What happens After I Submit a Report?

We use a combination of automated and human-powered review methods to process reports. Report review times may fluctuate due to process changes, volume surges, technical issues, and backlogs.

While not every report identifies a violation of Discord’s policies, your reports help us improve and enhance Discord's safety practices. 

When you submit a report, your identity is not shared with the account you reported. This is true even if the report is appealed. We never intentionally disclose the identity of a reporter unless we are legally required to do so. Examples of when this may be the case are if Discord receives valid legal process requiring us to provide the identity of the reporter and requests to remove content under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). The DMCA allows the reported user to request further details about the complaint, including the name and email address of the claimant, a description of the allegedly infringed work, and the reported content. In such cases, Discord provides this information in accordance with copyright law requirements.
