What actions we take

When our Trust & Safety team confirms that there has been a violation of our Community Guidelines, the team takes immediate steps to mitigate the harm and, wherever possible, help users avoid breaking the rules in the future. The following are actions that we might take on either users and/or servers:

• Removing the violating content
• Temporarily limiting access to posting or other Discord features
• Warning users about what rule they broke
• Temporarily suspending users as a “cool-down” period
• Disabling a server’s ability to invite new users
• Removing a server from Discord
• Permanently suspending a user from Discord due to severe or repeated violations

Discord also works with law enforcement agencies in cases of immediate danger and/or self-harm. We swiftly report child abuse material content and the users responsible to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
