How to ban and unban someone on Discord?

ByUchchash

Most users have fun on Discord, but it takes more work for the mods/owner to manage a server. Some users often break the rules or misbehave, and it becomes impossible to stop them without banning them. 

As a moderator/owner of a server, you must know how to ban and unban people on Discord. Discord ban has some features and limitations. 

For example, you can ban a user and remove his previous messages(up to 7 days).

It’s an excellent feature to remove his toxic messages from your server, but you can’t remove all of his messages. 

You can also explain why you banned a user, so you know if you want to unblock that user again.

Here’s how to do it. 

Ban Someone on Discord

  1. Open the Discord app on your computer.
  2. Go to the text channel where the person is messaging. Go to the text channel
  3. Right-click on his avatar.
  4. Click on Ban Username. Ban someone on Discord Desktop App
  5. Select the reason for banning.
  6. Select the time frame if you want to delete the message history of that user. Press the Ban button
  7. Press the Ban button.

  • Go to the channel where the person is active.
  • Tap on his avatar/profile icon. Tap on the avatar
  • Scroll down and click on Ban. Tap on Ban

Unban Someone on Discord

  2. Right-click on your server icon.
  3. Navigate to Server settings > Bans. Go-to-Bans
  4. Click on the username that you want to unban.
  5. Press the Revoke ban button. Revoke-Ban-Discord

There’s no limit on how many times you can ban/unban a user. If you think the unbanned user needs to be banned again, you can do it instantly.

Unfortunately, while banning a user, you can’t select the time frame of the ban. For example, you can’t choose to ban a user for seven days. After that, the user will be unbanned automatically. The only solution to this is to revoke the ban manually.
