    1. You have no proof.

    2. Look at the section you are in, this is the API section.

    3. Hypesquad Events or just regular Hypesquad?

    You have no proof. Discord does not ban users unless they have evidence a user is likely under 13 (such as mentioning own age).

    > She has hype squad and is very sensitive with cursing, dark jokes and people correct their grammar. I think you should deal with her.

    This isn't against Discord TOS.

    Lol, you don't have any proof so why would you report them? Don't report a user just because you think they're underage.

    The blocking I can explain- she doesn't want to be called under the age of 13 and you're just annoying her about it. Just leave her alone lol.

    If you have any type of message id which showcases her admitting to being -13 submit a report to discord 

    If you do not, I'd simply recommend informing any server mods (which share a server with you and her) that she has a high chance  of being -13, so if she does admit to being -13 that the mods will take appropriate action and report the user to discord (while banning the user.)

    Im having the same problem, except i do have message id's with another account.
    the proof is high with the
    constant lying
    admittance that he/she is 8 years old
    and when i said that he/she is underage, instantly said something along the lines of
    *oop meant to say 14 xd*

    Is there any easier ways to reporting people on discord PC?

    there is this dude that says he's 12 and actually sounds like 10 and he's in a discord servers with people older than him and he's getting bullied in those servers and he's not having a good behaviour.
    his code is 747019107760603158.

    Submit a report to discord then, this is the API section of discord and is not meant for reporting individual users.

    a) "seems about" isn't really good enough. Also, it's hard to get actual "proof" of someone being underage, except for them explicitly stating that. Discord cannot and should not judge a user's age based on an image of them, so that wouldn't work. Discord staff also generally don't do much about a general claim that a user's self is underage, as they could be joking or could be lying about their age for whatever reason.

    b) You are in the API section: multiple users have already said this.

    c) "please take my word about it" definitely works on a platform such as Discord...

    So there was a user called soggyglittertoes#6342 and just by the name you can tell that he is underaged. I was friends with him for over 5 months now but when I realized that he was in the same state as I was/Delaware we decided we meet at the local McDonald's for a break and when I biked there and met him he was just 11 years old and he told me that. By the time when I got home I started to worry. I started to worry because he is a little kid and we where both in a server where peoppe swear a bit and sometimes post memes that are not so child friendly. And I found out this kid what not doing what he should and he tricked her mother into believing that didcord is a place where he had alot of friends on and was child friendly. I am writing this report because I am scared that this kid is going to learn some bad stuff on discord.

    OOPS, ACCIDENTALLY COPIED IT

  • pxpcandy

    Lavamab, Discord is legally abided to do this due to COPPA (of course proof is needed which wasnt provided from my knowledge)

    It is COPPA law, which is why Discord cannot allow users under 13. By allowing users that they are very aware are under 13, this can lead to legal trouble.

    the law cant justify discrimination

    its just not right

  • lavaman/nightking

    banning someone for being a certain age is like banning someone for being a human, they cant help it

    Kids are stupid, that's why its a law.

    It's not discrimination, stop being slow.

    Lavaman, just because you don't agree with the law doesn't meant you dont have to follow it. Also, there are (sadly) pedophiles and other terrible people on Discord that will abuse or use kids, also why COPPA exists

  • lavaman/nightking

    SO?, IT SHOULD BE THE CHILDREN'S DECISION ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THOSE PEDOS

  • lavaman/nightking

    ALSO WHATS WITH THIS PENDING APPROVAL FEATURE?!

  • lavaman/nightking

    ALSO THE LAW CANT JUSTIFY YOU BANNING SOMEONE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES, AND ALSO, MOST KIDS ARE VERY SMART, SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT UR SAYING IS DUMB

  • pxpcandy

    You must be underage to be using this app I assume from the way you're responding.

    1: Kids tend to be uneducated on topics, especially about online safety, and even if they are edcuated they probably don't understand the consequenses
    2: It can! They legally have to ban them due to them being under the age of 13, if something bad happens to the child or if they don't include the fact that all users must be 13+, they can get into a lawsuit and from what I know of, lose Discord all together. Either way, the law doesn't care about opinions, it justifies right and wrong
    3: Telling me that what I'm saying is dumb is uncalled for and also not a good response, just saying

    As stated many times, it is COPPA law. Just because someone doesn’t agree with the law does not mean they don’t have to follow it.

    COPPA prohibits websites from collecting data from users under 13 without parent permission. Signing up, sending messages, etc. are considered collecting data. And Discord (and many websites) don’t do parent permission exception to avoid disputing if a user has had permission from parents.

    Take YouTube for an example. They were fined for collecting data from users watching videos that were clearly towards kids under 13. Yes, we all probably get that COPPA regulations suck, but it is the law.
