Day 39 (+2, Lil late again, V busy recently) of being banned from Discord: I submitted a complaint to Ofcom.
Hi All!
Back at the ole journal again, this Discord stuff is a nightmare man... absolutely no co-operation in the slightest.
Recently I've seen a couple of people get unbanned, I have no idea how since I'd imagine a flying dolphin going over my house shitting rainbows is more likely to happen than discord hiring a capable support team, but hey miracles happen, either that or the AI chatbots have finally learned the virtues of things such as actual co-operation, context, and the fact that the fire emoji isn't a threat that you're going to flame bomb someones house...
Anywho, progression update? I've not found any external boards to help my case so far, it's running dry, all of the systems that seem to do so are either US or EU exclusive, which makes my english arse very sad since we left for some reason a couple of years back... probably so a small group of politicians could pocket the insanely small fees we paid monthly...
This leaves me with the Ofcom board, the UK's media regulation board.
I essentially just went throught the circumstances of my case and how defyingly unreachable discord is, telling them that discord really needs to reconsider how they conduct their support team.
Are they likely to actually do anything from this? no, are they likely to read it? yeah, probably, and that is a win at this point since it's the only formal contact I would've had with anyone throughout this entire ordeal, perhaps a therapist would work lol? don't need one but the notion of someone being so attached to a discord account they need therapy is crazy, then again, I'm the gimp that has been writing about it for 40 days...
anyway, business as usual, some info surrounding my ban is below. HELP ME, HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP
- Banned for Child Safety
- Banned for sending a picture of someone shitting on someone with the words “Your Opinion” tagged (my friend dislikes mario party, it was in jest.).
- Already Appealed via the app, got rejected.
- 2 offenses
- Suspension lasts 2 years (until account deletion)
- The account is 7 years old and has MANY valuable resources to me, such as "Professional Connections" (People who are good at the thing I want to specialise in who I occasionally talk to), Lost Contacts, Educational Resources, Archives, Years and YEARS of message backlogs, and certain tight-knit communities I cannot get to now.
- I have made a dispute to disputes@discordapp.com, I have used the (awful) support page, and have contacted the twitter account so far, as well as the aforementioned appeal.
- I am UK Based and believe the ban could be related to the fact I didn't have an ID connected to my account.
- I have gotten IP banned on multiple accounts after this ban.
That's about all, If this fails *I may have to escalate to building a paramilitary and storming discord HQ scientology style.
-JOLT
(*Just incase reddit got their bot moderation from the same stupid town as discords, THIS IS A JOKE, I WON'T PILLAGE DISCORD HQ)
