Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Navigate to the server in Discord.
  2. Click Server from the right-click menu.
  3. Select Roles from the menu.
  4. Then click Create Role.
  5. Give your timeout role a name. At the top, click Permissions.
  6. Turn off permissions by scrolling through the list.
  7. To create the Timeout role, click Save Changes.

With the Timeout role, you can completely prevent users from interacting with your Server. You can use a bot to automatically assign members to this role.

How to IP Ban Someone on Discord

Discord bans are generally based on IP addresses. In other words, when a moderator bans a user, all other users using the same IP address are also banned from accessing the server.

  6. Comment with your reasons for banning this person.
  7. Ban the tap.

Additional FAQs

You can find more information regarding bans on Discord in the next section:

Are Bans on Discord Permanent?

The type of ban on Discord determines whether the ban is permanent. A moderator can ban a member from a particular server. This means that anyone using the same IP address cannot access the server. There is no need for this ban to be permanent. If the moderator decides to unban that person, they will be allowed back into the server.

There are, however, also system-wide bans. Accounts will be banned by the Discord Trust & Safety team. Users are permanently banned from the Discord platform when they receive these bans.

What Happens If You Ban Someone on Discord?

When a moderator bans someone on Discord, they cannot post on the server, see messages, or send or receive voice chats. They are also unable to see other users on the server from which they have been banned. Other people using the same IP address will not be able to access the same server due to these IP-based bans.

The person you’ve banned won’t receive a notification. However, when they attempt to enter the server, they will see an expired link message.

Can I Get Unbanned on Discord?

You can’t unban a member yourself unless a moderator decides to do so. However, a banned member can contact the server moderator, apologize for whatever caused this person to ban them, and hope that this person will revoke the ban. Remember, though, that this can only be done if you haven’t been blocked by the moderator. It won’t be possible for you to send a message to them if that’s the case.

A member who has been banned by Discord can only appeal the ban by contacting Discord. Members who have been banned can write in detail about their problems and hope for the best. You can write to Discord by following these steps:

1. Click here to learn more.

2. Under Submit a Request, select Trust and Safety.

3. Submit a request by selecting Trust and Safety from the dropdown menu.

4. The form must be filled out. From the How can we help? menu, select Appeals, age updates, or other questions. An overview.

5. If you have any supporting documents, please attach them.

6. Click the Submit button.

Can You Ban Someone Again After Unbanning Them on Discord?

If a moderator revokes a ban, it’s still possible to ban the member again if there’s a good reason. To ban this member, the moderator should follow the same steps as the first time.

Unbanning Discord Members

It’s possible to unban a member you’ve previously banned, whether you’re using Discord on your computer or smartphone. The reason you decide to revoke a ban may be that you made a mistake, or they sent a message apologizing.

If that member violates the rules at any point, you can ban them again. The bans are IP-based, so even if they make another account but still use the same IP address, they won’t be able to use the server.
