Discord AI Bug Can Terminate Accounts
Summary
Moderator Academy alerts members to a critical Discord AI flaw that flags grid images (spreadsheets, transparent backgrounds, Minecraft inventories) as CSAM and can terminate accounts. The announcement urges server owners and moderators to warn their communities and spread awareness to prevent irreversible bans.
PSA: Critical bug with Discord's AI could get your account terminated
Currently, there has been a critical flaw going around with Discord's AI causing people to be banned.
If you send an image with a grid, such as: a spreadsheet, the transparent background of an image, Minecraft inventory, or any other grid like images, Discord's AI will flag it as CSAM ||(Child Sexual Abuse Material)|| and will proceed to terminate your account.
Knowing Discord's moderation team, there's a great chance that you may never recover your account after being terminated.
If you are a server owner or manager for other servers - or a moderator (I assume most of you are) please bring it up in your own servers.
