  This complaint is being filed because my Discord account (Tortillaaa) was suspended on August 23, 2025 for allegedly violating Discords Child Safety rules.I understand now that I made a serious mistake. I shared an AI-altered NSFW meme that Discord interpreted as a child safety violation. My intent was not maliciousit was meant as a misguided joke, and I deeply regret sending it. I take full responsibility for my actions and will not repeat this behavior.After my suspension, I submitted three support tickets (one on the website and two within the app). Unfortunately, I only received automated responses and no follow-up from a real support agent. I have not been provided with a proper review or explanation beyond the initial ban notice.I respectfully request that Discord review my case with human oversight and reinstate my account if possible. I value Discords community standards and will fully comply with their Terms of Service going forward.(Note: Because the BBB form requires a 5-digit U.S. ZIP code, I entered Discord Inc.s ZIP94107instead of my actual Romanian postal code ******.)

  Complaint ID: #******** Hello Discord Support,My account was permanently suspended on 07/16/25 for alleged child safety violations. This action was triggered by two messages: one being a joke (which I clarified was a joke immediately afterward), and the second an apology. Neither contained any child safety violations nor intent to harm, yet my account was automatically flagged and banned.The context is important: I had been friends with the reporting user for over a year. After a small argument, she began a cycle of blocking me, then unblocking me, only to throw slurs and block me again. Eventually, she and her friend coordinated a mass-report campaign against me. By exploiting Discords automated zero-tolerance systems, my messages were falsely flagged as a child safety concern, when in reality they were harmless and non-violating.This outcome is deeply unfair. I have always abided by the ToS and Community Guidelines. I have previously reported serious violations such as underage users and explicit content, resulting in the removal of harmful users and servers. To now be punished under false pretenses after helping maintain Discords safety undermines trust in the fairness of the platform.I do not consent to an automated response. I respectfully request that a human Discord ************** staff member review my case manually, including my message history, so the truth is evident. If after human review you determine the suspension should remain, I will accept that decision. But I will not accept the verdict of an AI system acting without context or nuance.Please treat this as a formal dispute of my suspension. If a proper human review is not conducted, I am fully prepared to escalate through arbitration as outlined in Discords Terms of Service.All I ask is for a fair review by an actual person.Sincerely,Darrkxd

  I actually ran a complaint through the BBB before, in which I detailed that I was unjustly banned and provided false/inconsistent information. Through that complaint, my issue was solved - but they've done it again, and without even providing a reasoning for my ban when requested to do so. Since my prior reinstatement, I have been especially careful to abide by the Discord terms of service, so I'm lost as to what I could have possibly done. I believe I was once again falsely reported by a disgruntled server member after I had banned them for posting sensitive/disturbing content.Again, Discord is providing conflicting information to me. I am being told that my account was temporarily limited, whereas in-app it is designated as a permanent suspension. This time, the potential offending message has not been shared with me at all, even after I requested it. A prior violation was also used to justify this suspension as well, one of the violations that had been previously disputed and cleared. In fact, the message regarding that prior violation no longer even exists, so I'm unsure why it was brought up again after it was cleared as a misunderstanding.I have since backed up much of my information in response to my prior false suspension just in case, but now the issue lies in re-networking with many peers that I do not have contact with otherwise. Many jobs have been locked behind this suspension, costing me income.I would like to speak with a human representative of Discord's support team and trust and safety team, in which I would like the offending message to be detailed to me. In addition, I will dispute the offense, as I am confident that I have not broken any rules.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I have so far received only automated responses regarding my account, registered under ****************** I have submitted multiple tickets, some of which were marked solved without any reply. After my prior suspension and reinstatement, I believed these issues were resolved, and that I was proven innocent, having been subject to a mass-report attack on me and my server. I have always been very vocal about my support of the safety of children on the platform, contrary to what Discord appears to be accusing me of, and I have been very careful since my reinstatement not to say anything (such as potentially problematic abbreviations, like CP for Checkpoint or Creator Points, as this was the issue before) that may possibly be misconstrued as against the Terms of Service of Discord. At that time, I was cleared of wrongdoing. To now be suspended again, with no explanation, feels targeted.
  If you wish to continue this conversation directly, I am available through this BBB back-and-forth, this ticket (ID #********* or through my other contacts: ****************** **************, or **************************.
  I firmly believe I have not broken any rules. At present, I cannot dispute your claim because none has been provided. I am formally requesting both reinstatement of my account and a clear explanation of the reason for my suspension. I genuinely do not know what I have supposedly done, as this has not been provided to me. Provide me with exact reasoning. Was my account reported directly, and Discord considered some part of my profile problematic? If so, I can change it upon request. Was a message reported? In this case, which one? In all of my review of the Discord Terms of Service, I have not found any messages I've sent between my reinstatement and now that are against them, but if I am mistaken, provide the message so that I may take steps to avoid sending similar messages. Was it another reason? I am of age to use Discord, if that came up somehow. Let me know. I am completely in the dark this time. I understand that work is difficult, but I will remain persistent until this issue is resolved; you have stated your duty as a company to provide proper information in the Terms of Service, and I believe that clause has been avoided.

  
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because:

  This is ridiculous. This is identical to the prior response. I provided the correct email in my previous rejection, which leads me to believe that my complaint was not once read or considered. Not only that, but the ticket number I provided in the prior complaint was not utilized, and was set as "Closed" by Discord. Every ticket I open is closed without consideration. The email that is connected to my ********************************** account is ****************** This is also the email tied to my Discord account. I will submit a new ticket on the Discord support website alongside this rejection, though I do not have faith that it will be looked at. I must reiterate: I have provided the correct email with which to address in the ticketing system. I have submitted several tickets, all of which were ignored in favor of automated responses, because the Discord support team, assuredly on my part, does not want to follow their own example as dictated in their own Terms of Service. Future copy-paste or automated responses will only worsen this issue. I want a human response.

  My Discord account was permanently disabled for child endangerment after I made a harmless joke in a conversation with friends: 'fresh meat' ahh. This was not directed at a child, and was not intended to violate any rules.I have had a completely clean history on Discord with zero prior violations or warnings. Despite this, my account was disabled without warning.I attempted to appeal through Discords support system, but every time I received only automated responses. My tickets were closed as Solved twice without ever being reviewed by a human ************** agent. I cannot use the in-app appeal system they reference, because my account is locked.This has left me with no way to have my case fairly reviewed. I am not asking for special treatment, only for my account and history to be reviewed by a human agent instead of being dismissed automatically.

  I was falsely banned by Discord's AI moderation system on June 22nd of 2025 with the claim that I "violated their child safety rules", yet they refuse to provide proof that I actually did violate any rules and when I make an appeal, only their AI bot replies to me saying "you violated the rules and won't be reinstated". So I made a ticket a few days ago on their website to provide me with a copy of my account data, but they haven't replied or gave me a copy of my account data.

  The company has enforced a wrongful ban against my account and as a result, I have lost access to message logs from a friend who has sadly passed away. I sent an appeal and was met only with an automated response enforcing the ban. I have not broken the rules on Discord and have been trying to find a way back to that account for 2 weeks. I am willing to give them access to my private conversations and hope that their team sees that any reports and/or flags that led to the ban are false.

  Hello,I recently received a notice from Discord stating that my account has been limited due to a violation of the Community Guidelines. However, I must point out that the situation seems very unusual the system indicates that the violation occurred over 500 days ago, which does not seem reasonable. Since then, I have not engaged in any behavior that should be considered a ************ addition, I rarely send messages on Discord and primarily use the platform to stay in touch with friends. Because of this, I do not understand which specific message or activity has been flagged as a violation.Therefore, I would like to formally appeal and request clarification on the following points:1.Please specify which exact message or activity caused my account to be flagged for a violation.2.Please confirm whether this violation record is accurate, as the reported incident happened more than 500 days ago, and I have not had any issues since then.3.I kindly ask that your team review this account limitation, and if it is determined to be a mistake, help lift the restriction.Discord is an important tool for me to communicate with others, and I am committed to following the Community Guidelines. However, this recent limitation has left me confused and has affected my ability to use my account properly. I sincerely request that you review this case carefully and provide me with a clear explanation and resolution.Thank you for your support and assistance.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Discords response to my official appeal did not provide a clear explanation of the issues I raised.
  Although one violation has been removed, there are still two violations that remain. What is more concerning is that after Discord updated its Community Guidelines, my content from over 500 days ago was suddenly judged as a violation.
  I am requesting a reasonable explanation for the following points:
  Why was I only notified of this violation after such a long time?
  Why was one violation removed, but the other two remain?
  Were these violations evaluated based on the updated guidelines rather than the rules in effect at the time?
  This handling is not convincing and has seriously affected my ability to use my account fairly.

  Still rejecting this due to lack of human support and evidence that has not been proven and online harassment to me of a violated rule, again without any supporting evidence, transparency and somewhat violating your own policy as well, which is very unfair and unprofessional coming from Discord **** Theft about 500 or more dollars into your application which cant be refunded which is online theft and absolutely poorly of discord as i have been on this app nearly over 5 or more years and never had this issue until August 14 to now.
