Account falsely banned from Discord

[Bottiger]

Account was banned from Discord today for "maliciously shared or participated in the sharing of the personal or private information of another user".

The message in question was me posting the ISPs connected to one of our TF2 servers. It had no ips, no screen names, nor names. Was banned in less than 12 hours of posting it so I believe I was probably spam reported by hostile communities.

This is just one example of why I am unwilling to move large parts of the forum to Discord like the ban appeals or reports.

Here is the other example why we shouldn't put everything on Discord.

Don't worry, it's not the first time he's died.

I've seen Discord take months to finally take action against a server full of people's addresses.
Thank God they have their priorities right.

 

[LizzieSteph]

Oh wow I was wondering where you went. And of course (((they))) got you banned because of that message lol

Really shows how petty those "hostile communities" are if they get you for something like that

That's not personally-identifiable or private information. It's not tied to any users.

Your screenshots don't seem to be working.

I hope you get a swift response from a reasonable person.

I can't see the images, could you fix that?

They are there

This is unfortunate - Sorry to hear this. I have been a supporter (conceptually) of using discord, and view integrations with discord as a positive benefit for most communities. In this case, it does appear that discord's moderation is problematic - I would imagine this is unlikely to change.

Images are not visible for me either.

Sorry to hear. I hope it gets resolved. This isn't the first time I've heard about Discord's moderation being rather troublesome, it sounds like it needs an overhaul.

The image works for me by clicking the link.

 

[Bottiger]

lol

 

[Toxik]

That's so fucking stupid. Did they add any information on the email?

 

[Bottiger]

Nope, there was no extra email.

 

[StanleYBH]

Okay, RIP that account then.
It's time to make a new one and remember to use this profile picture

Thankfully all the time spent ignoring problems like rampant pedophilia, adding features to let you pay to access channels via subscription, and making nitro effects shine just a little more has paid off so they could afford the resources to take down the real bad guys

 

[Metroidz]

That's so fucking stupid. Did they add any information on the email?

They never elaborate. My account was permabanned on a first-offense for just EXISTing in a trolling discord.

 

[Dash7]

lol

That's a really fast reply for a ban appeal. Did they even review it? So sad :(

 

[Bottiger]

This looks like a bot.

Let us not forget the time discord took 6 fucking months to deal with a child admitting to and owning a NSFW server which gave roles to other children stating that they were "underaged":

Discord when child endangerment: "*sleeps for 3 months* Is this still an issue, and is it time sensitive? *sleeps for another 3 months* uh... where is the issue? can you post it again even though you put it in the ticket's fields?"

Discord when you are actually managing a community: "*AWAKE IMMEDIATELY* Your account has been terminated"


I remember when Discord was "For gamers, By gamers", now it is just another social media platform who is too lazy to deal 1:1 with their users and just lets bots handle all the moderation.

Reminds me of that maximilianmus dude that owned a CP discord server for like 6-7 years and finally got deleted like 2 years ago after it went viral, which seems to be the only way to get discord staff to actually take action against this kinda crap.
