If Discord disabled your account, read the notice when you log in and check Account Standing. Appeal through Discord support if you think it was a mistake.

Check Account Standing

In User Settings › Account Standing (or similar), Discord shows active warnings and restrictions, and sometimes a way to appeal.

How to appeal

  1. Use the appeal link in the notice or Account Standing, if offered.
  2. Otherwise, contact Discord support through the Trust & Safety request form.
  3. Give your username and the email on the account.
  4. Explain briefly and politely.

Age-related disables

If Discord thinks you are under the minimum age, it may ask for proof of age with a photo of ID or a selfie. Follow the steps in the notice.

Common reasons

  • Spam, raids or selfbots.
  • Harassment or hateful content.
  • Being in or running servers that broke the rules.
  • Hacked accounts used for scams.

Hacked accounts

Accounts taken over are often used to send scam links, which then get the account disabled. Say in your appeal that the account was compromised, and secure your email.

New account?

Making a new account to get around a ban breaks Discord's rules. Wait for the appeal outcome.

Servers you own

If your account is disabled, servers you own keep running, but you cannot manage them. Ask a trusted admin to keep things in order while your appeal is reviewed. If the appeal fails, Discord may transfer or remove those servers.

How long appeals take

Discord appeal reviews can take days or weeks. Send one appeal and wait; repeated tickets do not speed it up. Check the email on your account, including spam, for the reply.

Age checks

If Discord disabled the account because it thinks you are under 13, the appeal may ask for proof of age. Follow only the steps in Discord's official message, and never send ID through links shared by other users.
