The ability for friends and gamers to connect with one another via servers and groups is just one of the interesting aspects that Discord offers. Nevertheless, trolling and spamming must be avoided by all group members. The server moderators have the authority to ban users for breaking these regulations.
Wires can, however, occasionally be crossed, and individuals may find themselves unintentionally or unfairly blacklisted. You should be able to unban users in these circumstances swiftly and efficiently, and you have a variety of options at your disposal.
How To Ban Someone On A Discord Server
It’s crucial to understand how to implement a ban on Discord before we look more closely at how to reverse one because the two processes are inextricably related.
A user will immediately receive an infraction point if they have been reported for any reason (spam, offensive language, etc.).
They will accrue points for their total number of violations each time they send a message with a link, submit a photo, or post in a channel.
When the cutoff point is reached, a moderator may choose to ban the user either temporarily or permanently. The length of both is determined by how serious the offence was; the longer someone has been barred, the less likely it is that they will be allowed back in.
Step
Open the Discord app or website
Go to the Discord website or app on your phone or computer to ban someone from your Discord chat group.
Step
Choose the channel that you want to block people from.
Choose the channel you want to prohibit people from after going to the server you want to ban people from.
From the list of members on the right side of the screen, locate the person you want to ban, right-click on them, and then select the Ban option from the pop-up menu.
Step
Tap the Ban button.
You can choose to delete some of their messages and be asked to explain why this person was banned. You can click the Ban button to finish the procedure after providing a reason and deleting some of their communications.
What Might Get You A Ban From A Server?
The following are some of the behaviours that could get you banned from a Discord server:
- Spamming either creating fake spam accounts or sending spam messages. Organizing spam is also a banning offense
- Spamming someone with friend requests
- Posting content that promotes self-harm or suicide, or which could be seen as blackmail
- Using an abusive language or posting hate speech
- Sharing porn or harassing others
- Impersonating others
- Advertising when this is against the rules
Why Do You Need To Unban A User?
You might need to learn how to unban a user from Discord for a variety of reasons, but some of the most common ones are as follows:
Someone is either utilising a different Discord account that was used for something else or making accounts under other identities. Users might occasionally gain control of a third-party account. As a result, users may mistakenly get their accounts blocked even when they have done nothing wrong.
Users may also be unjustly accused of spamming or harassing others, which can lead to an instant ban even if the moderators may not have the full picture. To lessen distress and disturbance in these situations, it’s critical to have the ability to quickly unban users.
Accounts will be suspended while an investigation into a user’s possible involvement in hacking or cheating is ongoing. Although it’s uncommon, it does happen occasionally.
Users may be banned based only on allegations, especially if they have a history of causing problems, or they may be accused of utilising hackers (which is against the terms of service).
If the user is innocent, they must follow the steps listed below to clear things up. It is a quick and uncomplicated process that will quickly reinstate the user.
