Unfortunately, Discord has no way to allow for ban appeals within the app. You cannot message a bot that does not share a server with you, and you cannot message users without first friend-requesting them. As such, people have come up with creative workarounds to allow for ban appeals. This wikiHow will show you how to set up a form for ban appeals.
Steps
-
1Choose a service to create an online form with. Popular free options include Google and Microsoft Forms. These store forms as part of your cloud storage online on your Google or Microsoft Account. Some Discord bots even come with their own form generators.
-
2Create a new form. This depends on which service you are using. For example, in Google Forms, visit https://forms.google.com/ and click on the "New Form" button.Advertisement

3Prompt for Discord user ID and tag. The Discord UID is a unique unchanging identifier that allows for finding of specific users. A user can be unbanned by using a Discord ID, even if their tag has changed.
-
4Decide if you want email collection. Email collection is useful if you want to send a response back to the original poster. You can then let them know of the result when they finish their appeal.
-
5Ask questions pertaining to their ban. Common questions for ban appeals include "What rules did you violate?", "How did your actions violate the rules?", and "Why do you believe your ban should be lifted?" Other questions include "Do you believe your punishment was fair?" or "Are you able to rejoin the server?"
-
6Publish your form. Once you have worked out questions for your ban appeal form, you can publish your form and start collection. It is preferred to set up a webhook to ping moderators every time a ban appeal is submitted so they can review as soon as possible.
-
7Blacklist users that send spam into your form. If a banned user misuses the form to send hate comments or multiple consecutive appeals, you should set up a bot that deletes these appeals automatically.Advertisement
