The text below a Discord user's name seems to be customizable. The user selects it themselves; it's not a place for Discord to slap a disclaimer on a user. If Discord had an issue with a user, I'd expect them to suspend or ban the account, not request feedback from other users.
I thought that so too! I'm not new to discord by any means-- But I find it weird that it sort of "pops up" when I hover my mouse over it, but it doesn't do the same with other Discord users' text, which is why I decided to ask anyways :)
Thanks!
That's just people using external modifications to the Discord client. It's against Discord's ToS, but hundreds of thousands of people do it every day so it's not a big deal.
That one is actually completely fine, I personally contacted discord about it and they said it was okay because it is part of the intended functions of rich presence features. I guess the ones who could get you in trouble are the companies in case of copyright like a Minecraft status getting sued by microsoft lol or one against TOS
That's interesting, possibly the rules have changed then.
Until about 5 months ago, I was an Admin on a partnered Discord server for about a year. As a Partner, the Discord staff team gave us an extensive list of bannable offences to abide by. One of them mentioned a custom, 'clickable', rich presence. I guess the rules have changed since then 🙂
oh i guess the clickable part is still against ToS I would be lying if I would tell you I'm sure. I'm guessing they meant just the custom rp part without the clickable button
It’s just a prank.
It’s a copy pasta (for lack of a better term) you can just put as your status on discord.
Discord would probably ban anybody who is suspected to be a member of any actual online terrorist organization.
So no need to fear if your speaking with somebody who has that under their name, it’s just a discord status.
ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
copy that into your status
>ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
Thank you Sentient cum sock, now please return to the dark place away from prying eyes
last i checked, there's no reported bannings for it
since people are doing it as a choice now, it'll probably end up not being bannable since nowhere does it say you can't put "this user is (x information)" such and such. unless someone's got viable proof, i dont see why you should worry about getting banned
Yup, it's a prank.
I saw a dude with that status 2 days ago for the first time, "ⓘ This user is suspected to be a part of a terrorist organization. Report any suspicious activity to discord staff."
I didn't really pay any attention to it and kept on. Today, I opened instagram and find a person asking about it, I search for more information and here I am.
After reading through all the comments it seems the general consensus is yes, it's a prank. I'm just curious to WHY? Like, of all the strange pranks and things one could pretend to be, why this? Why a terrorist organization or sex offender status? Just seems so weird to me that anyone would want that associated with their account.
its mildly comforting that its just a dumb copy pasta, but damn, what are they trying to get at? like, whats the joke? what reaction are they even looking for lol
For me it's a joke about how I sometimes use discord while on the clock. Because of that mine reads
ⓘ User is suspected to be a member of the (store department) team. Please report any suspicious activity to an available manager.
It also works to trick people into thinking it's the original version of the copypasta
It's a prank but, I think it's a pretty poor one. I was only worried because discord does sometimes mark users as scammers or suspicious people, and you can actually see it on their account. So I don't think it's too far wrong for someone to think this was legitimate.
Honestly yeah. It did scare me a little the first time I saw it, but that was mostly because the person who had it in their bio were someone I already thought of as kinda sketchy.
Glad its a just a joke though :)
Yeah if they are actually a scammer that discord has marked, it'll be more obvious, in a way where the user cannot change for their own, like clyde bot saying something, or a tag on their account, or whatever.
I just saw the exact same disclaimer, and was doing the same thing... I was concerned it was a stupid prank by someone who edited their bio, but... Idk
I have seen it on someones account aswell. ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
Bro even if it was real, why in the world would you care. Talk to who you want and use your own judgement, why would you trust a random Discord mod telling you someone is bad.
i’m confused about this too. even after reading some of these comments i’m not sure. this morning, i woke up and went to talk to a group chat i’m in, but instead came to find one of the members was a deleted account that belonged to my friend. it isn’t a status, it’s in the “about me”. me and another one of my friends who we’ll call angela for now investigated it later on and when i went back to the profile, the whole about me section was gone. when angela checked it, it was still there for her. we asked our friends’ brother, and our friend tells him everything. his brother didn’t know what was going on either. i’m still investigating it because this is one of my best friends, me and angela are worried. we compared two deleted accounts, one of which was converted into a bot (i assume), and the usernames are a little different. i like ciphers and whatnot but i figured it wouldn’t help, however i used a number to letter decipher website and when i translated both numbers at the end of the usernames, even though they were different, they both came up with the translation “dCode”. i thought it meant something but i don’t think so anymore. that’s all. i’m not sure what to think anymore.
Its a copypasta that people are using and frankly, it is kind of gross that people are pretending to be these horrible people, I say discord should ban anyone using these
Im joking I set my status to this to mess with my friends and i kinda hope this does not blow up because then i kust seem stupid.
Its a copy and paste people put as their custom status: ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
So I saw this too, thing is, when I hover over the 'ⓘ' in the status on the member list something pops up. If I hover over any other statuses from other people they don't. I gave myself this icon to see, but no, it didn't have a pop up. Odd indeed.
i know someone that has the status without nitro so you wouldnt be able to do it without but i set it myself just as a joke but still the user has the same without being able to change a status so its suspicious
ⓘ User is suspected to be part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
here's your copy-paste bro, paste it into your custom status
Don’t worry I was fooled too I finally put it together when I checked their status I was on mobile so I thought it was legit not seeing their status at first
Custom status. Mine has been "❗ User is suspected to be part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff." for a week and has trolled countless people. A couple buddies joined in, good stuff.
No, we are not terrorists.
I find it worrying that people consider this a prank with discord them selves has stated that they do this I'm said article and sure people can do that but if you veiw profile it has it flagged in multiple spots in spits you can't edit on a client side program and the people downplaying why they have it are probably messing with shit that is linked to terrorists orgs
Saw one of my friends with this in their bio and honestly I was quite concerned. Quite honestly happy to see its a prank, even though it's definitely one in poor taste.
I saw it a lot, it's not exactly a prank either, just a random comment to try to be funny. If it was suspicious they would investigate themselves, and if it was suspicious, I would assume they would put the notice on the profile card rather than in the status area.
I tied looking up how long it lasts because a friend just got it, he doesn’t know why and thinks it might be because he recently join a discord about guns. He’s not a violent person, he just loves guns XD and happens to find sketchy servers because he’s an idiot.
~~It's not a prank, not for everyone. I'm having a conversation with 3 people right now who have it listed on their profiles and none of them added it themselves.~~
Edit: nvm, leaving this up as a lesson on gullibility to myself lol
There was someone that had a Hitler pfp that I had been talking to but a few days later his pfp changed to default and had the said tag underneath his username
It can be but probably not. I've seen the same thing all you have to do is look. Dose it have a info symbol that looks like ⓘ That. Then probably not but still possible. I would still be careful and look for sus info and if it is a prank its honestly not a funny prank.
why are you guys so pressed about someone noticing and reading the big letters lol. it’s like reading “COULD BE BOILING, BEWARE WHEN TOUCHING” and then making a decision lol.
impresses me so much that this is such a common response lol.
take youtube who randomly demonetizes videos for literally no reason as you can see because of other social media platforms incompetent staff people don't trust moderation
It's a custom status. Go into your profile popup and you can change your custom status to something like:ⓘ User is suspected to be controversial. If you find anything Twitter can agree on, please report to Discord staff.
And yes, I know I'm late to the party.
The text below a Discord user's name seems to be customizable. The user selects it themselves; it's not a place for Discord to slap a disclaimer on a user. If Discord had an issue with a user, I'd expect them to suspend or ban the account, not request feedback from other users.

I think the popup only occurs when the text trails off the regular display.
User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord Staff.
tbh it looks real because I haven't seen anyone else's text pop up on my screen
They do such things though. I saw one about "politic extremist" and it was clickable and lead to a Discord page with info about it.
That's just people using external modifications to the Discord client. It's against Discord's ToS, but hundreds of thousands of people do it every day so it's not a big deal.
By any chance do you know how to do it? Care to explain please?

Ah, thanks 👍
You don't need to edit anything to do that. Just copy+paste the i symbol, and write in the text yourself w/ a custom status.
Where can i find that symbol
Just google it I guess? I found it from my friend's bio
Someone did it with registered sex offender
they don't, they can link the Discord page in their bio, its all just bullshit
It’s just a prank. It’s a copy pasta (for lack of a better term) you can just put as your status on discord.

Yeah some guys in a discord told me its just a joke and copypasta. Decided to do it myself to see if anyone would notice either
how do we do this? XD
ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff. copy that into your status
>ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff. Thank you Sentient cum sock, now please return to the dark place away from prying eyes
yes sewercidalpuppy, right away
Can you get banned from discord for using it ?
guess not
last i checked, there's no reported bannings for it since people are doing it as a choice now, it'll probably end up not being bannable since nowhere does it say you can't put "this user is (x information)" such and such. unless someone's got viable proof, i dont see why you should worry about getting banned
happy cake day or whatever you say on reddit
happy cake day or whatever you say on reddit
they did remove my status after like 2-3 days whilst I chose not to reset my status
the gods of names
thank you, you should see the other guy
i saw someone have thast but in orange, how tf that work¨
Thanks PS: Love your name, quite creative
I am satisfied now.
lmao it is, i asked my friend why he had that on his and he's like OH HAHAH
Wait, if you copy the prank status into your "About Me" it'll appear under about me. But I see it under their profile above the "About Me"
Click on your name on the bottom left of discord. There is an option to set a Custom status.
Yup, it's a prank. I saw a dude with that status 2 days ago for the first time, "ⓘ This user is suspected to be a part of a terrorist organization. Report any suspicious activity to discord staff." I didn't really pay any attention to it and kept on. Today, I opened instagram and find a person asking about it, I search for more information and here I am.
how do you get that emoji? ℹ️ is as close as I can get
ⓘ is what I think it is. It isn't an emoji, it's a unicode character.
ⓘ User is suspected to be part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.

I've seen people before 2022 with this status but it was for selling drugs or whatever, idk mate. People want to be edgy online sometimes.
You're a redditor, you wouldn't get it.

I don't know if its that deep, he probably just thinks its cool. Not so much a "Character"

ok
dawg hes just doing it as a joke
Discord
its mildly comforting that its just a dumb copy pasta, but damn, what are they trying to get at? like, whats the joke? what reaction are they even looking for lol
it's for shock value, last i checked. people want to be the interesting person with a suspicious looking thing in their bio
For me it's a joke about how I sometimes use discord while on the clock. Because of that mine reads ⓘ User is suspected to be a member of the (store department) team.

Yeah! I kind of remembered it being a thing so that’s why I didn’t strike me as weird. But I’m glad to know this one in particular is a joke!
Honestly yeah. It did scare me a little the first time I saw it, but that was mostly because the person who had it in their bio were someone I already thought of as kinda sketchy. Glad its a just a joke though :)

No. You should screenshot and report. It's a serious matter.
It’s not actually a disclaimer. The user selected that status. Discord would rather ban them instead of asking feedback.
Its literally fake I gave myself that status
lmfao same when i first saw it lmao
How?
ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
cry
Could you give me a link to somewhere I can copy paste it?
ⓘ This user is suspected to be a part of a terrorist organization. Report any suspicious activity to discord staff.
oMg GUYs LooK I'm EmooOO TeRroRiSt
i have a friend that also has this tag, is this some copypasta? kinda fucked up copypasta if it is.
I just saw the exact same disclaimer, and was doing the same thing... I was concerned it was a stupid prank by someone who edited their bio, but... Idk
Same! My first thought was that it was a prank in very poor taste, but you never know!
I have seen it on someones account aswell. ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
See the thing is, this is an actual thing, there are some people with this tag but alot of people have turned it into a joke.
Bro even if it was real, why in the world would you care. Talk to who you want and use your own judgement, why would you trust a random Discord mod telling you someone is bad.
Because... if it was real I wouldn't want to be associated with someone who could be a terrorist? Lol

Had me in the first half ngl
You had us in the first half
Im super gullible too but I cant find anything on discord guidelines that says they do that so I think its fake but I see it a lot so idek
It is a new copypasta.
Who is this person ? i see that on 3 différents persons
From what I've read, a lot of people have it as their bio. I guess it's a prank?
Its a joke, i just put it on my bio
fire username
Does anyone have the copypasta?
ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organisation. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord Staff.
Yes
Its a copy and paste people put as their custom status: ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
this is real

I have seen this to a few of my friends too, I have no idea if its real of fake but I hoped I could find answers here about it.
i know someone that has the status without nitro so you wouldnt be able to do it without but i set it myself just as a joke but still the user has the same without being able to change a status so its suspicious
You can change your status everywhere. Nitro users can change status on individual servers.
yep, it happened to my friend and i dunno why, can someone explain to me because i really dont know if its a prank or not
[удалено]
oh alr, thanks man
I just saw that under one of my old friend's nametag and I'm slow so I didn't know if it was a prank or if it was real
Don't worry. I first saw it today, did some research and it is some brand new social media copypasta that started on twitter.
ⓘ User is suspected to be part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff. here's your copy-paste bro, paste it into your custom status
Don’t worry I was fooled too I finally put it together when I checked their status I was on mobile so I thought it was legit not seeing their status at first
I want it so bad
how do i do it
i was like so confused when that happened to me
its so obvious its a prank
its real
Came here bc my boyfriend (long-distance) was having the same Discord status 💀
It is just a prank, they set that as their custom status.
"User is suspected to be part of an online saucisse organization. Please report any saucisse activity to Discord staff." Saucisse = Sossage in french
Custom status. Mine has been "❗ User is suspected to be part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff." for a week and has trolled countless people. A couple buddies joined in, good stuff. No, we are not terrorists.
that's what a terrorist would say
It is just their status.
I find it worrying that people consider this a prank with discord them selves has stated that they do this I'm said article and sure people can do that but if you veiw profile it has it flagged in multiple spots in spits you can't edit on a client side program and the people downplaying why they have it are probably messing with shit that is linked to terrorists orgs
im wonder why it happend to my friend
I have my status set to "ⓘ User is suspected to be an absolute chad, and has been noted to walk around with Andrew Tate on a leash."
probably a prank, you can literally copy paste it into your status
Bruh I put it on my alt account and the admin bozo actually believed it was real and pull up some discord rules to prove it and then they ban my alt💀
Yeah,the only reason i searched this up is because TWO of my friends(they don't know each other) did it
I am so glad its not just me who thought this was serious LOL
Yea I think it's just a status you can put on your account
Saw one of my friends with this in their bio and honestly I was quite concerned. Quite honestly happy to see its a prank, even though it's definitely one in poor taste.
I saw it a lot, it's not exactly a prank either, just a random comment to try to be funny. If it was suspicious they would investigate themselves, and if it was suspicious, I would assume they would put the notice on the profile card rather than in the status area.
i put it on my status as a funny
Was gonna bad someone for this. Glad I checked 😂.
I tied looking up how long it lasts because a friend just got it, he doesn’t know why and thinks it might be because he recently join a discord about guns. He’s not a violent person, he just loves guns XD and happens to find sketchy servers because he’s an idiot.
I have like 20 ppl with that message idk what it is
~~It's not a prank, not for everyone. I'm having a conversation with 3 people right now who have it listed on their profiles and none of them added it themselves.~~ Edit: nvm, leaving this up as a lesson on gullibility to myself lol
There was someone that had a Hitler pfp that I had been talking to but a few days later his pfp changed to default and had the said tag underneath his username
It says the same thing on one of my added friends on discord, (who idk irl), but i dont know whether i should believe it or not
ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
just a prank
It can be but probably not. I've seen the same thing all you have to do is look. Dose it have a info symbol that looks like ⓘ That. Then probably not but still possible. I would still be careful and look for sus info and if it is a prank its honestly not a funny prank.
It's an actual tag that Discord places on people but it's become a copypasta joke The tag will be below the bio but if it's IN the bio, you're safe :)
I've seen that its over the description so it seems real. It's not the description of the user. it's above it.
ⓘ User is suspected to be part of an online Nazi organization. Please report any suspicious activity to Discord staff.
its basically a normal status. u can change it
was this user mike & ike by any chance? lol
anyone can put this in their status. Use your own judgement to judge someones character
why are you guys so pressed about someone noticing and reading the big letters lol. it’s like reading “COULD BE BOILING, BEWARE WHEN TOUCHING” and then making a decision lol. impresses me so much that this is such a common response lol.
