One of my friends got scammed via the old "Discord Academy" scam. Was wondering what would be the best query to send to Discord to get in touch with a human. As they've been trying for weeks now, and keep getting automated unhelpful responses. Trying to help a friend out. ^^

Is there any faster way, one could recover an account via past transaction information, or anything like that? (They bought Nitro.)

Also kinda on the same topic, is there an option to ask for 2FA every time without logging out?

rigid night
#
  1. There is no single query. Just wait for 1 response. If needed, reply to the automatic message. Never try to send multiple - you wil be pushed towards the end of the queue.
  2. Nope. It is not possible.
  3. Same as 2.
vagrant root
#

Thanks for your response. Hopefully we get some added security features for Discord soon. I'll let them know to make sure they're replying and not making new tickets.

rigid night
#

No problem. Have fun using Discord, and hope the account gets recovered soon.

oh just figured i got banned from DDevs ._.
thats why i couldnt access the link

They banned me because i had Moderator Acadamy in my name :/

ig contact the mods and ask what to do?

all things considered like... with the scams going around....

#

Yea better they ban me and i appeal because of a false positive then members using their account.
Do you happen to know any mod in there that is currently online?

late void
#

just message the modmail? and explain why and see what they say?

#

i think purpzies mods both places but idk if they have dms open or not

indigo mist
#

got someone in dms now, but i cant modmail the server when i dont have an open dm with modmail

late void
#

i meant the modmail here lol

civic karma
#

even if you had, you didn't share a mutual server with the modmail from DDevs

indigo mist
#

modmail in here has nothing to do with the modmail in there, thats why they have a seperate mod mail in each server @late void

late void

yes, i know.. but there are mods in both places and that would be an easy way to ask who to contact.

Yes that's a scam. Nitro will always always always allow you to redeem it within the client. It will never have a button that takes you to an external siite

You cannot

You cant

Well, not yet at least. More granular slash command perms are coming, but I haven't seen the roadmap recently enough to know off the top of my head if this feature is planning for the initial rework. I believe it is, though.

visual halo
#

Okay

ebon ivy
#

If you want to turn off being able to use specific slash commands in specific channels, I believe that that's something that's done from the bots dashboard if it's supported

I have some questions about the student hubs.
1. if the hubs are usually moderated by the students, why can't they just create them themselves? it would be easy if you just send one application message to the stuff and that's not a big challenge for the stuff i think.
2. how are rights assigned there? anyone could come and "break" everything there.
3. what about schools that don't have a public email but only a locale or none at all?

  1. “Hubs are not officially affiliated with or managed by schools. A Student Hub is a collection of student-run servers. The Hub’s function is to make it easier for classmates to find and join one another’s servers if they choose to do so.” https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406046651927-Discord-Student-Hubs-FAQ
  2. Technically that can happen on any server… so it’s not really a hub specific issue
  3. That’s probably a support question
gentle turret
empty junco
#

Well if it’s set up on the server that has it and gets added to the hub then yes? Tbh just think of hubs as server discovery but for schools

Hi am on mobile, but how do I report underage users? There's a server with a good amount of underage users and two of them have new accounts because they've been reported before. What should I do 😩

#

Many thanks build_bot but ATM same time I can't report them without proof (I only have them saying they are underage on their old deleted account)

#

And who's too say they won't create a new account?

honest scaffold
#

I don't know the specifics of T&S proof standards, but I think that'd be enough for them to at least check it out
There's various ways Discord can utilise the prevent new accounts, none are perfect but they do help

and it will affect only the server, not the ability to directly message

it is better to use the names of Discord official features before deeming it a bot.

idk if they changed that but as of Q4 2021 that was a thing

Alright, thank you. Good day

Way better than 30 second slo mo tho

it won't work if I didn't see your first message - keep your original if you insist

dire pagoda
wispy pasture
#

It's possible to stop users from seeing/using the member list to DM people by removing channel access (or kicking them); but theres no ability to restrict who a person DMs

dire pagoda
#

You can’t hide peoples user list

#

It’s a internal discord function not limited to the mercy of the admins on individual servers.

#

Kicking them might work but it’s awfully tedious

wispy pasture
#

I forgot context for mine ee
It's like, when you're using a gated entry system; where users are put into a waiting room, and admins apply a "Member" role to grant channel access to the rest of the server
Without the role, all you'll see are admins and people in the waiting room

dire pagoda
#

True but the member list will never go away

wispy pasture
#

Yeye

rigid night
#

this proves that we will really need a redesign of the list.

dire pagoda
#

In larger servers this is not a problem but in smaller servers or with enough patience you can find your user on the member list and dm him.

#

Discord should add a “stasis” feature

this might be a dumb question, but it says ive been "playing spotify" and i cant remove it and its not like im listing to music? its really weird do you guys know how i can ive been trying to remove it for like 71348972839478 hours

late void
#

i cant see that you are playing anything

undone fable
#

i hid it but its showing still on my end

late void
#

do you have spotify open?

undone fable
#

no i do not its not the music app which is weird

late void
#

if you turn the setting off in connections does it still show?

undone fable
#

ill try i dont have it-

late void
#

also, is it possible you have it on somewhere else paused and forgot about it? (asking bc .. sometimes people forget and its good to check lol)

undone fable
#

no i havent opened it since last month

late void
#

if you have spotify connected you have that option... are you on mobile or pc?

undone fable
#

its not saying im listing to spotify it says im playing it i dont get it im on pc

late void
#

can you screenshot what its showing you?

undone fable
#

uhh this

late void
#

when you go into connections do you have this card on your profile?

undone fable
#

i dont have connections wait sorry i do

#

its still there

ebon ivy
#

That looks like something else, tbh

late void
#

i was hoping if they yanked it off then discord would stop trying to show it

ebon ivy
#

Cause spotify doesn't have a "playing Spotify" presence, and it doesn't give you the option to stream iit

late void
#

its acting like its a game yeah

undone fable
#

i dont know whats happening

ebon ivy
#

I don't either, but I don't see it on your profile, so i wouldn't give it too much thought

#

You can check the "Activity status" section in User Settings, that should tell you what you're doing

undone fable
#

it wont let me take it down, theres no x or anything

ebon ivy
#

Under activities?

undone fable
#

yeah its green and theres no x and no other things to push

late void
#

activity status? way towards the bottom of the settings? - to ethan

ebon ivy
#

Yes, that's what it is :P
If you have your spotify is connected, then Discord can use what you're listening to as your activity status, similar to if you're playing a game

ebon ivy
undone fable
#

its not the same thing as playing a game because when your playing a game it disconnects after you leave i can turn it on right now i think

plucky yoke
#

Open task manager and see if Spotify is running in the backround maybe

undone fable
#

it isnt ive checked

ebon ivy
plucky yoke
#

Ethan squash this bug. i believe in you.

ebon ivy
#

I'm trying fifiWhy

undone fable
#

it looks like this and its diffrent to listening to music

plucky yoke
#

When you hover over "Now playing" under activity settings does it show you a path on your PC? Something like C://program files/...

undone fable
#

uhhhh yes it does i think

plucky yoke
#

For instance like this. If so where does the path lead to for you?

undone fable
#

what do you mean where it leads? i cant press it or anything

plucky yoke
#

Which program does it say behind the C:/ part? I only ask because maybe it's picking up another backround process as spotify for whatever reason.

#

That still wont explain why it won't let you click X on it though. think3d

undone fable
#

program files/windowapps/spotifyab.spotifymusic_

plucky yoke
#

Yeah that would be Spotify alright. I'm really not sure what to recommend. This is odd.

undone fable
#

may i dm you? i need to leave but i still need some help figuring this out

plucky yoke

The ToS states that the only acceptable way to interact with Discord (as a user) is through the official clients. They don't often take action against BD users, but the potential is there.

eternal ravine
#

Additionally, third-party clients can run into compatibility issues with new updates, and can be potentially more vulnerable to security vulnerabilities given that they're generally made by just a few people.

meager nymph
#

Basically, not only are you placing yourself at risk by using the modification client on the legal side, you also risk your privacy and information given to third-parties.

Using BetterDiscord is:

  1. Clearly violating T&C with use of a modified client.
  2. Asking for trouble when you end up exposing your account because of functions you mess around with.

@soft sentinel

cosmic viper
#

hey can someon tell me why is the purpose of switch account in discord

#

even if it beta version users can just log out and in then why there is this switch account function

wraith gate
#

switching accounts quickly

cosmic viper
#

isn't tihs agains the rules to have multiples accounts

#

I believe its against the rules to use multiple account to bypass bans and such, but i dont think just using multiple accounts is inherently against the rules

#

Something I have wanted for awhile was an easier way to switch accounts, happy to see its being looked at

#

oh ok

#

though i did ban someone in the past he was annoying he created multiple accounts and start asking to be unban until he got unbanned should i report him or what exactly

#

we are friends now and stuff but what about early

#

@cosmic viper

late void
#

Some people have an extra account for good reason, like bot testing and such. So account switcher would be very nice for them

cosmic viper
#

plus why some of you saying being from discord is different than being banned froma seerver

late void
#

Can you rephrase that? I don't understand what you are asking.

cosmic viper
#

Thats the main guideline regarding this, you can interpret this however you see fit

#

then why people say server ban is different than discord ban if those two count as ban evading

#

Being banned from one server != being account banned as a whole

#

how aren't they both against tos

#

How is both of what not against TOS?

#

wdym

#

thats what im asking you, what are you asking me?

#

alright look you said account ban evade is against tos

#

against guidelines

#

yes that but what about server why somepeople say it's against tos and guideline while other does not

#

Why do some people say its against the rules and some people say it isnt against the rules?

cosmic viper
#

and this

rancid linden
#

Hm...tho I wonder would it be considered ban evasion if you already had multiple accounts prior to the banhammer

cosmic viper
#

If those accounts were hidden, and the person moderating the server intended you to be gone on all accounts, then yes

rancid linden
#

Inb4 you use your dusty backup account to pretend to be someone new.

cosmic viper
#

ok so ban evading is against discord guideline but i did unban him after that should i report him

cosmic viper
#

i don't want to report my friend but it just that you know

#

@cosmic viper

#

What

cosmic viper
#

If you dont want to report him, and you forgave him, then dont. If you do and you dont forgive him, then report him. This isnt as hard as youre making it

#

oh ok

cosmic viper
#

I was invited by force without wanting to go to the server please help me, it happens to me all the time!

cosmic viper
#

I have a IOS

empty junco
#

Ah then you will have to wait until you can get to desktop

cosmic viper
#

is creating an alt to talk with people about your ban from server with the other admin coount as ban evade since it just different from someone just creating alt to annoy people just like my friend did does the rule still apply to him for ban evade

hearty gull
#

I’m kinda confused by what you said, but if you make an alt to talk to someone who has blocked or banned you that is evasion.

cosmic viper
#

i know but it different from someone getting banned for being annoying while someone getting banned and he want to talk about the reasoning

late void
#

yes it counts as evasion. If you are creating a way to get into a server with another account.. lol
it doesnt matter what the reason is. or if you feel like it shouldnt count.

cosmic viper
#

that how my friend did well it before we became friends but still

late void
#

if a server doesnt have a way to appeal bans- it doesnt matter, move on.

cosmic viper
#

most of the servers don't have that lol

late void
#

Shrug and it doesnt matter. trying to get around a ban by using another account is ban evasion

cosmic viper
#

are you saying that if someone is being annyoying and someone who want to explain himself are the same

late void
#

If they are going around a ban using an alternate account.. its ban evasion.

cosmic viper
late void
#

its to stop people from making new accounts and rejoining on them after they have been banned. That you may feel its unjustified doesnt matter. A server can ban someone for any reason they like and no one is allowed to go around that ban.

cosmic viper
#

yes but why were they banned in the first place

late void
#

It doesnt matter at all lol
as i said.. a server can ban anyone they like for any reason they like.

rancid linden
#

There's always the report function if the ban was more of harm that of rules

cosmic viper
#

if someone is beiing annoying ofc you will ban him but if he changed and become good will he still deserve the ban or for example being wrongly banned or someone who want to discuess his situation are you saying all of these are equivalant to being annoying

late void
#

not really. a server doesnt have to allow people in there. They can ban anyone they like for any reason even if you dont like the reason

#

and they do not have to allow people back in even if they changed.

cosmic viper
#

yes but still it won't count as ban evading

latent sleet
#

Evading a ban in any way is ban evading.

#

Creating a new account to go into the same server is ban evading

#

Because you're evading the ban

cosmic viper
#

since it different

latent sleet
#

It's not

#

You're circumventing the ban

hearty gull
rancid linden
#

If I'm getting this right, you're just describing how someone would appeal for their ban by doing ban evasion.

cosmic viper
#

my friend created an alt before to contact me after being banned are you saying this is the equivalnt of idk someone being annoying and then got banned so he rejoin to contine his mishief

latent sleet
#

So they used a different account to avoid being banned

cosmic viper
#

yep

latent sleet
#

That is ban evasion

cosmic viper
#

but it was for good reason lt not like idk banning a raider for him just to create an alt account and rejoin

latent sleet
#

There is no good reason for ban evasion.

#

If you're banned from something, use the method the server has put in place to appeal the ban. If there is none, then you're screwed.

#

Evading a ban by creating a new account is a perfect way to get reported for ban evasion.

cosmic viper
#

so am i now contractliy appligited to report my friend

hearty gull
#

No

#

Your friends actions don’t have anything to due with you.

civic plume
#

is it possible to only view files on desktop as opposed to downloading? The only time viewing is an option for me is on my phone but on my computer when i click on the file it begins to download

honest scaffold
#

@civic plume I'm not sure what you mean by viewing files as opposed to downloading them on mobile, though I think this might help: Files generally either render (ex: image uploaded to chat), display as an expandable file (text files uploaded to chat) or just show that it is a file
In the last case, there isn't a way to view it without downloading it in some way - if your browser supports it, I'd suggest copying the attachment link, pasting it in your browser, then using your browser to open the file - though of course, this does still download the file to a tmp directory, it just gets automatically removed whenever you close the tab/window
Note that this should work for all files, if your browser can render it (executables for example wouldn't be able to be displayed)

# rigid night It depends on the bots, but in practice, **both** bots are affected.

@autumn ginkgo
Actually, if there are two boys with the same command, I'm talking about slash commands here, discord gives you the choice which bot to send the command to. Example, the command is /ping, then discord will show the bot's name, the command under the name, and then the second bot's name and it's command under the name

Like:

Bot01
ping                       Shows bot ping

Bot02
ping                       Gives bot ping

/ping

If i wanted to report a user promoting a site which impersonates discord.com, how can I do the same? I want to report both, the site and the user. I checked the report site but it doesn't have an option for discord impersonation, nor can I understand which category such a user will fall under

How to get gif emoji id without having nitro like the \ before the emoji !YK_Wumpus_Sniff

amber vigil
#

isnt that the id

marble zephyr
#

so

#

im just trying to understand how server boosts work rn xD

#

so if i buy 1 year discord nitro (not classic) .. im essentially paying 50 dollars to have 2 server boosts that last a year right?

empty junco
#

If it’s actually 50 dollars for you then yes

marble zephyr
#

and if i dont want that, and i pay half for 1 year nitro classic

#

then i have to pay 5 dollars a month per boost?

empty junco
#

Yes

marble zephyr
#

but it says 30% off with nitro
so 3,50$ per boost

#

so thats 42$ per year, for one boost

empty junco
#

Yes? Tbh not totally sure how that works since I’ve never bought a individual boost

marble zephyr
#

so.. if you want boosts basically just pay for full nitro

Splash backgrounds are for invites - they show up when you open an invite - whereas banners are displayed at the top of the channel list

Hey, small question for the moderators. If you write in your about me that you are under 13. Do it violate the ToS? (Have a person on my server)

hearty gull
#

Yes

#

You aren’t required to ban them, but you probably should. You should probably also report them to support

If they have admitted to being under 13 then yes

how do i report someone who is catfishing as someone else i know? they havent send any messages so there are not any message links

eternal ravine
#

Can you explain what you mean without vague terms? "catfishing as someone else" isn't the most clear. Are they just copying someone's display name and pfp? Just report them to server mods if it's against the rules of whichever server you're in.

My server keeps getting raided with spambots. We have a bot that bans them all as soon as they join but the 500+ bots that keep joining when we get these raids are messing with the server's retention stat. Even though they're banned it messes up the number and will make it harder for us to apply for partner in the future. Any idea how to prevent it from messing up the stats

eternal ravine
#

I thought short-duration members didn't affect retention?

summer bear

None of this seems like a ToS violation, so again, report it to mods in a server in which you believe it may violate the server rules. I don't really know what you expect to happen here?

# thick sky What is it and how do I get it?

ids are unique numeric identifiers used for everything from channels/messages/users/servers/emojis/etc., most things have ids attached to them
They're generally 17-19 digit numbers that look like this: 418076727852531712 - that's your user ID - The full (developer) reference for ids can be found here: https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#snowflakes

As for how to get the ID of a specific emoji, you'd do it the same way you'd get the ID of a regular emoji: either put a slash before it if you have access to the emoji, copy the link of the emoji, or use inspect element to grab it directly from the page source

You have to contact support. Nothing anyone in this server can do.

This is not a support server, hence why nothing anyone here can do for you.

I think you’re just gonna have to live without the badge. If support didn’t do anything then they probably cannot help you.

#

But If you got an automated response from them then I would wait a bit more to see if a real person contacts you back

#

I know how it feels to lose a badge because my old account got hacked with the early supporter badge and support didn’t do anything about it, so I’m sorry this happened to you.

Even if your PC's time is correct, is your PC's time zone correct? E.g. if it's 5pm EST and your PC is showing 5pm, the time is showing right if you're in EST, but if your PC is set to PST instead, then Discord will show 2pm instead.

Hello everyone 😊 I hope everything's good and you're having a nice day. It's my first interaction in the server and of all things it had to be in the peer-help channel 😅 I hope that's ok. I'll try to write briefly the issue I'm looking an answer for. I'd greatly appreciate help and all or any reply regarding this issue would be helpful. I apologise in advance if anything I mention here regarding Discord is incorrect, feel free to point out the mistake.

I'm not sure this information helps but the "region" I'm in is South America and the issue is that we currently have more than 25 teachers in a server that would use the voice channel for live chat, and including the moderators/coordinators when we reach the 25 people connected in the VC with video (camera, not sharing screen) the channel is temporarily blocked for others to join. We've managed to solve the blocking issues by raising the number of people who can join the channel (e.g. up to 52). However, we thought the current number for video use was 50 (I read somewhere it could be 100 but very doubtful), so we are trying to find a possible solution for this, if there is one. One of the main solutions we thought of would be to boost the server in level 1 so we could check if this limit of 25 would be raised.
Is it possible to have more than 25 people with video on, in a voice channel? If so, how would I go about this? And what would be the current maximum of people allowed in a vc using video?

Thank you for any and all help 🤗

# cosmic viper Hi, this is very important for me, do you know if there is a solution to be able...

There is a way to recover dms (last time I checked anyway)
If you have a way to get back the user ID (eg through bot logs), then copy it to some lookup website and you'll see some "Deleted User XY465SD#1234" or smth like that or alternatively, look at the ban list and it should show it there too, just check which one is the good one
Then copy paste that and send a request to that account and you'll be able to open your dms with that user

#

an example of how it should look like

As far as I'm aware, it's not possible when it's just Deleted User#0000

This wont work btw. Deleted User#0000 all share the same UID regardless of server so trying to open a message with it would just fail nor would you get redirected to their un-deleted account's messages.

Clicking "Message" doesn't actually open any DMs.

And on mobile, you get an error toast saying its an invalid recipient.

I have an Elgato Wave 3 as a mic, and ever since I got it, I have been having times where my mic will just stop being received by discord, and when discord acts up, I also loose the ability to hear people.

This has been for the past few weeks and I'm getting tired of it now. Does anyone know what might be going on? (no other program has these issues.)

There are no software or firmware updates anywhere (OS, Discord, The mic, the headset, etc.).

When I switch the audio input to something else, the mic will respond, but will shortly after just stop. (the mic test freezes with about 5 or so bars still lit up, as if audio is coming through, and when I have the mics program open for updating it, it sill shows that audio is coming through the mic.)

Any help at all would be appreciated, and if you think that I should go to Discord for help, lmk. (Just wasn't sure if this was something else that someone has experienced, and knew how to fix.)

If you can reset your password then yes. Most of these gets locked out of their account, email & password change. Worst case haven't saved backup codes from 2FA, which reduces the chances to nearly 0% chance of getting your account back iirc.

tell them to change their password, most likely the hacker isn't gonna use their account so you can safely communicate and tell them to change their pass @unborn lily

hallow owl
# pearl urchin i said no to that isn't the only thing you can do. as far as i know there is no ...

In some cases you get redirected to a fake login site and if you choose to try and login, your credentials will then be stolen from there. And you can change password without a verification, as long as they have your login credentials iirc, but you do need to be able to login. A lot of online users also uses the same password everywhere for some dumb reason. Others might do it in another way, but eventually you end up at the same end-location.

#

And worst part is, they can change your email and password so damn easily. Because they only have to verify the change on the new email.

You can also change the notifications to a different corner in your Discord overlay settings and some more stuff like only show people when speaking

#

it is for some special people only

#

yeah, but you dont have permission
you must attend on a local discord events to join hypesquad events server
must pass the discord moderator academy exam which i failed for the 3rd time to join discord moderator discord
must own a partnered server to join discord partners server

#

it is really hard

#

you must pass these requirement

ebon ivy
#

Those requirements are just to be eligible. You still need to pass the review process to determine if you'd be a good fit to be a partner

rancid musk
#

the activity req is hard

Have at least 50 communicators (people who actively talk) per week. This means that in your server, at least 50 unique people should be regularly engaging in your community, such as posting a message. They can be a different set of 50 people per week.
Have at least 100 participators (people who at least visit/view your server) per week. This includes actions such as viewing, reading, posting messages and reacting to posts. If people are at least checking your server out regularly, whether or not they actually post a message, they will be counted here.
Having at least a 20% Week 1 Retention over a 8 week period. Enforced only for servers that are actively growing, this requirement means that at least ⅕ of new members stay on your server for at least a week. 
This does not include users who join and immediately leave, and you’ll never be negatively impacted by being featured on Server Discovery

and you must pass the review process as ethan said

#

and if you are in discord partners server you can get 100% discord_badge_nitro discount as long as you are staying in that server as part of partners program

And what if it’s your only option because you lost your backup codes and authenticator app because you got a new phone?

cosmic viper
#

(although twitter, the case can be applied anywhere)

cosmic viper
empty junco
cosmic viper
#

not at all

empty junco
#

It does otherwise discord wouldn’t have that banner or have it literally suggested in a support article

cosmic viper
#

with authy you can literally log into your account from anywhere so it doesn't at all

empty junco
#

That’s only if you 1. Remember auth is what you used and 2. Remember your login which if your phone gets destroyed you don’t probably have access to

cosmic viper
#

1 well bruh you're going to be using it when you log in and 2 then put it preemptively on your pc

empty junco
#

Banana I think you forgot about how people only have access to a phone and not a pc

cosmic viper
#

not a whole load of people though

empty junco
#

You would really be surprised especially in a developing country

hallow owl
#

2FA is pretty good.

  1. Losing your backup codes? Ever heard about writing, taking pictures etc and putting it in a safe or folder. Not on your device, because that in itself is a problem.
  2. Only having username and password for security is weak and a security risk as well.
  3. SMS is fine on certain points.
  4. Some countries in the earlier stages of being a developing country, doesn't have many computers outside of work environments.

In discords situation there are worse things going on, regarding accounts and security. Than a simple 2FA. It would be, that you can change email and password, without verifying the transfer with the old email. You only need to verify with the new email.

#

And it is overall recommended to use 2 Auth EVERYWHERE possible, and change your passwords on a regular basis. So I would say your statement regarding 2 Auth is completely wrong. And You're more at risk without it.

eternal ravine
# cosmic viper then use authy but it's still a bad idea to use sms at all for that kind of thin...

While true, you're committing the common sin of over-balancing security against usability. An SMS hack is a very uncommon, very targeted attack. This is not an attack vector that an average user should be concerned about, and really shouldn't even factor into most people's threat model. What's far more common would be losing account access because you dropped your phone in a toilet and didn't have a backup of your TOTP token. No security is perfect - it all comes down to reasonable protection against a realistic threat model.

Hey does anybody know how to fix discord on phone because my friend has a glitch we're he can't do anything he tried deleting discord and reinstalling it then looked on YouTube for a fix then contacted discord support and nothing worked does anybody know how to fix it

dire pagoda
#

Please give me more context maybe I can help. What is wrong?

nocturne cargo
#

He's just getting some error

dire pagoda
#

Has he looked up the error online?

nocturne cargo
#

It said along the lines of something going on here

dire pagoda
#

Where is he getting the error displayed?

nocturne cargo
#

I'll ask him tomorrow because he went to bed a while ago

dire pagoda
#

There is several possible things that could happen. I’ll look into it if you have a question @ me.

#

My question is has he been logged out?

nocturne cargo
#

No

dire pagoda
#

Ok so it’s not a hack, discord suspending you for repeated messages to random people through a server, or a discord error.

#

What does the error restrict him from. Viewing messages, Viewing servers or something else?

nocturne cargo
#

All

dire pagoda
#

He has been completely locked out of all functions of discord.

#

I am not familiar with suspensions and bans on discord that is a possibility

nocturne cargo
#

Also can he sgin out too

dire pagoda
#

Has he tried signing out and then logging in?

nocturne cargo
#

Yep

dire pagoda
#

Internet status?

nocturne cargo
#

Idk

dire pagoda
#

If you have the error code that would be extremely helpful unfortunately with out the error code there are a lot of possibilities.

#

I recommend waiting and getting the error code and asking for help.

nocturne cargo
#

Alright I contact again when I get it

dire pagoda
#

Discord official coms are a good idea they know their system better than me

nocturne cargo
#

Were do I contact them

dire pagoda
#

Search up discord customer support on google

empty junco
dire pagoda
#

Thank you yes

nocturne cargo
#

Alright

No prob even though I just asked a shit load of questions on the longest slo mo channel.

can i retake national discord moderator academy exam if i didnt pass this time

Changing your password changes your token so they are not useless

hoary otter
magic lodge
#

You need more than the token to change the password if you have 2FA enabled

hoary otter
#

he renew all the 2FA + backup code .. so I cant login anymore

#

fun fact: discord cant help me anything, also the hacker just abandoned my account

#

rn I am just chilling with this new account and wondering when my main account is online

magic lodge
#

So I just checked

#

They need 2FA to change the password
They need 2FA to disable 2FA
They need password to generate new 2FA codes

So unless 2FA was disabled or they had your password as well, you cannot change a password with just the token

rare quartz
#

afaik with token you can see backup codes without pass and then use that to disable 2fa

magic lodge
#

You need password to view backup codes

whats the point of the character limits of about me's when discord just cuts it off anyway with no way to see more?

honest scaffold

It's data stored by discord, so presumably they don't want to have ridiculously long about me's, both from a storage and API standpoint shrugsify
And fwiw, you can view cut-off about me's via developer tools -> network, whenever you click on someone's profile

True but you really shouldn’t be doing that
@empty junco is there a particular reason for that? dogtilt they specifically kept the developer tools (or created a way to enable them for stable), when they could've just hid them altogether, no? Provided you know what you're doing, or only looking, there's not really a harm in it imo and afaik

You can, you just need to enable it in settings.json

ebon ivy
#

That's... a modification of the client I believe

honest scaffold
#

It's a supported one I assume given it was shared by a discord staff member in response to a question about it

ebon ivy
#

They specifically turned it off for a reason--

empty junco
honest scaffold
#

Yeah, I understand them not having it enabled by default for what is probably most of the user base, but I think it's safe to inform specific people when questions come up

empty junco
#

Better not to in all honesty

honest scaffold
#

Is it not safe to assume that most people with access to the developer tools do know what they're doing?

empty junco
#

It’s definitely not

late void
#

no

#

most people who used it did it to pretend at knowing what they were doing. as a flex lol

honest scaffold
#

Now that it's been restricted, I mean

and oh well :c that's too bad

eternal ravine
#

They also turned it off for security - telling people to paste some js into the console to "enable secret features" is common, and usually ends up being code that steals their token instead.

Define "not working." What's the issue? What makes you think it isn't working? What specifically is not happening that you expect to happen?

That's not how the feature works :P
Originally, if you typed out a message but didn't send it, and sent a gif, the message got deleted. Now it doesn't

You do know windows 7 is discontinued right?

You should upgrade as soon as possible to keep your pc safe.

#

"After January 14, 2020, PCs running Windows 7 no longer receive security updates. Therefore, it's important that you upgrade to a modern operating system such as Windows 10, which can provide the latest security updates to help keep you and your data safer. In addition, Microsoft customer service is no longer available to provide Windows 7 technical support. Related services for Windows 7 are also also being discontinued over time. For example, certain games such as Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers as well as Electronic Program Guide for Windows Media Center are scheduled to be discontinued in January 2020."

Does it show up in mutual servers? And if so, are sure that you're supposed to have permissions to view channels? as if you don't have any roles and @ everyone has no permissions, you won't be able to see anything

If the link has unlimited uses and it's a public server, I'd be happy to test it for you to get a second experience (share in DMs if so, fairly certain invite links are filtered here)
