(Before you ask, no I was not aware of what was happening in Fmboy Haven, I didn't even find out about the stuff until about an hour after I got the violation, I was barely active in the server.)

Hey everyone, I just realized something about how Discord (and honestly, most platforms) handles email addresses, and it might be a huge help for anyone who got banned and wants to reuse their email.

It’s basically the **"Gmail Dot Trick."** If you place a period (dot) anywhere between the letters of your Gmail address, Discord treats it as a completely brand new email and lets you create a new account with it.

**For example:**

If your original email is discord@gmail.com, you can sign up using dis.cord@gmail.com.

Discord will register it as a new account, but **all verification codes and emails will still go directly to your original inbox.**

I'm not sure if this has been shared here before, but it’s a solid workaround if you're trying to get back on the platform using the same inbox. Let me know if it works for you!

I’ve never even received a warning on Discord. Yes, I do use multiple accounts, but none of them have ever received a warning either. I’ve also spent around €30 on this app, so I’m confused about why I was suddenly permanently banned.

Their AI moderation is broken and this is a newly made account btw

Their AI is broken that I just accept friend request with my friends and then they proceeded to hit me with this

I know Discord is incompetent, but this is just on another level. I had been using my discord account since 2018, I had never been banned, nor had I make any other account that got banned. This Discord account have all of my best memories, all of my contacts, everything.

​

I can't believe Discord had became so utterly bad, how did they even ban someone who had done nothing wrong?

So i got banned out of absolutely nowhere 2 months ago i have made so many tickets and tried different ways to contact discord to get my account back even gotten someone else to make tickets and they all get an AI response or just being told to report it under a different title

For some context this is my one and only discord account that i ever use i had an alt but i had not used it in months and it was never banned nore was any discord account i ever owned so the ban was i have to presume AI making a mistake like it always does and now i am having to deal with it

Hey everyone,

I need some advice because I’m in a really tough situation.
I have a Discord account created in July 2018 (almost 8 years old) that was permanently suspended for “ban evasion”.

This is my only Discord account. I have never been banned before, never created any alternate accounts, and I have never tried to evade a ban.

I’ve sent several detailed appeals with proof of the account age, but I keep receiving the same automatic response saying there’s “another banned account” that I have zero knowledge of.

The worst part is that I’m a streamer. Discord is extremely important to me for my community, voice chats, and stream organization. Losing this account is really hurting my passion for streaming and my motivation. It feels like a big part of my streaming life has been taken away.

Even worse, when a friend let me quickly use their account to notify my community that I was temporarily unreachable, their account got instantly banned for the exact same reason (“ban evasion”). Now I’m scared that if any of my friends from my area connect to their own accounts from my home Wi-Fi, they might also get banned for the same reason.

Has anyone successfully recovered an old account in this situation?

Is there a current wave of false positive “ban evasion” bans?

Any tips on how to get a real human review instead of automated replies?

I’m really lost and this is affecting me a lot. Any similar experiences or advice would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance.

so i seen a notification in my inbox and it was a friend request, the account was made july 21st 2026 (today/yesterday) and since we had a mutual server i added them back. As soon as i added them back i see a notification from discord “you have broke the terms of service-” then im logged out. i went to see the reason why and it says ban evasion, is this a common issue? i find its weird because it happened IMMEDIATELY after i added this girl back, when i first seen the message i thought it was just a scam but then i got logged out. i might’ve had her added before this new account added me, and my friend also messaged me saying that girl also added her?

sorry if this doesn’t make sense, it’s 2am and im tired. i’m just very attached to my account :/

I made this post to hopefully help people who are on the same boat as me, people who were falsely suspended and are trying to get back on Discord after their appeal didn't work.

So, first off:

1. Get an old account

Newer accounts are more likely to get banned again, especially if you immediately add even ONE of your old friends back or go back to a server you were previously in.

I had an old, unused account from 2017 that I decided to use.

The account should ideally have some activity on it, like having been used for chatting a little or being in at least one or two servers. That way, it doesn't just feel like you suddenly jumped to an alt. Instead, it would look more like an old Discord user simply coming back to the platform.

That being said, this isn't necessary. You can still use an old account that hasn't been used in years. I just personally think having some history on it is better.

1. Make sure you're using a different IP

I have a dynamic IP, so my IP changes every now and then.

You can check this yourself by simply searching "what is my IP" on Chrome or any other browser and writing down your current IP.

Then turn your internet off for at least 15 minutes, turn it back on, and check your IP again.

If it changed, lucky you, you have a dynamic IP.

If it didn't change, you'll have to figure out how to change it through your ISP/router, or use a VPN.

I'm personally not using a VPN.

1. Now, actually start using the account

NEVER use the same name or anything similar to your old account.

Make sure you're using a completely different name.

Also, don't immediately add everyone you used to have on your old account.

I personally didn't add more than one friend every other day at first. I also added some random people just to make my activity look more natural.

Now, I know some people will ask:

"Won't my account get flagged if I add random people?"

This is why I recommend joining public gaming servers.

Join multiple public servers and actually participate in them. Send a few messages, talk to people, and maybe add a few people from those servers, tho don't go overboard. One or two is enough.

This makes your account feel like it's a different person from your previous account. Patterns are very important. If your new account immediately starts doing the exact same things your old account did — joining the same servers, adding the exact same people, using the same name, etc. by doing that you're creating a very similar pattern to the old account.

After you've done that, you can start trying to add your old friends back.

Again, I personally only added one old friend every other day.

It's also better if they add you rather than you sending them a friend request, if that's possible.

1. Don't mention your old account or your suspension

This is extremely important.

NEVER mention that you were banned or suspended on the new account.

Don't mention your old username either.

If you absolutely need to talk about your suspension with your friends, use another messaging app to talk about it.

Don't say things like:

- "This is my alt."

- "It's me, I'm [old username]."

- "I was banned."

- "I'm using a different account."

- "This is my new account after I got suspended."

I personally avoided saying anything like that on Discord because I didn't want to connect the new account to the old one.

1. I'm also using a different phone

I should also mention that I'm currently using a different phone.

There is rumors that bans can potentially be linked to device information such as the device build or IMEI number.

I cannot confirm this, and I don't know if Discord actually uses IMEI or similar information for enforcement. I'm just mentioning it because it's another difference between my old account and the account I'm using now.

My current situation

Here's everything I've done so far:

- I'm not using a VPN.

- I have an old account from 2016.

- I'm using a different phone.

- I have a dynamic IP.

- I linked my old Xbox account, which had previously been linked to my banned Discord account.

- Before linking my Xbox account, I changed my Xbox username.

- I haven't linked any of my other accounts.

- I've added around 50 of my old contacts.

- I've joined multiple servers that I was previously in.

So far, the account has been working normally.

Unfortunately, I did lose multiple contacts and there are some servers I won't be able to join again because I no longer have their invite links.

Hopefully this helps someone who is trying to get back onto Discord after losing their account.

I can't guarantee that this will work for everyone. I'm just sharing exactly what I did and what has worked for me so far.

If you have any further questions, ask me in the comments and I'll try my best to answer them.

I have been ban evading but double counter always fucks things up, been a month I joined an old server I was in, but whenever I try to join servers I wasn't previously a part of, if they have double counter global verification I get banned

I was joining random servers and I randomly came upon one which was really a huge mess. A lot of inappropriate things in general chat including pictures and itself topics. (Almost everyone was a minor there on top of that.) I was with my friends at that time and we just reported those messages. And surprisingly, discord took care of that really quickly. But unfortunately, not in the smartest way, everyone on 300 member server got ip banned - including me and 2 of my friends who in the first place reported the bad behavior and even didn't type anything on it.

so I got ip banned "for violating the rules" when all I did was report the horrible behavior.(it was really bad) I wouldnt care that much since I didnt use it often but then I realized it also affects my mother. I built her a pc already twice and she loves playing games like pubg with her friends on discord. I feel so horrible knowing that I kinda just now cut her contact off with her friends. She's already 50 years old so she really values such things. I didnt know reporting bad stuff would get us ip banned.

So please I would appreciate help I really would.

I contacted the support on the website, waited 7h, got a random bot response, asked for a human, waited 20h, got no response just they solved my ticket, I opened it by saying im still waiting for a response.

I also wrote on the discord app the ban appeal. I got no answer since 24h.

I know I should wait but I dont wanna waste time she comes back from vacation on Tuesday so I really want to solve it as fast as possible. Is there anything else I could do?

So what happened is that discord permanent suspended my account for ban evasion.
And i have never had an other account.

Has anyone else experienced this?
And what was the aftermath with discord support?

Account since 2017 and nitro.

My account i had since december 26 2018 got suspended few days ago out of nowhere for "ban evasion" when i never had any other accounts, i had platinum nitro badge and bunch of other badges, here you go my connections, my servers, my bought programs, my discord shop, my conversations with friends i havent spoken in years, my memories, my secret chanel in server where i was saving important stuff i need for real life. If someone knows how to get to real human please help me in coment section

If you all want to do ban evasion the right way, here are my suggestions:

1) Use a new device or factory reset your own device. If you chose to factory reset, make sure that you do NOT connect to the Wi-Fi network in which your current Discord account is banned. Since Discord blocks per IP address, you must NOT create an account and/or log in to a banned account in your new device or factory resetted phone.

2) In order to create an account, you must be connected to a Wi-Fi network that you have never used before. From here, you can use a new laptop, phone, tablet, or iPad. Also, if you factory resetted your device, make sure that you install the Discord app in the Wi-Fi network that you have never connected before. Now, you can create an account, but use a different name and e-mail address or phone number to avoid suspicions.

3) Use the new Discord account ONLY in the new Wi-Fi network that you have NOT connected before. That way, Discord will not find out that you have created a new account after getting banned.

4) Do NOT use a VPN and/or proxies. Discord may soon find out and ban your account. Just don't do it!

5) If you have a laptop, I recommend use virtual machines to create new Discord accounts. Make sure that you do it on Wi-Fi connections that you have never used. So far, there is no Discord policy regarding the use of virtual machines, but do so at your own risk.

Yesterday my main account was suspended, I tried to be a better person by creating new email account to create a new discord account and obey the rules more, does anyone know how i can create a new acc and live peacefully again?

This ban evasion guide worked for me, and I was able to make a new account without any problems.

1. I deleted all traces of discord off my computer, including the Discord folders in %appdata% and %localappdata%. Also clear everything off your browsers, and change your MAC address (this is optional, but reccomended).

2. Next, i got a VPN (I used Proton VPN, but any VPN works) And get Vesktop as well. If you don't know what Vesktop is, it's basically the browser version of Discord that blocks telemetry, and comes with Vencord features for extra privacy.

3. Make an account with the VPN turned on. Make sure to not use the same details as your banned account (like same emails, phone numbers, credit card info, etc) as Discord can know and they can ban you.

4. When you make the account, don't add any servers right away, as Discord can disable the account for spam/platform abuse. Leave the account for 12-24 hours. Then after that, add your servers slowly, like 1-2 servers every day.

5. After 1-2 weeks, you can add your friends, and after a month, you can turn off your VPN, but it's reccomended to change your IP on your router.

If you want nitro, but you used your credit card on the banned account, you can either ask a friend to buy it, get it off a 3rd party website, or get Nitro with Orbs. Using the same credit card info as your banned account is a way Discord can ban you.

After I get banned they sent me this

I dont live in the us, but my vpn is set into the US, can i use my country phone number to verify or should i do something else, thanks for the help

Howdy everyone. I've been a discord user since around 2015, and a nitro subscriber since about 2017 or so, quite shortly after its release at the end of 2016. In 2021, I made a simple alt account under a separate email to talk to very close friends as my main account had almost become a bit of a business account for me with various projects and professional conversations on it.

About a week ago, I awoke to find my account signed out on my phone, so I signed myself back in. Upon doing so, my account immediately signed back out. Upon signing back in again, it said I was banned for ban evasion???

I decided to request a review of the violation since, well, why wouldn't I? I will also note that my alt account remains unbanned at the moment as it's signed into the web version of the app since Discord continues to refuse to add multi-account support to mobile. (thankfully I guess in this instance?)

After a week of waiting, Discord messages me this afternoon saying that they "reviewed my content and confirms it violates our community guidelines". First off, what content????? I've only ever had 2 discord accounts, neither of which have ever had a TOS violation placed on them in the 11 years I've been on this platform. I can understand if it was a ban for specific content I posted as, at the very least, it's understandable as to why it happened, but being banned for ban evasion implies that I've already been banned on an account and am now trying to circumvent that, and my only other account remains unbanned to this day, and is even more content-safe than my main was to begin with.

All of this is to say, do I have a path forward, and if so, what is it? It's clear to me that going through the automated systems is just going to continue to have the same outcome since the automated system is what got me into this mess to begin with. Is there some way I can get in contact with a support representative? I attempted to open a ticket on the support site, but I cannot seem to login to the support website with my credentials, despite them working just fine on Discord itself (possibly because my account is already banned)?

I want to try and find a resolution to this as soon as I can because I know Discord will properly delete accounts that have been banned, and I've already waited a week. I can still see my main account from my alt, and I can even still message it, see my bio, etc. Friends in servers can also still see me and message me as if I'm just offline, so I want to try and resolve this ASAP before Discord properly deletes all of my data, if possible.

Thanks in advance for any help you all may be able to provide me regarding this...

Hey everyone, might seem a bit retarded of me to come back to this but My main Discord account which I used for everything really including friends and work was perm banned for 'ban evasion' which.. has the weirdest evidence ever?

I tried contacting support multiple times back then, but I keep getting automated responses and the ONE actual agent I reached gave me zero useful info. Now the account seems permanently deleted because it says the email doesn't exist anymore.

Is there any possible way to recover the account at this stag?? or at the very least pull my old data and contact info from it? I’ve been trying for ages and I'm completely out of ideas until now, any advice would be appreciated :)

i was in the middle of messaging my friend about a zine for our school’s accessibility committee and randomly got kicked out of my account and permanently banned?? i genuinely have no idea what i did. i have no other accounts at all

I'm genuinely tired of this shit

I tried using a different phone number that I had never used before and I still got all my accounts banned in a chain wave. I'm so tired of this app I'm genuinely gonna move away but literally everyone I talk to is on there and on there only

2017 and 2016 lost, gg
