This also includes requests to find certain people. However, please note that polls or contests created specifically for the subreddit are allowed, provided that you have been given approval through modmail beforehand.

Comments and posts that are intended to attack or insult other users are not allowed.

If someone attacks you personally, please don't retaliate by returning insults or personal attacks. Instead, report it to the moderators so that they can take appropriate action. - Discrimination
Attacks based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, nationality, ancestry, or religion are prohibited. Civil discussion is permitted, but using these traits as weapons is not. - Witch-Hunting
Spreading a negative campaign against a particular group of people or a specific individual by sharing their information with others is not allowed. This includes raiding servers/users. In addition, this rule also requires that all usernames and display names are blurred out regardless of intent. This is to protect the privacy of the user in question, as we cannot verify if the usernames and display names are completely different. - Calls to Action

This subreddit is not the appropriate place to raise appeals, complaints, requests, or raise awareness related to account or server enforcement or similar issues where the community cannot be of any help. Please [search Discord's support knowledge base](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us) for answers or send a ticket to Discord’s [support team](https://dis.gd/contact).

It is highly recommended to avoid using such software to ensure the security of your Discord account. - Third-Party Bot Support

Bug reports should be shared directly with Discord. You can use the Bug Megathread pinned to the front page or submit a [bug report](https://dis.gd/bugreport) Learn about bugs [here](https://dis.gd/bugs) for instructions! While feature requests and feedback inspire awesome discussions on the subreddit, we encourage sharing them with Discord directly via a [Discord Feedback](https://dis.gd/feedback) submission.
