Accounts have NOT all been reinstated, including my own. I've already sent a support ticket and DM'd the support account.
I have MULTIPLE professional working relationships associated with my discord account that I CANNOT RESPOND TO due to this false flag. Please fix this.
Discord has cleared up the rumor that posting grid-style images could get your account permanently banned.
The company said a bug in its moderation system mistakenly flagged some images with grid patterns, including spreadsheets, chessboards, and even Minecraft inventory screenshots, as illegal content.
A second bug also stopped some of those accounts from being automatically restored.
According to Discord, about 200 accounts were wrongly banned over the weekend, and all of them have now been reinstated. The company also revealed the same issue affected more than 8,200 accounts between May and last week, and every one of those accounts has now been restored.
Discord apologized for the mistake, confirmed the bug has been fixed, and said it’s updating its systems to help prevent similar false bans in the future.
