Bullying and Harassment
At Discord, we are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all users, which is why we take a firm stance against bullying and harassment. Bullying and harassment are defined as intentional actions meant to cause distress or intimidate individuals. This behavior can have serious consequences and cause lasting harm to both victims and witnesses. We strive to maintain a welcoming community on Discord and expect all users to interact respectfully with one another.
For example, you may not post, share, or engage in:
Threats
We have a strict policy against any form of threats towards others. This includes threats of physical attacks, emotional suffering, reputational damage, and any hostile actions intended to cause pain, loss, or injury. We may escalate threats to law enforcement if we believe it is required to prevent immediate harm.
For example, you may not post, share, or engage in:
