People get banned. Sometimes they had it coming, but not always. You might have been banned by a misclick, or worse, a bot. Silly bots, they have absolutely no understanding of context. Whatever the reason, there are plenty of people who get banned without actually doing anything wrong. And sometimes, people break the rules by accident, and just want a second chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the case, the team here at PIA VPN believes in second chances \u2013 and the fallibility of bots \u2013 so we\u2019re here to help. If you want to try to get yourself unbanned, there are some things you can try.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All it takes is a few minutes, some help from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/\">PIA VPN<\/a>, and \u2013 in the worst case scenario \u2013 the willingness to apologize for any misunderstandings.

If you think you\u2019ve been banned in error, try to message the relevant parties directly to make your case, and politely ask to be unbanned. If it was a mistake, you\u2019ll likely be reinstated to the server in short order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have the server creator or moderator in your friends list, try to find another friend who is also on the server. Ask them if they\u2019ll talk to the moderators on your behalf, and make your case for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/unnamed-2-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28637\" style=\"width:180px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/unnamed-2-1.png 500w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/unnamed-2-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/unnamed-2-1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-join-with-another-account-and-a-vpn\"><strong>Join With Another Account and a VPN<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have any other way to contact the people in charge, there is a way to get around the ban. It requires two ingredients: a new Discord account, and a different IP address. You can do it in a couple of minutes with PIA \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/unblock-websites\/discord-vpn\">best VPN for Discord<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log out of Discord<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a new account with a separate email address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign up for PIA VPN and install it on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect to a VPN server location where your Discord server is available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join the Discord server again<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that last part might be a little tricky, unless you can find an invite code posted somewhere public. If you can\u2019t, there\u2019s a process you can follow to join the server again on PC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to Discord\u2019s Settings page, then to Privacy &amp; Safety. On the right side menu, check the box that says Developer Mode. Then, look in the Discord Server List page for the server you got banned from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right click on it, and select \u201cCopy ID.\u201d Now go into a browser window, and type in: \u201cdiscordapp.com\/api\/guilds\/[paste the number you copied here, no brackets]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press \u201cEnter\u201d and you\u2019ll see the Discord app pop up with an invite to join the server again. Once you\u2019re in, don\u2019t hesitate to contact the relevant parties and state your case via direct message. Don\u2019t ask about your ban on the server itself. Unless it was a total accident, it probably won\u2019t go well for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-caveat-phone-number-verification-could-trip-you-up\"><strong>Caveat: Phone Number Verification Could Trip You Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some servers require all prospective members to have verified their phone number with Discord to join at all. This is a measure introduced to make it a lot harder to bypass the IP and account bans. After all, it costs money to get a new phone number that\u2019s not already associated with any active Discord accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have the option of getting a new phone number to verify on your new account, you\u2019re basically blocked forever unless you can reach the server moderators by some other means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #cfe2f3; padding: 10px; border-radius: 25px;\">\n<p>PIA VPN has apps for just about every device where Discord can be installed: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. It can even work with Discord on consoles, via a VPN-enabled router.<\/p>\n   \n    <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/buy-vpn-online\"><button class=\"bg-btn-1\"> Get PIA VPN<\/button><\/a>\n  \n  \n <\/div> <br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\"><strong>How Discord Server Bans Work and Why People Get Banned<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding how to unban yourself from a Discord server requires that you learn how bans work. When you\u2019re banned, two things get blocked from the server: your account, and your IP address. In order to bypass the ban, you\u2019ll need to change both of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a lot of people also wonder why they get banned from Discord, or any given Discord server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, Discord themselves will \u201cplatform ban\u201d people for: hate speech, harassment and\/or threats, distributing any kind of illegal material, abusing the Discord API, doxxing, and breaking other common-sense rules. Users can receive Warnings, Temporary Bans of up to four years, or Permanent Bans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individual servers can have their own rules, of course. Bans can also happen because of automated systems, misclicks, and other accidents. The admins may or may not tell you what you\u2019ve done wrong. Be sure to read the rules of every server when you join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>Lastly: Consider Taking the L<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t address this. Sometimes, it\u2019s best to know when to leave well enough alone. Even if your ban was objectively unfair, sometimes the people who run Discord servers won\u2019t see things from your point of view. Even if they let you back in, you might feel like you\u2019re under Damocles\u2019 sword every time you send a message, and that\u2019s just not worth the stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beauty of the internet is that you have a place out there, a community that\u2019s just waiting for you. It might be hard to find, but it\u2019s worth finding. Or you can make your own server \u2013 if you have the time for that sort of thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>Why PIA VPN is the Best VPN for Discord and Gaming<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26782\" style=\"width:180px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed.png 471w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed-283x300.png 283w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 85vw, 471px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re looking for a powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/gaming-vpn\">gaming VPN<\/a> or just want to bypass an erroneous IP ban, PIA is your best choice for several reasons: firstly, the servers are crazy fast. Need to voice chat, stream your game on Discord, and play a fast-paced online game all at once? PIA can handle that, and more, in milliseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/vpn-server\">VPN server<\/a> locations in 91 countries, you can get a fast and smooth connection to any game server to reduce lag spikes and \u2013 in some circumstances \u2013 even lower your ping\/latency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, PIA masks your IP address and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/vpn-features\/vpn-encryption\">encrypts all traffic<\/a> between you and the VPN server. This means that you can bypass blocks on Discord or any game at work or school, avoid ISP game traffic throttling, and add a layer of protection to your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try it risk-free with our 30-day money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/buy-vpn-online\"><button class=\"bg-btn-1\"> Get PIA VPN<\/button><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\"><strong>FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516112434\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you get unbanned on Discord?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. It\u2019s certainly possible, depending on what kind of ban it is. If you\u2019ve only been banned by one server, a polite conversation with the mods\/admins might be enough to clear up any confusion or misunderstandings. For official bans, you can actually request a review of your ban to make sure it wasn\u2019t a mistake made by automated moderation tools.<br><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516121865\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are Discord server bans permanent?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Server bans are indefinite. They can literally last forever, unless lifted by the moderators or creator of the server. As yet, there isn\u2019t a way to ban someone temporarily, though there is a separate \u201ckick\u201d function. This works very similarly to a ban, but the individual can rejoin with an invite code. In other words, \u201ckicking\u201d is essentially a temporary ban.<br><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516129894\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can someone rejoin Discord after being banned?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Technically, yes. After an official ban, you can theoretically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/hide-my-ip-address\">change your IP address<\/a> and rejoin with a new account. But, if you think you were banned in error, this may not be the best idea. If you get caught rejoining the service, you\u2019ll probably just get banned again, and Discord is less likely to ever rescind the original ban. It\u2019s better to go through channels.<br><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516139597\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is every Discord ban an IP ban?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. But there is more to it than that: every server ban is both an IP ban and an account ban. Rejoining to plead your case would require both a new account, and a new IP address. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/\">VPN<\/a> can easily take care of the second requirement, but keep in mind that the server may require all accounts to have a verified phone number, which could make it harder.<br><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516147958\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does Discord scan DMs?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">According to Discord, usually not. Direct messages are usually only examined by Discord\u2019s moderation team if there\u2019s been a report of harassment, hate speech, or some other Terms of Service violation. Moreover, DMs are not encrypted in their database. If there\u2019s a breach of any kind, your DMs could be read.<br><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516156220\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can I appeal a Discord server ban?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Well, if the admins and moderators haven\u2019t blocked you, you can message them directly to make your appeal. Since accidental bans do happen, it\u2019s not impossible for the ban to be lifted that way. If you don\u2019t have them on your friends list, see if you have any friends who are still on the server. You could ask them to intercede on your behalf.<br><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516167991\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can Discord servers see your IP?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes and no. The underlying technology knows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/what-is-my-ip\">what your IP address is<\/a>, and Discord can certainly find it in one of its databases. But the creators and moderators of any given server can\u2019t see your IP address, ever. One of the benefits of Discord over a P2P VOIP app is that it doesn\u2019t expose your IP.<br><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742516175932\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why was I banned from Discord servers?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">That depends. Every server has a different set of rules, enforced at the creator\u2019s or moderators\u2019 discretion. It could be you didn\u2019t read the rules closely enough, and accidentally broke one of them. Or, it could have been an automated ban, as some channels use bots, which are far from infallible.

They can literally last forever, unless lifted by the moderators or creator of the server. As yet, there isn\u2019t a way to ban someone temporarily, though there is a separate \u201ckick\u201d function. This works very similarly to a ban, but the individual can rejoin with an invite code.
