Server vanishing for banned users isn't a good idea.

Discord is the only platform where if you're banned, the chatroom literally vanishes as if nonexistent. In virtually every other platform, banned users you can still see and access the chat forum but can't post; but to have the chatroom disappear from your page is where you can't even see it is savage.

It's too easy to get kicked since its moderated by nepotism; it also encourages people to not talk in chat because if you talk, you stand out, and risk getting banned. It's a really outdated platform that encourages stalking. If users can't see a server - they're more likely to make alts to get back in, and DM users who were there. You get invested in the chat and the people, and to have an entire community disappear from your page is unnecessarily cruel. And the private servers are very difficult to get back into.

Here's my idea:

if a server has more than 50 people in it, then banned/kicked users should be allowed to lurk but not post. The server icon stays in the sidebar, but banned users cannot participate in chat. Perhaps admins can opt for the chat CAN be hidden, so long as the server icon stays in the users sidebar.

If a server has more than 150 people in it, then they should be publicly listed online.

Hey Trendy,

When being banned from a server, you are being completely blocked from the viewing all content and any further content. Usually still having access to posts and content after being banned could not be a good idea, as some people may lurk around and could potentially cause harm to the server.

Responding to your idea, 150 users on your server would definitely not be a good idea. If your server was meant to stay private for only maybe your school or some other private community, other people shouldn’t be allowed to join. Third Party Discord Bots like Disboard and top.gg enable you to put your server online and advertise it. In my opinion, having people banned and not being able to view the content is a good thing. You are being banned from viewing their content, further content and also notbeing able to communicate in the server, which is why the whole server in your eyes, as I would put it, has vanished.

I hope this helps!

You can already ban like this by using bots to give a muted role to someone, but it doesn't really prevent people from DMing other members in the server and anyone can circumvent it using an alt account as it's not IP based
