Are Alts Against Discord Tos? Unveiling The Rules And Risks

“Do Discord accounts have the ability to ban alternative accounts, commonly referred to as ‘alts’? Yes, Discord has implemented a system where server alts cannot individually be timed out, kicked, or banned. However, if a user is timed out, kicked, or banned from a server, it will also result in a timeout, kick, or ban for all their associated server alts within that specific server. To access and manage server alts, simply right-click on the icon of the server you are interested in, and select ‘Show Server Alts.’ It’s worth noting that this feature is enabled by default if you have server alts enabled on your account. This information is accurate as of September 25, 2022.”

Is it acceptable to create alternative accounts, commonly referred to as “alt accounts,” on Discord? In general, Discord does not impose a strict limit on the number of alt accounts you can have. However, it’s important to note that each alt account must be associated with a distinct email address and phone number. This requirement ensures that each account remains unique and separate from others.

Furthermore, Discord has introduced a helpful feature known as “Manage Accounts” on both its web and desktop applications. This feature simplifies the process of switching between your primary account and any alt accounts you may have created. As of the information available up to my last update in September 2021, this feature was already in place, but it’s always a good practice to check for any updates or changes that may have occurred after that date. Please verify with the most recent information as of your current date, which is September 9, 2023.

Are alt accounts legal? In most cases, yes, but there are important restrictions to consider. While having alternate accounts is generally allowed, using them to circumvent a ban on your primary account is strictly prohibited. For instance, if you create an alternate account and, shortly thereafter, receive a ban on your main account, it is against the rules to continue using your alternate account during the ban period. This ensures fair and respectful usage of alternate accounts within the community. This information is accurate as of May 10th, 2022.
