I submitted an appeal through Discords official process on [date you appealed, if applicable], but have not received a satisfactory response.Desired Resolution:A thorough review of my account by *********************** ************** team.Written clarification of the specific reason for the suspension.Restoration of my account if no valid evidence supports the violation.I am requesting the BBBs assistance in facilitating a fair and transparent resolution to this matter.Business Response

This Complaint is being filed because I was falsely suspended by Discord off of their platform.I haven't done anything wrong and I believe my suspension should be lifted and my account reinstated This Suspension had occurred around September 14, 2025.I tried making multiple tickets with discord support, but I haven't gotten a single reply from a real human back.These were usually automated responses, without someone actually looking at the ticket or taking any action.Business Response

Hello Discord ***************** account was recently disabled for alleged violations of the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. I want to make it clear that I did not knowingly engage in any behavior that would break these rules. At the time of the alleged violation, I did not have access to my device, and I was not active on Discord for a couple of weeks. This makes me concerned that my account may have been compromised or misused without my knowledge.I can only guess what might have triggered this actionpossibly a picture or some other activitybut I cannot say for certain, and I may be mistaken. Because of this, I respectfully ask for a proper review and clarification of the specific reason my account was *********** ticket (#********) is still open, and I give full consent for ************** to review my prior messages and activity to confirm my innocence.Discord is an important way for me to stay connected with friends, and I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to resolve this matter fairly. Please reconsider the decision, or provide the details I need to properly address the situation.Thank you for your time and understanding.Business Response

Discord's auto moderation has been a pain for my account and my friends lately.I was falsely banned for "child safety" and although there was no violation to the guidelines, discord ignores my proof and sends me the same auto replies from ***************, I provided three screenshots that further assist my case for why I was falselt banned. 1st screenshot: One of my friends getting a dm from a person telling them of the group that not only abused discord api to ban me, but other people.2. A picture of me holding my legal dominican ID, showing I am 20 years old.3. The message that was spam reported to get me banned, even though it was said to a 24 year old, and the guidelines dont say anything against calling your 24 year old friend your boyfriend.I ask for my ban to be unlifted due to the simple fact it was unfair and unnecessary. I have been a discord guideline abiding user and continue being that way.Business Response

I am filing this complaint regarding Discords handling of my ********** account (MrPowerGamerBR User ID: ******************* was permanently banned due to messages taken out of context. These messages were sarcastic replies and critical commentary during a conversation, but when isolated, they look misleading and inappropriate. Discord removed the original messages, so the context is no longer visible.I strongly believe this was a disproportionate action. I have never engaged in harmful behavior or shared prohibited content on the platform. For years, I have been a trusted community member and the developer of the ******* bot, one of the largest Discord bots in ******, serving millions of users. This ban not only affects me personally, but also negatively impacts thousands of communities that rely on my work.I have tried appealing directly to Discords support, but only received automated responses, without a clear review of the full situation. This has left me with no transparency or fair resolution process.I am respectfully asking the Better Business Bureau to mediate this case, so Discord can review the context properly and provide a fair and proportional outcome.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference tocomplaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.The resolution had already been achieved after the complaint was submitted but before Discord's response, however this was more likely done after I got a lot of pressure from both my partners that work with Discord and other users on the platform, which this was only possible because I have a large application on Discord.
I don't think that a normal user could've gone this far like I did.
