As part of our goal to provide users with a good on-platform experience, we prohibit platform abuse.<br/></p><p>The term <strong>platform abuse</strong> refers to activities that disrupt or alter the experience of Discord users. Sending unsolicited bulk messages or interactions (or <em>spam</em>) is one of the most common ways the user experience is disrupted. Spam can be sent by automated accounts designed for this purpose (<em>spambots</em>), normal user accounts that manually execute spammy actions, as well as by user accounts modified to perform automated actions (<em>self-bots</em>). Making modifications to the Discord client for the purpose of spam or any other reason is not allowed under this policy.<br/></p><p>We will also take action on accounts registered for the purpose of carrying out platform abuse. This includes the automated registration of accounts as a group for spamming — regardless of their message-send rate. We will also remove servers facilitating platform abuse. This includes but is not limited to spaces distributing: spambots, server “raid” tools, account-creation tools, token generators, CAPTCHA-solving services, and other spam tools.</p></div><div class="w-richtext"><h2><strong>Inauthentic Engagement</strong></h2><p>Inauthentic engagement is closely tied to, but distinct from the issue of spam. Both result in an overall lower-quality experience for users.<br/></p><p><strong>Engagement</strong> in the context of this policy is defined as any user interaction with Discord’s service or product features. We will consider engagement to be <strong>inauthentic</strong> if it is purchased, induced (like promises of financial reward), or fraudulent (for example, it involves fake accounts).<br/></p><p>Individuals are prohibited from attempting to manipulate engagement metrics, artificially inflating server membership (for example, via “join-for-join,” “invite rewards,” purchasing fake members), and selling artificial engagement services for online platforms.

An important condition for building healthy communities is trust in the authenticity of interactions. Discord prohibits users from misrepresenting their identity on our platform in a deceptive or harmful way. This includes creating fake profiles as well as attempts to impersonate an individual, group, or organization.<br/></p><p>Although pseudonymous accounts are allowed on Discord, our rules prohibit fake profiles and impersonation. We define a <strong>fake profile</strong> as an online identity for an individual or entity that does not exist. Some fake user profiles can be identified by their use of stolen or generated images as avatars. <strong>Impersonation</strong> means pretending to be a real individual, group, or organization. This typically involves the use of identity details (such as name or likeness) to deceive others about the ownership or affiliation of a digital profile. Impersonation on Discord can occur at the account or server level.</p></div><div class="w-richtext"><h2><strong>Platform Ban Evasion</strong></h2><p>We may take enforcement actions when we discover a violation of our <a href="https://discord.com/guidelines">Community Guidelines</a> — up to and including permanent removal from Discord. We typically reserve permanent actions like user and server bans for severe violations that could negatively impact user safety, the integrity of our service, or the rights of others. Permanently removing a violative account or community can lessen the harms from these groups and help prevent abuse from occurring in the future.<br/></p><p>You may not circumvent platform-level bans that we take against your account or server. We use the term <strong>ban</strong> to refer to the permanent removal of an account or community for a violation of our rules.<br/></p><p><strong>Platform ban evasion</strong> refers to efforts to return to Discord after having an account or community permanently removed from our service. Platform ban evasion includes the creation of new accounts and communities to bypass permanent removal; it also includes the use or reuse of an existing account or community to avoid a platform-level ban.</p></div><div class="w-richtext"><h2><strong>How to Avoid Violating These Policies</strong></h2><ul role="list"><li>Don’t misrepresent your identity on Discord in a deceptive or harmful way</li><li>If you run a parody or satire account or server, make sure that it is clearly labeled as such</li><li>Respect platform-level enforcement actions.

We work hard to keep Discord a safe place for users to connect with their communities — that way, they won’t have to worry about people trying to trick them for illegal or dishonest reasons. Individuals may not use our service to promote, coordinate, or perform any type of financial scam.<br/></p><p>Financial scams generally attempt to take advantage of individuals by making false promises of goods, services, or other financial benefits. These schemes try to turn a profit by defrauding victims or tricking them into revealing sensitive information. A non-exhaustive list of financial scams includes: Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, advance-fee fraud, market manipulation (including “pump-and-dump” schemes), romance scams, employment scams, and phishing scams.</p></div><div class="w-richtext"><h2><strong>Malicious Conduct</strong></h2><p>We want users to enjoy a safe, secure experience on our service. Accordingly, we do not allow activity that could damage or compromise the security of an account, computer network, or system. We use the term “malicious conduct” to refer to phishing, the use of malware, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, among other conduct.<br/></p><p><strong>Phishing</strong> is a deceptive technique used to trick others into revealing sensitive information (such as logins or payment details). Individuals may phish for information with manipulated links or fake websites that appear genuine to convince targets they are trustworthy. <strong>Malware</strong> is any type of software used for malicious purposes — including theft of account credentials and other sensitive information. <strong>Denial-of-service (DoS)</strong> attacks flood a target with traffic to make the resource temporarily or permanently unavailable.</p></div><div class="w-richtext"><h2><strong>Fraud Services</strong></h2><p>We will permanently remove fraudulent services and all efforts to facilitate illegal behavior when we become aware of it. We use the term <strong>fraud services</strong> to refer to coordinated activity that directly attempts or is part of a larger attempt to fraudulently generate profit at the expense of others. Profit can mean monetary or property gain secured from a third party.<br/></p><p>One activity disallowed under this policy is offering access to illicitly-obtained goods — including, but not limited to: account credentials, credit card information, personally identifiable information, and cracked commodity goods. Coordinated efforts to defraud businesses, price gouging, forgery, and money laundering are also not allowed.</p></div><div class="w-richtext"><h2><strong>How to Avoid Violating These Policies</strong></h2><p>We take violations of these policies seriously and will take statements of desire or intent to engage in illegal activities at face value.<br/></p><ul role="list"><li>Don’t send malicious links. This includes “IP grabbers” and other tools that try to collect other people’s sensitive information</li><li>Don’t engage in fraudulent activities.
