How to Report a User on Discord from a PC or Mobile Device

Discord can be synonymous with disagreement, but that certainly doesn't mean you can't be nice when exchanging opinions with other people. This chat app can be a great way to spend your free time communicating with members who are interested in topics you also like.

However, it is not uncommon that sometimes a simple misunderstanding or a different opinion can lead to a more serious dispute. This often happens in the online world, where you can't see how your words affect others.

If you're having an unpleasant situation on Discord and want to report someone's inappropriate comments or behavior, here's how to do it.

However, if you have reason to suspect that someone has violated this rule, you can report it and let the Discord team take care of it. However, you should know that Discord probably won't ban that person unless you have solid proof of their age.

How do I report a suspicious user?

According to Discord, you need to send them a direct email. You can also use the official report form and report this user like any other. Just add the reason in the Description box and use the Attachments option to add proof if you have it.

When is it appropriate to report a user on Discord?

As mentioned, it's essential to make sure that someone's behavior or posts break Discord's rules. Here are the most common reasons for reporting a user on this platform:

• Sending unwanted messages

• Harass or threaten other users

• Sharing animal cruelty photos

• Sharing child pornography

• Violation of intellectual property rights

• Promote self-harm or suicide

• Distribution of viruses

You can also report someone if they are personally attacking you. Discord isn't a platform where you should feel threatened in any way — it's a place to chat with people who like the same things you do. But before reporting a user, you can try talking to them or even ask a server moderator for help. If that doesn't work, reporting someone may be the only option.

Improve your Discord environment

When someone is toxic or even cruel in an environment where you should make friends and have fun, you have to do something about it. Reporting an inappropriate user on Discord not only benefits you, but it can also improve everyone else's experience on this platform.

Why should someone deal with rude comments or behavior online? You wouldn't put up with such things in the real world, so there's no need to tolerate harassment in the virtual world either.
