Discord has expanded its Hateful Conduct Policy to explicitly include prohibitions against misgendering and deadnaming in a policy update. Accompanying this policy update, Discord has also implemented a comprehensive warning system to enforce these guidelines effectively.

    Oh good, so they plan to actually start enforcing their policies? Because I’ve never seen it happen, and I’ve reported users who explicity called for violence against LGBT+ people and black people.

      Yeah, I understand your scepticism. At least, they have a system in place for enforcement now. If they have the moderators to actually use it is a different question…

        I was a moderator of a gaming server with 2k people. I quit modding and left the server over this.

        I’ve not once seen Discord enforce their policies. In fact, I can still look back in my DM history and see active users who have made clear and explicit threats with a side of slurs to black and LGBT+ people. No action whatsoever on their part, even though I did my diligence by reporting them.
