Dangerous and Regulated Goods

Safety is one of our top priorities at Discord. Therefore, we do not allow the buying, selling, or trading of dangerous or regulated goods. We consider a good to be dangerous if it could reasonably cause or assist in causing real-world, physical harm to people. We consider a good regulated if there are laws in place that restrict the purchase, sale, trade, or ownership of the good. This includes, but is not limited to, firearms, explosives, tactical gear, imitation firearms, illicit drugs, marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco.

For example, you may not post, share, or engage in:
