How to report someone on Discord?

As any Discord knows (or should know), any Discord user has its own rules alongside the global management of the central Discord platform, and any person should obey them. If you think somebody has broken the law or has sent you some inappropriate content or whatever, it is better to report him on Discord.

This article will show you how to report somebody or something on Discord with two main methods.

How to report someone to a Discord server moderator

If you want to report somebody on Discord, you first need to talk with the server moderator. Server moderators could be the creator of the server or the support team and have the ability to remove messages and ban users. This sentence means that they can help deal with troublesome users.

How do you know who the moderator is? You can click on the user’s name and check their role. If it says “Admin” or “Moderator,” this is the person you are looking for it. If the person has a crown next to their name, it means that they are the server owner. This person would be a good option as well.

In this case, you have to send a message privately to the moderator and explain why you want to report someone or something. If the moderator ignores you or doesn’t act on your report, this is time to contact directly with the Trust & Safety team on Discord.
