Discord is an excellent place to meet with like-minded people. However, it’s hard to maneuver if you’re still new to the platform. Stick to the article if you desire to understand what happens to disabled Discord accounts. Let’s explore disabled Discord accounts further.
What’s a Disabled Discord Account?
Discord brings gamers and tech lovers together. It lets users engage in stimulating conversations with their friends or new people. The chats can be addicting and overwhelming. Hence, people resort to taking breaks from the platform when the discussions get out of hand or become overwhelming. Instead of deleting your Discord account, you have the option of putting your account on hold without losing all your servers, friends, and conversations. Disabling it gives Discord the impression that you’d wish to come to your account in the future. So, they’ll keep it safe. Disabled accounts show the same information as other active accounts. However, instead of an “active” status, one will see an “offline” status. Discord will not inform other Discordians when you tap the “Disable” button. They can still hit the “Send Friend Request” button. Likewise, their messages will land in your inbox but remain unread until you reactivate your Discord.
Who Can Disable Your Discord?
Apart from Discord and you, no one else has the authority to disable your Discord account. However, someone else may disable your account if the persona has your device and login credentials. Discord often disables users’ accounts if they violate Discord’s community guidelines or ToS. A user gets forcefully logged out. An attempt to re-login will redirect the user to a login screen with a violation notice. Thankfully, Discord often lifts the ban after fourteen days. You’ll have to re-accept Discord’s ToS and community guidelines to reactivate your account.
