I want to propose the change that overall, users should be "on their own" in DMs. What does this mean? It means that if a member is uncomfortable with someone's messages, the member should be instructed to block the other user when they file a report.
Examples of when to block
- General cursing, disrespect and insults that do not violate Discord's Terms of Service
- (This means that racial slurs are still punishable here)
- Spamming / trolling
- Comments that the receiver is uncomfortable with
Examples of when to enforce the rules on the server level
- DM advertising
- Racial slurs
- Scamming
- Pedophilia / grooming
- Discord Terms of Service violation (e.g: under 13, exploits, evading a block (when you block someone and they contact you on an alt), etc.)
- Doxxing
- Anything illegal, really
I feel that it is out of place for HiddenDevs to moderate DMs between users with a few exceptions as listed above. But overall, the end-user should take their own responsibility to block someone that they do not wish to talk to.
