- Previously you needed to copy message IDs and submit them via Discord's website, but now Discord directs users to report in-app.
- While you can't report a server in and of itself, if messages from a server are reported and Discord decides the entire server breaks terms of service, it may be removed.
- If you're a parent with concerns over messages your child has received, you can still report them via Discord's website if you have message links.
Reporting via the Discord App
Open Discord. You can report servers by reporting individual harmful messages in that server. If Discord determines that the entire server is violating their terms of use, they will take appropriate action against that server.
Navigate to the harmful message. Select the server where the issue occurred and scroll until you find the offensive message.
Right click or long press the message. On Windows, you can right-click the message, while on Mac you need to Ctrl+click. On Android an iPhone, you can tap and hold on the message until the menu pops up.
Select Report Message. This will begin the message reporting process and pull up a menu with a number of options.
Choose the most fitting option. If there isn't an option that fits what the problem is, select Something else.
Follow the on-screen prompts. Select options that best fit the issue that is occurring. Some options may have more sub-options than others to click through.
Click Submit Report. Once you've finished selecting why the message is harmful, you can click the red Submit Report button to send the report to Discord. Discord will then assess if the message is actually breaking any rules. While you can't report a server in and of itself, once Discord reviews your report, they may determine the entire server breaks ToS and may remove it. Note that Discord may or may not reply to your report. If you don't get a response from Discord, they still have received your report.
Reporting via the Discord Website
Open Discord. If you are a parent who has concerns about messages their child is receiving, there is still an area in Discord's request submission form to report abusive behavior. You can also report these messages in-app using the above method if you have access to your child's Discord account.
Navigate to the harmful messages. Previously, Discord required message IDs when reporting abusive behavior, but now they only require message links.
Right click or long press the message. On Windows, you can right-click the message, while on Mac you need to Ctrl+click. On Android an iPhone, you can tap and hold on the message until the menu pops up.
Select Copy Message Link. This will copy the link to your clipboard. If you need to copy multiple messages, make sure to paste the links into a text file, such as Notepad.
Go to Discord's request submission form. You can access this form here.
Select "Family Center & Support for Parents/Guardians" under "Type of question?". This will populate the next dropdown.
Select "I would like to report concerning or abusive behavior to Discord". This is available in the second dropdown on the page.
Fill out the rest of the form as necessary. Be sure to include accurate information, such as an email you check regularly as well as the message links you copied previously.
Click the Submit button at the bottom. This will send your report to Discord. Note that Discord may or may not be in contact with you about your report.
