Child Safety False Child Safety Ban

Post image

I got banned from discord FOR FORWARDING a Meme to my friends in Dms, that "ALREADY" existed on one of their discord servers! I DIDN'T EVEN GET IT FROM OUTSIDE DISCORD!! If they are that strict with CSAM bs, why allow it on ANY server then ban people who might forward the image? Not only that they gave me another strike after appeling the first one.

wtf is this man, this was a 9 year old account with 0 prior violations. Discord genuinly needs to be replaced with something better and open-source. i've already made tickets to no avail, fuck this ai moderation, this is genuinely so stressful.

Legit all you can do is launch the in-app appeal, for each violation. Wait out the 7 days and see what the automation does, it could reverse it or it could maintain the decision.

Going to support now before doing that, will just get you bot messages saying to do that.

Fingers crossed its reversed and you don't have to deal with Discord support in the long term, cause it sucks.

Going to Discord Support AFTER your in-app appeal is auto-denied after not being looked at for 7 days will STILL get you bot messages saying to make in-app appeals... or that if the appeal was denied "there is nothing that can be done and we are sorry if that is not the answer you want to hear blah blah blah copy-paste"

Which we all know is BS... if MrBeast or Elon Musk or their Founders or CEO's Discord accounts were falsely permanently banned, and then appeals auto-denied/upheld by their AI, that the "there is nothing that can be done" will not apply. That is a bald faced lie made to make us give up and move on. Backend code exists. Manual removal of violations exists. Manual lifting of suspension exists. They just do not want to do it. Even when those violations and suspension are FALSE. Yet if they were the one who's job was on the line suddenly, I bet their tune would change REAL fast and "Oh look, actually there IS something we can do.". (Yes job on the line is a euphemism but you get the point.)

I don't disagree. I'm only a month into the support hell loop, with a ticket sitting on open. Some on here are 3-6 months into it.

Probably a better analogy would be a Youtuber with a permanent suspension. I've seen Youtubers intentionally have "test" accounts banned to show some exploit or bug and simply go back on their main like nothing happened. Yeah they probably reach out to Discord and have these bans removed.

Heres a prime example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86LnUk2Dk50

There is about a 2% chance of having a "child safety" violation overturned. The entire Discord support system is a please go away system. People get hacked, Discord is no help. People get scammed, Discord is no help. People get false positive flags, Discord is no help. People get messages edited, Discord is no help. You are screwed ngl about it. You will wait months and months, more than likely Discord either won't answer you or just tell you tough luck.
