Hi all! This is a resource to help prevent users from falling for malicious behavior. Scammers attempt to trick you through trust, like accepting a "prize" through a malicious link or by using scare tactics, where they convince you to act immediately because something "bad" could happen, so be wary and mindful of your interactions with others. There's helpful information on avoiding scams and what to do if you fall for one below.

Always report malicious/scamming behavior, as well as anything else that breaks Discord's Terms of Service (see "Reporting Malicious Content/Behavior" below)

"Accidental" Steam/Discord Report & Impersonation

A common scam is if a user claims you've been accidentally/falsely reported to Steam or Discord for an infraction or fraud. Don't follow instructions provided by anyone claiming to have accidentally reported your account. The most common things that identify this scam are if someone:

• Says your account has been falsely or accidentally reported

• Directs you to speak with someone through online chat to resolve an investigation or pending ban

• Requests your account credentials or directs you to perform specific security-related operations

• Requests an authentication code sent over email, SMS, or anywhere else

• Says they represent Discord, Steam/Valve, or any other official entity

• Says you must complete a purchase of any kind

You can find some additional info for Discord-related scams and Steam-related scams .

Free Nitro Scams

If you believe you have received a possible scam from a bot or user account, consider if they:

• Are new, unfamiliar, or unverified (in the case of bot accounts) contacting you unprompted.

• Are not from Discord in the form of an email or .

• Have poor grammar, spelling, or misuse of punctuation/capitalization.

• Offer things that are "too good to be true."

Official Discord gifting uses the discord.gift & discord.com domains and will generate a special embed, as (in-app) or (link). Scams are not possible through the official browser/client pages/menus.

If these types of bots are repeatedly sending you messages, you can:

• Use Mutual Servers to determine the server(s) they share with you and disable Direct Messages from server members for those servers.

• If you cannot find any shared servers, you can disable DMs from all servers under your User Settings

QR Codes, Fake Games, Programs, & Downloads

A user may pretend to be your friend or use a friend's compromised account to get you to download something. Consider if they want you to:

• Scan a QR code

• Check out a video

• Test a game they made

• Practice running code they wrote

These are common forms of malicious behavior. If a user asks you to scan/download something or click an unknown link, this could give away your login information and/or allow a malicious program to enter your computer, which can also compromise your account.

Compromised Accounts

If your account sends these kinds of messages, your account has been compromised. If you...

• ...downloaded and executed malware: You should try and use a different device entirely to change your password (e.g., your phone). You should then to completely uninstall Discord, run a complete anti-virus scan, and then re-install Discord. If your account is compromised again when logging in afterward, you may need to factory reset your computer.

• ...entered your password into a malicious/fake website: You should change your password.

• ...something else: You should change your password.

Reporting Malicious Content/Behavior

There are several methods to report behavior you believe is a scam/malicious.

• Use the integrated "Report Spam" button, as .

Hey (at)everyone,

First, an administrative note! We’re still figuring out out the right cadence to make a new mega-thread and we’ve decided that a new thread roughly every 2 months makes the most sense, given our release cadence and how quickly we’re actually able to address the bugs you’re all reporting. So from now on, you’ll be seeing one of these threads roughly every 2 months.

Secondly, thank you for all the bugs you all have reported! We read at all the posts in the thread and we’re focusing our efforts on issues based on upvotes to ensure that we’re aligned with all of you.

Let’s discuss the reports thus-far! You’ve reported a bunch of bugs, and our team has fixed 12 so far!

Bugs We Need More Information On

1. : We’re looking for a reproduction on this, our internal testing was unable to fix. We tested on an S20, with various perturbations of the system and Discord’s font size.

3. : same, we’re looking for a reproduction.

Now, with that, let’s kick off the April+May 2024 bug megathread!

Please note: This megathread is not a venue for feedback or customer support! We encourage you all to continue to make posts on the subreddit proper discussing our product and feature launches. I want to make sure that we really keep this thread productive and focused on reporting bugs and helping us prioritize them.

Please look through the list of comments and upvote bug reports which you think we should prioritize fixing. Comment as a reply to those top level comments with any more details that can assist our team in prioritizing and fixing the bug. For example, if you have additional info or steps to reproduce, please post a reply, this will help us fix these bugs even faster. If there is no post that discusses the bug you’re encountering, then start a new post in the thread to report the bug to us!

Reporting a Bug

1. The most valuable thing you can provide in a bug report is steps. If you’re able to provide steps to reproduce a high priority issue, it will dramatically improve turnaround time on a fix.

2. Screenshots or videos are also useful, especially if you can’t reliably reproduce it. We highly recommend editing them to not doxx yourself. Not only does it help contextualize the issue, but watching it occur can sometimes provide information that helps us identify and fix it.
