The Account Standing page is a pile of rubbish for one reason only.

I feel like this is a broken record, but there are some major flaws with the Account Standing page, and the violation system in general, and it certainly needs to be addressed in a big way. The easiest way I can think of is by naming the one thing that, I think, seriously dampens the effectiveness of the feature as a whole.

Now, I know this modest thread won't get the amount of support needed for Discord to actually care about it, but this is the first step that I am taking toward letting it be known how much of a joke the feature is at its current state.

The Account Standing page has one major flaw: It fails to properly distinguish whether or not it was you who caused the violation on your account, or if it was someone else in a server that you are a member of who caused the violation (subsequently flagging your account as a result of your association with that server). Without that distinguishment, nothing on the Account Standing page helps, assuming your account wasn't outright disabled. If an account was disabled, I would assume that the e-mail you are supposed to receive about the violation should be the place that also shows the distinguishing details.

For Discord to start doing something about the Account Standing page, it's easier to fixate on one particular flaw, and I think that this is the one to make the biggest difference.

With that said, do you agree? If you do, then create a support ticket under “Feature request” and lay down this suggestion. The more people that do it, the more likely Discord will put it on their roadmap.

Another thing to consider is that it doesn't specify exactly what you did wrong

Well, that isn't something that Discord can easily put into a roadmap. The Discord team will argue that the actual name of the rule they provided in the e-mail is the “wrong thing” that was violated in the TOS or the Community Guidelines.

Knowing whether the violation was your fault or if it was someone else's fault in a server that you happen to be a part of is information that Discord's Account Standing page clearly doesn't intend to show at all in its current state. That, and the name of the actual server it occurred in is information that is also omitted.

Hence, asking them to distinguish that portion will be more likely for them to respond by applying that feature in the current dev roadmap. As for them telling you what the name of the actual server was, well… that's open for interpretation, I suppose. But they'll definitely just say that the “reason” or “What you did wrong” was the thing they list in their e-mail. So that's out.
