That's in Discord's terms of service as of... I think it was 2019 or so when they added it? Basically you can be banned for conduct on any part of the internet, if it's brought to the attention of moderators who'd want to ban you for such, and if I'm not mistaken, Discord reserves the right to ban you from their entire platform in extreme cases.

Wherever one stands in the debate of speech and rights, it's undeniable that Discord makes it clear in their terms of service that you can be banned for certain views. The best thing you can do if you don't like it is either find an alternative for you and your friends, or if you must use Discord, make sure you don't let people know where to find those sites where you openly espouse those views while you're there.

As long as a server follows Discords Terms of Service, a server is allowed to have their own rules within the ToS. So if I want to make a server where I ban people for talking about Outer Space, it's ridiculous and stupid but I can do it.

What ends up happening often times with independent communities, the community admins/leaders don't pay attention to the place and hand power entirely to their moderators. Favoritism and abuse of power run rampant as they will never be held accountable for doing so. Like getting warned for posting a non-offensive work safe meme but the rules never specified anything against meme posting, really happened to me but I just left that community and got over it. Also vague rules afford unlimited power like no "bigotry" or no being "offensive" since what constitutes bigotry and offensive varies greatly from person to person you may find yourself banned but legit have no idea why.

I still don't know what anti-**** means. I usually take the side of innocent until proven guilty because, like our justice system and media being corrupt, the same can be said for moderators of some communities. But talking about it on this forum where the official Discord server mods are probably the same as they are here on the forum isn't going to help anything. Basically the guy will never be unbanned, ever, forever and will need to deal with it because that's just how it is. Whether he was actually in the wrong or not doesn't even matter. The only thing that matters is how moderators feel and everything else be damned.

But there are reasonable reasons to ban someone cuz of their About Me info because people do click profiles and they do it often so it's the same as saying something unwanted or against the rules of a community.

With such liberal and progressive strides it's harder to keep pace with forbidden words day after day.
I can't even know what the word is because it's censored already.
Oh, what a bright future of democracy and freedom we built ourselves.

The civil war is going to be interesting, that's for sure.

i think it already started....again.
wait, which country are we talking about?

IMO the thread should just have been locked and trashed for off topic instead of banning him. It's probably just a kid playing clown in the forums. I just don't agree with silencing people permanently, even if they are annoying and trying to be lowkey offensive.

We rarely permaban people, a 3 day ban was issued for Rule 3. I will lock this thread though.
