@Fentjam1n @advaithj1 @tallcowyt Try putting in a ticket, there’s a guide on the subreddit, good luck

@advaithj1 @tallcowyt I was falsely banned for child safety reasons, all my appeals haven't been read by an actual person and it's been a week lol

There’s currently a vulnerability in Discord’s AI moderation that detects any and all square grid images, such as spreadsheets, chessboards, Minecraft inventories, white & gray transparent backgrounds… as CSAM and will permanently ban your account. To keep your account safe, I would recommend NOT sending any sort of images anywhere until this vulnerability is fixed. If you are a server owner or admin, I would highly recommend to disable all image and gif/embed perms in your server for the time being. To @discord @discord_support, this vulnerability needs to be fixed immediately with all false bans overturned. Additionally, AI moderation needs to be scrapped and replaced with humans. This is exactly why companies shouldn’t be using clankers to decide whether accounts should be banned or not. Losing a Discord account to something as unfair as this can be extremely devastating and affect users severely, and every day millions of users are affected by false AI bans. This needs to be stopped. If you would like to spread awareness about this, feel free to like & repost.

@corey_1up The ai was trained on grids to detect CSAM, but it went haywire so any grid looking thing’ll get you a ban for ‘violating child safety’; be careful and if you do get banned, I hope ya get your account back quicker than quite a bit of us

Someone tell me how people are getting banned from Discord for like,, GRID Patterns or whatever. HOW?

@FlakOwl Good luck getting unbanned, it’s suggested in the guide on r/BannedFromDiscord to wait 7 days before making a ticket; I hope you’re unbanned before then

My account is still banned on Discord, since Thursday afternoon. Pretty sure I get swept in the grid fiasco, and I'm glad some people are getting it back, but it makes me nervous. Had it for ten years and posting this gets it perma'd? Haven't received a rejection yet, but still.

@advaithj1 @p_rrgatory @tallcowyt If its been fixed, then could ya unban us who've been falsely banned? As in, with human reviewers?

@p_rrgatory @tallcowyt yes, when we saw this yesterday we found the problematic hash and overrode it so nothing else should get flagged

@plagueplag Same boat, day four currently and gonna make a ticket in three; ggs man

I think I deadass got banned way too early for discord to care about my appeals/review, a day after I got banned, ppl have been getting unbanned in 4-5 hours, it's been nearly 4 days since my ban and I've only gotten an automated reply.. gg for me?

Also if this could be spread around a bit, that would be awesome. Best of luck to those who are trying to get their accounts back

@discord_support @discord | I’d like to be unbanned since your AI banned me for a Minecraft trading message (here’s the images that got flagged as CSAM despite being from Minecraft- with the email, I’ll reply w/ it)- I’ve sent an appeal on browser & been waiting for ~4 days

Here’s the email of the message that got me banned, mainly the chest of golden spears according to the subreddit

@Rainbow_Garfiel @discord_support It is true, they’re apparently fixing it but just be careful for now

Hello @discord_support i hope you are very well. I'm not currently having any problems with my account. At the moment I'm just scared, because servers I'm on have told me that your AI is permanently banning Discord users for sending images that aren't bannable. Is that true? 😰😰

@https_terabyte @GWEOfficialNews To answer your question, mate, the ai was trained to detect CSAM via grids; a programmer seemingly panicked and made the ai go haywire or smth, and now anything with an even slighty grid-looking image/screenshot gets counted as CSAM and an immediate suspension

@GWEOfficialNews why the hell would it be targeting grids

⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️ Discord's moderation has gone HAYWIRE and is considering all grids and alike images to be unsafe material! Do not post images of grids (I suggest not at all unless you have to) anywhere in Discord. This news comes from the GWE Discord

@Hexxeddog @discord If you’ve been waiting ~7 days, try making a ticket on the support site; there’s a guide on the subreddit that seems to still be working, best of luck.

@discord my account @hextula3 got false suspended because your ai flagged the attached image. Please reinstate my account and fix the grid ban issue. I sent an email but yall taking too long Thank you

@RadPeller Mate, a ton of us got banned, it’s real—just check the subreddit, you’re lucky you’re not banned/yet

talking about the so called "discord grid ban" ... literally people believe anything

@dat_dosg It is real, many have been affected

this sounds like the fakest shit ever bruh

@null_png Uhhh, Im not a bot though? Im a human being that likes semi-colons and other grammar stuff

@IDrawCrows AHHH ITS A BOT

every time a post about someone getting banned on discord goes viral, some idiot makes a big long fearmongering post that's sent to every server in existence

@kaitlovescake @discord @discord_support Have you tried sending a ticket? Follow the guide on the subreddit and you might be alright, best of luck with getting your account back.

@discord @discord_support im still waiting for someone to review my false ban. This is day 6. I have a trip near the end of this month and I NEED my account back to contact my friends. This is ridiculous.

@null_png Mate, look at other cases and the subreddit; you'll get banned for sending ANYTHING with a grid, I and many others can confirm it.

no you're not gonna get banned for posting a grid. jesus christ. this is the same stuff as the "if you friend this person you will be haxxed!!1!1!" shit. one person got banned because the ai freaked out

@literallyme_bad Its been like this for a couple weeks, stay safe and careful (anything with a remotely grid looking thing'll cause the ban too)

Are you kidding me, Discord? Just after I already woke up and opened the site app

@necrokuma3 The ai is trained on grids, and it depends on the model that was created/used along with what it was trained on. Not defending AI, but it always depends on model and training data

And there are still people who believe that these things can detect cancer better than a person, how stupid they are.

@discord_support We don't care about delays, A TON OF US are getting banned for GRIDS--pixel games and normal grids--You need to fix this before you lose a lot. I got banned for sending a double chest w/ golden spears on 7/2/26, for 'violating child safety' & still waiting. FIX YOUR MISTAKES NOW.

We're aware of users experiencing delays connecting to the platform. We are investigating and hope to have this resolved soon! We appreciate your patience. discordstatus.com/incidents/mjj0…

@noinconsistency Its not the amount itself, its the grid; any REMOTELY grid looking thing'll get you banned, check around and at the subreddit and you'll see a ton of grid bans with not many unbanned

i guess discord has such a huge CSAM problem that their automod just sees any message with more than one image and shits its pants immediately
