Title: Can I IP Ban on Discord? How Does It Work?
Hey guys, quick question—can i ip ban on discord? Like, if someone’s causing major issues, can I block their IP or is that not a thing?
I’ve heard mixed stuff. Some say only Discord staff can do it, others claim servers can too. Confused af.
Also, if it *is* possible, how does it even work? Does it stop them from making new accounts? Or just block that one IP?
Any mods or admins here who’ve dealt with this? Would rly appreciate some clarity.
Thanks in advance!
(Also, sorry if this has been asked a million times—tried searching but the answers were all over the place.)
Nah, you can't IP ban on Discord as a server mod or admin. Only Discord's Trust & Safety team can do that, and they usually reserve it for extreme cases like harassment or illegal activity.
What you *can* do is ban their account from your server, and if they keep making alts, enable stricter verification (like phone number reqs).
Also, tools like AutoMod or bots like Dyno can help auto-ban suspicious accounts.
lol no, you can't ip ban on discord yourself. That's a myth. Server bans just block the account, not the IP.
If someone's evading bans, report them to Discord with evidence. They *might* IP ban if it's serious, but it's rare.
Pro tip: Enable 2FA for moderators and set verification levels higher—makes it harder for trolls to come back.
Short answer: No, regular users/mods can't IP ban on Discord.
Long answer: Discord *can* IP ban, but only their staff does it for severe violations (like ban evasion or threats). For your server, focus on account bans + verification.
Bots like MEE6 or Carl-bot can help auto-ban known troublemakers if they return.
Wait, people actually think server admins can IP ban on discord? That’s wild.
Nope, only Discord itself can do that. Your best bet is to ban their account, enable phone verification, and report them if they keep causing trouble.
Also, if they’re *really* persistent, screenshot everything and send it to Discord’s support. They might take action.
can i ip ban on discord? Not directly, no. Server bans ≠ IP bans.
But here’s what works:
- Ban their account
- Set verification to HIGH
- Use a bot to auto-kick new accounts with low age
Discord *might* IP ban repeat offenders, but it’s not guaranteed.
IP banning on Discord isn’t something server owners can do—it’s all on Discord’s end.
If someone’s being a nightmare, ban their account and crank up server verification. Tools like Wick or AutoMod can help filter out troublemakers too.
Also, reporting them with solid evidence *might* get Discord to step in.
Nope, you can’t IP ban on discord as a mod. That’s a Discord-admin-only thing.
But you *can* make it harder for trolls:
- Ban their account
- Require phone verification
- Use bots to auto-ban suspicious joins
If they keep coming back, report them with screenshots. Discord *might* IP ban if it’s bad enough.
can i ip ban on discord? Sadly, no—unless you work for Discord.
Server bans just block accounts, not IPs. To stop ban evaders:
- Enable phone verification
- Use moderation bots (like Dyno) to auto-ban alts
- Report them to Discord if they’re harassing
Discord *might* IP ban in extreme cases, but don’t count on it.
Wow, thanks for all the replies! Super helpful to know that IP banning on Discord isn’t something I can do directly.
I’ll try tightening up server verification and maybe add a bot like Dyno to auto-ban suspicious accounts.
Quick follow-up: If I report someone for ban evasion, how long does Discord usually take to respond? Just curious if it’s worth the wait or if I should just keep banning manually.
Thanks again!
