Complain About Discord - learn how to file a complaint

Getting a real human at Discord to help you feels impossible, right? And it's not just you. Their Better Business Bureau page is a disaster, showing over 1,800 complaints filed in the last three years, with a customer rating of just 1.09 out of 5 stars. On Trustpilot, it gets worse, a staggering 55% of the 22,000+ reviews are just one star. Most complaints are about disabled accounts, billing problems with Nitro, and non-existent support. When their support bot gives you the runaround for the tenth time, Pine AI steps in. We handle the endless follow-ups and pushback for you. You can find their official site here: Visit Discord.

Best ways to complain to Discord

Contact Method Details & Availability Why use this instead...
Support Ticket Submit a request here. Available 24/7, but responses are notoriously slow. This is the only official channel. Use it for a paper trail and for any serious account issues like bans or billing disputes.
X (formerly Twitter) Tag them at @discord. Best for public complaints. Companies sometimes respond faster when their reputation is on the line, but don't expect detailed account support here.
Reddit Visit the r/discordapp subreddit. Use this for community support. You'll often find solutions from other users faster than from Discord itself. Not an official channel.

⏱️ Estimated Response Times from Discord After Complaining

Honestly, 'estimated' is a strong word here. It can feel like sending a message into the void.

Method Expected Wait Time
Support Ticket 24 hours to several weeks. Seriously.
X (Twitter) A few hours to never.
Chat N/A (No live chat support)
App N/A (No direct complaint feature in-app)

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

  • Be incredibly specific in your first ticket. Include your username, email, and any relevant IDs (server ID, message ID).
  • Choose the most accurate category in their support form. The wrong one sends your ticket into a black hole.
  • Keep all communication in one ticket thread. Opening new ones just pushes you to the back of the line.
  • Attach screenshots or screen recordings. Proof is everything.

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If Discord support goes silent, your first step is to reply to the same ticket email every few days. Don't open a new one. If that fails, it's time to go external.

Better Business Bureau (BBB)

Filing a complaint with the BBB often gets a response. It's not a government agency, but companies don't like public complaints sitting on their profile. I've seen people on Reddit say this was the only way they got their account back after a wrongful ban. The process can take a few weeks, but it forces Discord to assign a real person to your case.

Your State's Attorney General

For more serious issues like billing fraud or if you feel Discord is engaging in deceptive practices, you can file a complaint with your state's Attorney General. This is a formal step and should be used when you've exhausted all other options.

Email Template to Complain to Discord

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved Issue with Account [[Your Discord Username/Email]] - Ticket #[[Your Ticket #]]

I am writing again because my issue, first reported on [[Date]], remains completely unresolved.

My account was [[briefly describe the issue, e.g., wrongfully disabled, charged incorrectly for Nitro]]. This has prevented me from accessing communities I manage and has been a significant source of frustration, especially since the automated responses have been no help at all. Frankly, the lack of human support is unacceptable.

To resolve this, I require you to [[state your demand, e.g., immediately reinstate my account, refund the incorrect charge of $XX.XX]]. I expect this to be handled by a human support agent, not another bot.

If I do not receive a meaningful response within 72 hours, I will be escalating this matter by filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[[Your Name]]

P.S. I have attached screenshots of the original error and my previous support requests.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

  • Use clear, simple language. English might not be the support agent's first language, so avoid complex sentences and slang.
  • Reference their own Terms of Service. If they've clearly violated a policy, quoting it shows you've done your homework and can't be easily dismissed.
  • Try the 'Data Privacy' trick as a last resort. A user on the r/discordapp subreddit mentioned they got a faster response by submitting a ticket under the 'Data Privacy Request' category. These are often handled with more urgency due to regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
  • Never be rude or abusive. No matter how frustrated you are, being aggressive is the fastest way to get your ticket closed with no action taken.
