FAQ

  1. 1
    Are bans on Discord permanent? Not necessarily. Server bans are from server admins, and you can appeal the admins to request getting unbanned. If your account is banned, anyone from your IP address cannot join that server.
    • However, there are system-wide bands from the Discord Trust & Safety team that will make it so you can't use the platform at all.
  2. 2
    What happens if you ban someone on Discord? That person can no longer send or receive messages in that server. And since banning by default includes the IP address of that account, anyone with the same IP address will be banned from that server. The person you banned won't get a notification, but they will see a "Link expired" error when they try to see your server.
  3. 3
    Can you ban someone again after unbanning them? Yes. Even if someone has been banned and unbanned, you can ban them again.
  4. 4
    How do I get unbanned? You can't really get unbanned until the server admin decides to unban you. You can reach out to that person and apologize for your behavior to get unbanned.
    • If you were banned by Discord, you can submit a request to get unbanned as long as you weren't in violation of their Community Guidelines.
