Disavow account (remove email address from fraudulently created accounts)

Zebe

I have a few email addresses across various services (iCloud, gmail, etc) which use very common names such as my (very common) first and last name, or just dictionary words that are popular. It turns out that many people, either through malice, laziness, or simple confusion, frequently type my email addresses into services when they are signing up.

This is a major hassle. Fortunately, two companies -- Twitter and Facebook -- have implemented a simple, one-click way to disavow an account. When I get an email for a Twitter or Facebook account I did not create, I simply click "this isn't my account", which takes me to a page with a single Disavow button. I click that, and my email address is removed from the errant account.

Please consider implementing something similar for Discord. Currently, my only recourse is to submit a support request to delete the account.

    I think this feature would work well on discord.

    Hi, someone I know has also had this issue with their emails, and this would be a good way of sorting it out as we honestly don't know what to do about it.

    @Temps, you can do what I did and contact Discord customer support about it. It takes a couple of weeks to fully resolve each case, and some back and forth with their CSRs, but it's possible. I think that's ridiculous, and probably costing them more money than it would to develop this feature, which is standard across the leading social media sites, so hopefully they will consider prioritizing this.
