old account instead of the ELEVEN YEAR OLD who had snuck into the server.

Great Responses If Somebody Says Something Like This.
As someone who has literally gone through this, just happened a couple days ago I admit; it sucks. But the whole stages of grief thing was spot on. I just accepted at the end and made a new account, because honestly I didn't care that much cause I had so much servers and random stuff all in it so starting fresh isn't that bad. I literally had to go on TWITTER to get a response out of them because at that point I swear they just ignore you lol, Discord had ZERO respect for their members and they show that greatly in support.
Context of why I got banned? Someone said the words "Im have 11 years"
I jokingly said the exact same thing, and got banned
What if I had 11 years to live Discord?🤯
damn, never knew there could be a worse moderation and support system than the one roblox had, but discord completely crushes that milestone
Fr
Wildcard for ARK is bad, but this is even worse too
the one okay thing about discord is literally the fact that its. a chatting platform. roblox literally can't decide if they wanna have 13 plus vc or 18 plus. got suspended yesterday for saying shit lmao
For real i thought discord was better. But it sounds just like roblox when you get your account falsely deleted.
DOORS
I have had an open ticket to Discord support for three months, and another ticket that’s been open for 19 days as of writing. I have received no response whatsoever. These tickets aren’t reporting minor issues either, these are reports of serious issues involving people using their platform for illicit activity and the potential harm of the people around them; Discords neglect here is abhorrent.
remember when they were actually cool

@@hiddenguy67 yes, unfortunately

@@jerryplayz101 Already tried, told them to get in contact with Discord for more information, doesn’t seem like anything happened.
No way, i just got banned for being underage when I am not a few hours ago and to see you posting this video just made me lose faith on getting my account back :/
This reminds me of an experience i have with their support team.
I reported a server owner because they were underage and sharing explicit images of themselves. A bit after i reported it i left the server. Its been almost 3 years since that happened, still no response.
To be clear i sent them tons of screenshots of the conversations about the situation but they didnt even respond.
For context the server was masked as an LGBT support type of server but was actually a match making platform with people sending nude pics of themselves on the daily.
Aka the only way to avoid being banned, discord thinks "guilty by association is valid" so you're forced to report the server and leave instantly afterwards or else you get banned on the spot, aka just let it happen and dont bother speaking up, cause their "trust and safety team sucks is not safety oriented at all.
1:59 Protip: Instead of saying “No, I’m underage” to that, make a sentence that would make r/increasinglyverbose proud. “No, I happen to be unable to consume alcoholic beverages because I happen to be below the legal age to drink alcohol in the united states, which is 21.”
That's the best way to speak

1 or 2 years ago me and my friends were constantly reporting a guy we know who harrasess/harrased really underaged girls. We had proof from everywhere, we even sent it to them, but instead of taking action and start investigating they just ignored us. They never answered, or never answered any usefull. Idk what's the guy is doing now, but it's really frustrating that he got away with it.
is he banned now? Or is he still on discord
Is there any chance that you can still forward all of it to the authorities? That is if they can help you with that.

@@danielotano8677 he may have been talking about irl and not discord, but even if he was, it wouldnt matter if underage kids were allowed on discord or not, it's still very morally wrong.
ive been banned for doxxing pedophiles (boo hoo) on a few alt accounts, but the pedophiles i reported were never banned
I had a horrible experience with discord. One time my account was disabled for some security reasons as they thought I violated TOS, and it took me around 5 months to get my account back... Although for the people scared of losing their account, im not sure if it was because my account was pretty old or had nitro, my account info wasn't deleted. They really need to fix their support. Tbh i feel like this video would promote people banning others but at the same time I hope this video reaches to discord and fixes their stupid system
My account was from 2016 and they didn't care, and deleted my account for being in a server that unknowingly raided other servers. It's too late to get it back now.
That what happened with me today Buddy I woke up and saw a email which shook me entirely
" hello this is discord you have been caught violating our terms we cannot verify if ur 13 pls verify ur age" my acc is disabled for now
I filed a age update request the moment after I mailed them my documents which proves I'm 16 I had a server with 10k members I had 1 year nitro on it like i spent actual money on it if I won't get my acc back in a month or so I'm leaving discord forever this platform sucks and I ain't spending even a single penny on discord from now on I'll make a video abt this tommorow hopefully a discord staff will see this.
5:24 “But it seems like Discord is constantly overwhelmed”
“Just like me frfr”
“Discord” is a very very fitting name for this app
This is the only instance where I actually felt real ''Discord'' because I myself have been an admin of some community enabled servers in the past that weren't necessarily super strict with rules and whatnot, they still have rules still but they were never clearly defined or too strictly moderated, so the example in the video is sort of scaring me now and I literally have to warn everyone about it in the case that the members or staff some of them might risk getting banned (even if they aren't breaking any of the rules or ToS/Guidelines, since what I got from the video is that it can also be indirectly caused by other users reporting/other users message and activity and the server not being able to enforce those rules)

an easier way to get someone banned is to somehow get them on one of your servers and do something against tos like for example a channel called "racist memes" and then give them admin and transfer the server to an alt and report the server. The server gets deleted and all admins on it get banned and there is no support to appeal
This happened to me. Got my account disabled for being "under the age of 13." Long story short, I got ghosted by support for 16 days before they decided to reply and enable my account. I wish they wouldn't just randomly ban for no reason.
Let the servers ban, or the people block, and discord shouldn’t ban until they have investigated the report.

I got hacked a while ago and I obviously sent a ticket to discord support, they had the ticket opened but ignored me. It took them 3 WHOLE MONTHS to respond the tickets and to say: "your account is not available at the moment" because the hacker got termed with my account. ✨ Discord ✨
don't get hacked npc don't click links or anything
I got crossfire banned 5 years ago for "threatening to share a user's info". Basically what happened was a raid in a friend's server and they got revenge doxxed; I wasn't even on discord at that time so I only learnt about what happened on the server hours later, reports for the doxxers were sent, buuut instead of only the guys getting banned, ANYONE that just happened to be in the server (including me) got nuked by Discord. They didn't restore my account even though I had proof I did nothing, so that was an unnecessary L for my 2016 account, gotta love it
this literally happened to me about 5 years ago, i was still in highschool and my account got completely banned because some random dude didn't like a game which i had a community server for, it took me 3 months to make a new account since i was optimistic about getting the account reinstated but it never happened and it took an aditional year to get ownership of the discord back.
this has always been a thing and i hate discord for it, as soon as another platform shows up where i can easily share screen and have group chats as easily as discord i'm switching to it in a heartbeat
its crazy because im a discord PARTNER and i've never even mentioned being underaged or anything literally got banned and i have no way of actually contacting the partner people at discord because my account is deactivated...
Discord should investigate some of the reports themselves instead of relying entirely on message links
Yes

@@realabusivedad cia glow in the dark moment

There are server bots that will detect message edits and log it in a separate channel, why can't Discord support do the same here?
The thing is that some people were so funny and thought it would be a good idea to write in that they are 9 or something. 💀
There were server-own rules that made it clear that such type of messages lead to a permanent exclusion.
even saying a number under 13 out of context can get you banned.
It’s pathetic how people falsely report your account just because they don’t like you. And it’s really pathetic how discord doesn’t do anything about this. It’s very frightening as well as anyone can do this at any time with no warning.
That's the best part of face to face talking. You can swing when they even try to pull that kind of shi

Discord's trust and safety team actually is awful. It is so unfair that people are getting banned unfairly for being underage, while there are people who don't get banned when they are actually underage. It is frustrating that Discord can only investigate if you have a message link, because then they can't investigate bios. This is an issue since someone's bio can break the TOS or say they are below 13, and Discord does absolutely nothing about it.
i reported someone for posting illegal adult links and it took them 15 tickets and 9 months to ban them. for actual illegal content.
It's also unfair because a lot of times it will get the whole server banned instead of just that person, including you and everyone else in it. They say not to join servers that might get banned, but also that you have to in order to report them?
@@crystalvulpine2314 god i hate this north korean system of "one person fucks up, everyone gets punished" discord uses.

legit just allow people under 13. Problem solved.
Suggestion:
Don't make it so the user only has 14 days to get their account back at all. Make it "You have 14 days to submit a ticket."
Puts some pressure off the user and staff.
Honestly, a really good suggestion. Those who don't care will just automatically get deleted after 2 weeks, and the ones who want to appeal get to (hopefully) be better investigated. And because there isn't a time sensitive pressure, the support team won't be spammed (as much) by people getting frustrated that discord is letting their personal account get deleted because they're too lazy to read the appeal within those 2 weeks. Of course there'll probably still be cases where discord will take a full month to reply to you, and well, idk if those workers who just check off a ticket without looking at it once would change.. But at least you'd have less people angry with you for unfair bans/deletions, and instead just people mildly annoyed with your time incompetence. Plus, what better motivation is there than having discord breathe up your neck because "if the tickets continues to be unsolved, there'll be too many usernames that become unavailable". Like imagine someone grabs a rare username, then gets reported, and suddenly no one can ever get it again because support won't solve the case? Hilarious
The thing is Discord's infrastructure has no legal hold capability. Deletions are traceless.

That is literally why it has these problems, if it didnt have thousands of thousands of people complaining every day maybe it wouldnt be so hard to keep up and figure out whats legit whats not
its a general problem with big companies just switch to small ones
They should make it so that when you report someone they look at previous versions of that message including the one it is in response to to see if they are actually underage. If they don’t do that maybe send an email asking to prove if they are not underage.
As someone who has worked at amazon for years. The CS is not 100% outsourced. They do sometimes use 3rd party staffing to initially hire, but I would say the majority end up being full time blue badge (aka permanent) staff. This goes for both in the US and abroad.
Someone got Ignored for 20 days straight? This is despicable.
I got ignored for nearly a f**king MONTH straight at 24 days of being ignored. Not only that but my ticket was reporting someone who sent me a sped-up, uncensored and perfectly replayed gif of Ronnie Mcnutt's... Video... and a clip of the two ukrainian soldiers being shot in that ditch/foxhole
I submitted my ticket on April 15th. They got back to me on May 9th... After this user that sent me those gifs had used an auto-deletion script to fully delete every message she had sent me over the past year. Pathetic.
Okay I'm sorry this is off topic I had no idea who Ronnie was and oh my god!!! The first thing that comes up on encyclopedia dramatica about him is truly disgusting. How is that website allowed to say stuff like that??
This is why you take receipts and send in screenshots + Message links to prove that the message existed, a;lso, I feel like once a message is deleted, Discord still has that data, at least for a little while, and SHOULD be able to confirm it. Hindsight tho.
@@Kyosumari nope. even if you have a screenshot and a message link, if the message it's self is deleted, it is not stored and thus discord does nothing. i have tried this before to get a pedophile TEACHER banned, screenshots and message links, but because he deleted all his dms discord didn't do anything.

This whole trust and safety stuff is a huge portion of the reason I'm hoping every day for a IM platform to pop out of nowhere and overthrow Discord. I don't know why but every single IM platform always starts off fantastic then goes so downhill that the users start begging for a alternative.
Happened with Skype. Happened with Kik.
Snapchat's in a weird spot.
And Discord is not heading there quite yet (we all are definitely still in the vocal minority) but they are getting close to heading there.
I mean Snapchats support is truly laughable and does even less than Discords somehow. I think Snapchat is just in that weird space because everyone that uses Snapchat has kinda just accepted that it's a completely unprotected app where you cant report people. So everyone just kinda knows that you should only add people you know and trust, you turn off the option of random people being able to get you recommended or send you messages, and you keep to yourself. But it works out because you're able to have an "enjoyable experience" by just keeping to yourself.
Discord just doesn't really work the same? Like it feels extremely bland if you keep to yourself, you're almost constantly reminded of what you're missing out on, and you're not allowed to just "watch" different servers without risk. So when things like support, that is supposed to help you when these risks eventually happen, slowly decline, you feel it even harder. Discord had the benefit at least that if you were wrongfully banned or whatnot, it wasnt too hard getting the same name and re-unite with friends, but uhhhhh.. yea. More complicated future usernames + less support + less server security + more unjustified auto-bans + barely acknowledging your users anymore definitely changes the direction downwards

The one time I contacted Discord support for an account related manner, it took 3 months, yes.. 3 MONTHS. Out of all the times I've contacted support at any company, I've never seen a response time this long, especially for compromised or banned accounts, usually the worst is a few days. Discord is really starting to lose a lot of it's integrity now, what a shame.
I had a stalker and impersonator on discord a few years ago, and Discord acted very fast on banning his account. My experience was positive, but that's a shame that it seems that the support isn't as great as it once was.
Fun Fact, in a server I used to Admin we got a notice from Discord saying to Delete our #introductions channel or the server would be deleted of 15k members
The cause, a 16 y/o had edited their preexisting introduction to state they were "interested in relationships"
What the fuck is wrong with that? I don't understand

This happened to me and the entire staff team on a server I moderate like 2 years ago lmao. We had to make alts and hide our mains until the false reporting stopped. Only half of us were able to get out accounts back but I ended up just using my alt as my main after using my alt account for 2-3 months at that point before the disabling stopped on our server
It’s a huge problem how unresponsive they are when you HAVE to get a response back within a month or your account is permanently deleted. Like maybe just don’t DELETE people’s account after one month when you have a shitty support team.
@@yoshifet8666 whats so dumb about discord account deletion process is they dont even remove the content you posted on your account, they will just anonymize your account and theres no way for you to request discord to remove your content, such a mess
As a person who jokingly said that I was 7, I got banned for it and I can confirm this bs.
that is kindof on you though, do not joke about being underage because others cant magically know your'e joking, but yeah it was discord support's fault as well for banning (assuming you went through the appeal process)
@@rasp148 The thing is, I was joking with my friends who actually know what I look like and my age. I would've agreed with you if it had been on a public server. I do however agree with your point and wish that I had known that.
@@rasp148 Also since COPPA are punishing more and more platform with poor child safety in order to force them to meet the COPPA's minimum child safety standards, you basically can not make a joke about being underage anymore
same here, replied to someone with "oh what, i'm gonna say i'm 7 and get banned" (didn't believe them)
long story short i got an email saying my account was disabled. yippie
NAH BRO SAME , i myself said i’m seven and it was to my friends who obviously know i ain’t no seven year old
I also encountered such account disabling, but at the same time I do not recall writing something like that about age. It was an unpleasant birthday surprise, when i turned 22... Well, the support response... I had to wait 9 days. It was quite unpleasant. Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem with false bans somehow.
Because losing an account because of such an error is very painful and unpleasant.
This happened to me back in February. I sarcastically said I was 10 (I'm 20) and my account got suspended a week later. Based on some of the stuff said in this video, I guess I was lucky to get my account reinstated within 48 hours. Still took longer than it should have.
What's funny is Discord still let me use the alt account system, so I just switched to my secondary account like nothing ever happened
This threatens me a good bit. I'm 20. I sound like a damn child, and this worries me. I don't look like an adult too much either
You shouldn't need to worry, especially if you signed up after you turned 13. I'm 22 and I signed up when I was 15
@@idaparakila I'm 22 too and to be fair Discord didn't exist when we were 13 lol
SAME. OMFG SO MUCH SAME. I constantly get told I look 13-16 and don't sound much better. I'm turning 20, I've been on discord since 2017, so it's actually a bit iffy for me. That's even scarier bc I have literally 6 years worth of very important messages with my gf I can't imagine losing my discord
Thankfully I basically talk to no one else on there so I hope I'll be good
mainstream company moderation js basically russian roulette
@@idaparakila Oh sh!t im 12 rn and in a month ill turn 13 man and i made my alt like less than a week ago i should've made waited man :( and my mains gone too :)
This is what happened to me exactly a month ago but I was able to get my account back thankfully. God that was an absolutely traumatic experience, half a decade of my online existence could’ve possibly been wiped within 2 weeks..
Fr i’m glad you got it back, that would’ve been terrible
Dude I couldn't imagine being in that situation. I have so, so many important messages with my girlfriend spanning 6 years on there, so many pictures and stuff I'd never be able to find again. I couldn't do it
How long did it take for them to respond? I'm going through this process right now. I sent them my ID and everything just currently waiting for a response. It's only been like 2 days but all these horror stories about support has me really worried I wont be able to get my account back.
@@Windy- It took them 4 days to respond iirc. I really hope they do eventually get back to you as they did for mine.
i remember when I got my account deactivated for "sharing information" of another user, something like that. Yeah it took like a month for them to reactivate it, and they never ever gave a clear reason to my deactivation.
Don't worry, i waited for support from discord for 2 years regarding comments to my mother regarding terminal illness. Congrats discord, really doing a good job
I once was falsely accused of being underage on another social media site. They asked for a photo of me holding up a piece of paper, that old schtik, and I never got a response. Not everyone looks their age.
0:28 and now people purposely fail math questions on discord because that's actual code for age checks.
Twice. Twice this has happened to me. If Discord's HQ burns down I'll be the #1 celebrator.
Discord when I report actual grooming and pedo activites: "Block them lol"
Discord when someone reports me for saying 12: "Real Shit"
nah, what they would do is ban _you_ for even associating with the people reported
the reason they ask for message links is so they can get the message JSON. yes, you can get the JSON of an about me, but its harder to get if you dont know what you're doing (this is exactly the case with the Trust and Safety team)
This is why i try to be as detailed as possible when i respond to questions, so i can't get my messages taken out of context and robbed of my account...
I remember when I needed to change my 2FA cause I traded my phone in without transferring my 2FA codes and the email reset wasn’t working, they made me wait like 2-3 weeks just to tell me “we can’t do anything, so better make a new account”. I literally told them the issue as clearly as possible. Then like a week or two later it just fixed itself.
I know a few mates who didn’t even say age at all and where referring to a game and got banned for it, they had to appeal with ID and face revealed
the worst part of all of this is that the bad actors don't have attachments to their accounts. they just create more.
7:12 Just so you know, it's saying that the data associated with your account after being *deleted* will be removed after 14 days. You can have a disabled account for longer than that ( I'm 90% sure ). I remember my account being disabled, making a ticket, and getting my account back in around a month or so.
it takes 14-30 days to delete
I've had my own fair share of troubles with discord - I used a school email to sign up, and then my school's IT system changed and discord's automated emails no longer worked with my school account (for some reason - still not sure why).
I've since graduated, and even though I have both a phone number linked and 2FA enabled I still can't use those for verification for changing my email - discord just says to "please contact your email provider to regain access" to your old account.
"how old are you?"
"There Are 12 eggs in a dozen"💀
A little additional note; Discord *still ignores your ticket* (appeal or report) even if you provide them with message link or evidences and no matter how strong they are. You will end up in an automated decline message at any time
There's nothing much we can do since Discord is both deaf and blind to their users regardless if you support them for a long time
STOP. USING. DISCORD.
discord when there are pedophiles on their platform: 😴
discord when there are 12 eggs: 😳
I actually said how many eggs are in a dozen in one of my servers and someone replied with the number, then their account actually got disabled and now they are trying to dox me and I am in a lot of drama right now because of it 💀
this happened to me. they appealed the ban in a day but it really sucked
Discord support is like a Pandoras Box. It can either be really good or really bad. Maybe a bit of both.
Like they did ban the user who hacked me, responded the day of, and all that. But I had to gather tons of message links, and they couldn't recover any deleted servers and shit.
Yikes, massive oversight that could be easily fixed. Cache the data/text from the original message, check if message was edited and at what time, cross reference that with both the person responding and the message before editing and you can clearly tell that they don't deserve a ban. Simple.
You would think this is a thing. I tried to report something to discord a little while ago and they asked me for message IDs and channel / server IDs when I had obviously left the server it was happening in, even though I had already reported it by right clicking
That's for reminding me to back up my mutual's convos. ❤
This might sound crazy, but I have an idea for Discord's moderation system: When an employee on the team opens a reported message, there should be a BIG RED FLAG on any message that has been edited. It should show them all previous versions of the message, as well as WHEN they were modified. All message timestamps should be super obvious and easy to read.
Perhaps they could even have a simulated message replay where it shows the messages show up in a log in the order they were posted, with all edited versions appearing at the timestamp they were modified.
I was banned 4 years ago for no reason after my server was raided, Discord refuses to give me support AND provide me with my data. (I was a Discord Partner, yet NO SUPPORT)
i think its hilarious how in modern society we do not have a proper support regarding your issues on *any* platform. discord doesnt care who you are, microsoft support just doesnt care about you and your account being hacked at all because it happens like a gazillion times a day, hypixel (the biggest minecraft server) cant even *read* ban appeals for their server, they just auto deny them and so on. this is an absolutely massive issue *everywhere* and i feel like there has to be something we can do about this.
I wish there was. But as long as green paper with faces and flat metal circles exist... Yeah
companies just dont give a shit
@@duzixon2794 facts
bro fr, hypixel's moderation as well as their support team is SO FUCKIN BAD
I don't get their idea of requiring an ID for proof of identity. Not only is it a compromise of your privacy and security, but it also does not work for users who do not have a federal ID unless school IDs work instead. But even then, having your face and name associated to your discord account, especially if youre 13-18 should be illegal to demand of.
i agree it’s so stupid i feel like it’s there way of quick data mining xd
this happened to a couple of friends of mine after an old friend joined the server and decided to go rogue. one of the bans we managed to appeal successfully but the other one is gone forever. sad considering they bought nitro a couple of days prior
I can already see people abusing this after the new username update to ban people with rare usernames
What I don't get is how it's possible to get someone banned for out of context quotes. When reporting you add the message link so it would be possible for them to see the actual messages.
If it was really as easy as sending a screenshot in for a ban, then you could simply use html editing on chrome to make fake messages from a person look very real.
they cannot see the original message if it's been edited
@@UJustGotGamed that sounds like a extreme safety problem on discords part
@@UJustGotGamed For some reason I don't believe this is true
@@dogwortthey can't see messages which are deleted either, so at this point i dont know what to believe
7:02 screenshotting the profile and then sharing the message link of that screen shot:💀
This happened to me last year, and it was even off platform, but I somehow still got banned. I hate Discord so much after that
I remember getting like- banned from discord for ‘being underage’ even though I’ve never told anyone what my age even was besides my closest friends.took a while to even get the account back too so ☹️
I’m not showing you my birth certificate
the 5 stages of grief got me 😭

@@kyrocopter i’m just saying man………………….
this video gave an idea to a group of people that made me and a lot others get banned so thank u :)
i can second this about support team, I sent them a DMCA takedown with a 15 minute video of proof. They said “we cant help you due to lack of *proof*
As someone who's felt the wrath of scummy or at least somewhat questionable mods with TOO much power on TOO many servers, I sincerely hope the creators of Discord create an appeal page where we can report mods and owners and ask to be reinstated on their servers.
Discord support ignoring and closing requests without context reminds me of this really terrible practice of a lot of Github repositories where they'll automatically close issues for inactivity.
Imagine reporting a bug in behavior (maybe using a hotkey in a certain situation crashes the program) and rather than respond (or maybe they do respond with "I'll look into it," but then a week goes by anyway) the issue just closes because "not enough people are talking about it."
"How many eggs in a dozen?"
"13!!!!"
"Uh... can you drink?"
"Yes, I love drinking water!!"
im on the fence if I should subscribe to you. because I find myself looking at your videos all the time
Me and 3 of my friends got our main Discord accounts all banned simultaneously when we were in a call together, because we were apart of an unmoderated Discord server, which we used to get memes from.
Apparently people had spammed CP or something alike in there and every single person in the server got banned, it just all happened without anyone knowing, cause we never check those random servers.
It was a server we just had in a disposable folder that we randomly went into every like other month or so to check memes, and the ban was unappealable, they didn't even bother to check our message logs to see that we did nothing wrong.
Funny thing is my account was from early 2016, the alt I have to use as my main is from 2019, and I don't pay for nitro, so people would have a very easy time stealing my username if they so wanted to.
So I guess just don't be a part of random servers you don't check often which seem sort of chaotic.
This happened to me a few weeks ago, genuinely baffling how easy it is to get banned
Note: Theres this thing where if u do email replies for Discord Support it'll send you an email saying "we currently aren't supporting email responses! Please use our support portal" or smth like that. Not sure if it's true or not but yeh that's a thing.
Was in a game's discord. The game in question had age, which determined your character's progression, strength, etc
Got asked 'what age are you' I answered '12' and got banned, discord support never got back to me and I had to submit my ID to get it back 💀
