User:Dormiebasne/Discord harrassment explainer

Bullying and Harassment At Discord, we are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all users, which is why we take a firm stance against bullying and harassment. Bullying and harassment are defined as intentional actions meant to cause distress or intimidate individuals. This behavior can have serious consequences and cause lasting harm to both victims and witnesses. We strive to maintain a welcoming community on Discord and expect all users to interact respectfully with one another.

Threats We have a strict policy against any form of threats towards others. This includes threats of physical attacks, emotional suffering, reputational damage, and any hostile actions intended to cause pain, loss, or injury. We may escalate threats to law enforcement if we believe it is required to prevent immediate harm.

How to Avoid Violating These Policies Please report and leave servers dedicated to any of the violative content described above. Discord may also take action against accounts that are present in violative servers. ‍ If you are not sure whether a piece of content might violate these policies, don’t post it Don’t engage in behavior that may intimidate or cause suffering to others Don’t threaten to harm another individual or group of people How to Report Violations of These Policies Reporting safety violations is critically important to keeping you and the broader Discord community safe. All Discord users can report policy violations by following the instructions here. For more information on these policies, please reference our Community Guidelines #1 and #2.

Resources If you or another user is in danger, we encourage you to contact law enforcement immediately to report the situation, regardless of how much information you have or are able to provide.
