r/BannedFromDiscord

like 6 days ago roughly my account got banned for ban evasion after joining a couple servers, while I do have two accounts neither got banned prior to this and nor have any of my own servers been banned themselves, I got like 7 years of friendships on the line because of this and I've been checking daily to not a single response from discord yet, I've gone so far as to contact the BBB to hopefully get this resolved, while I do have some of those friends added on steam/consoles I will still lose a handful of friends that are very dear to me on top of 5 years of dungeons and dragons notes/npcs/characters EVERYTHING. Is it just me or is false bans getting worse on the platform?

hello, yesterday day my discord was operating perfectly normal, account was in normal standing as far as i know, but yesterday night my discord got banned for "ban evasion".

i've never been banned from discord before, so how could this be possible?

i use public (college) wifi sometimes, and I'm worried that maybe discord AI mistook me for someone else, but most of the time i don't use that wifi so im not sure. is it possible that's what happened, and if so, how would i even explain that to them? i already requested an appeal/"review" yesterday night (i wasnt able to do any explaining) and not heard anything back.

this account has extremely sentimental messages dating back 5+ years and I'm so scared to lose this account. any advice is appreciated

I was banned for supposedly "ban evasion" on my main account? Do you realize how stupid that sounds? Has this happened to anyone else? How did you fix it? What caused it? It's worth noting that I never used a VPN to avoid bans on any server, and I don't use any other account besides that one. They still haven't responded to my appeal,I was sleeping at the time of the ban.

So basically, I got permanently suspended about a day ago because of a server I was in. I’ve been reading a lot of posts from people on this subreddit who went through the exact same situation, and honestly, none of it has given me much hope. So I was wondering — has anyone here actually managed to get unbanned? Or should I just let go of my 6 year old account with a 3 year nitro streak away, forever?

I am very upset with Discord and the way its AI just bans folks and strikes their account for no reason or for dumb reasons. The AI clearly lacks context for anything and can easily be exploited by detractors to get you temporarily limited or banned. I haven't been banned, but I've been dealing with false reports from other users (I guess), because I have had 9 violations since the start of 2026. My account was made in 2015, and I've never had a violation until this year. Thankfully, 7 of the 9 were removed because they were ridiculous.

Here are a couple examples of the ones that got removed after appeal: "I hope Ace Combat 8 will have VR support," "I'd pick Portugal," and also "Hi guys." These, I assume, were reported by other users for reasons I cannot begin to fathom. However, my main server is a pretty large geopolitical server, and I'm decently well known in there. Again, no issues until this year.

The two violations that Discord kept were the following:

The first one was from a conversation about a hypothetical US invasion of Europe and whether a united Western Europe could withstand US airpower. Obviously hypothetical, but that was the conversation at the time. I got a violation for violence or whatever on one of the messages. Unsure if it was reported by a person or if the AI just pinged it. I dunno. Nothing about it was endorsing violence or calling for it. it was discussing a ridiculous scenario as a thought experiment.

The second violation that stayed was for "hateful conduct." In said server, these guys were talking all sorts of Jew this and Jew that, blah blah blah... the kind of people that make their personality about Israel. Anyways, I made a joke to mock them because they sounded stupid. I said the following: "Guys, did you know Benjamin Netanyahu runs Israel? The Jews control Israel! Coincidence?" Discord kept the strike. Nothing about it is hateful, even out of context. I assume one of those guys reported it because I was mocking them. No shit the Jewish state is run by Jews- that's the joke.

Discord is cooked. You cannot even make jokes to mock people who were literally breaking Discord's ToS while you weren't. Their AI is so dumb. Now I have 2 strikes on my account, and I'm "very limited." I feel like I have to self censor myself. I cannot even talk geopolitics in a geopolitical server without fear of Discord's AI going dumb or some idiot who disagrees reporting me.

Who reports someone over a disagreement? I've never reported anyone on Discord. I'm a free speech guy, and I literally don't care what others say, even if it breaks Discord ToS. I may not agree with it, but I do not care.

This is mostly a vent

I see posts here every day with people saying they got banned for being in a discord. I joined a somewhat shady one i think about 1 or 2 years ago simply out of curiosity and left it about a day after. Im honestly a bit scared that AI randomly bans me. My entire life is on Discord, and im mod in 4 servers where i handle tickets every day. I'd appreciate it if someone would confirm if it can or can't happen. Dont remember the name of the shady server, but remember that being quite a few gore pictures, which is against TOS.

Is there still anything I can do? It seems to not be a bot since it says Discord Trust & Safety

Hey so I've got in my head about this and wondered if there's a likelihood that Discord could up my violation to a higher level through an in-app appeal?

So they banned me for being active on three game servers, even though I've never posted anything about children in my life. And so far, no one has sent me a response from Discord.

I know by the fact that the future of privacy is looking dark but I do have one question.

Will Discord ban VPNs as the measure of preventing ban evasions in the near future?
