What is how to report someone on discord?

Reporting someone on Discord is an important process to maintain a safe and positive community. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Gather Evidence: Before reporting, collect any evidence you have to support your claim. This could include screenshots of the problematic messages or behavior. Having visual proof helps Discord's Trust & Safety team investigate effectively.

  2. Report via the App/Website:

    • Right-Click: Right-click on the user's name either in a server or in a direct message.
    • Select "Report": Choose the "Report" option from the menu.
    • Choose Reason: Select the reason that best fits the type of policy violation you are reporting. There are often options like "Harassment," "Spam," or "Illegal Activities".
    • Add Details: In the text box, provide a clear and concise explanation of why you are reporting this user. Including specific message IDs or context can be very helpful. You can get a message ID by enabling Developer Mode in Discord's advanced settings.
  3. Report a Message Directly (with Developer Mode Enabled):

    • Right-Click Message: If you have Developer Mode enabled, right-click on the specific message you want to report.
    • Copy Message ID: Select "Copy ID."
    • Report User: Right-click on the user's name and select "Report."
    • Paste Message ID: Paste the message ID into the description box along with other relevant details.
  4. Escalate to Discord Trust & Safety: For more serious issues, or if you feel the situation requires more attention, you can contact Discord Support directly through their website. Make sure you have all relevant information and evidence ready.

  5. Block the User: After reporting, consider blocking the user to prevent further interaction. This helps create immediate distance and protects you from further harassment. To block the user, right-click on their name and choose "Block".

Discord takes reports seriously and investigates each case thoroughly. Providing accurate information helps them take appropriate action against users who violate their Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
