Discord: Difference between revisions
1. I've added instructions on deleting you Discord account without having to agree to ToS becuase if you try and delete your account through the Discord website or app, you must first agree to ToS. This way you don't have to agree to forced arbitration just to delete your account. Apologies ahead of time if this is not the place for this. 2. I've edited the bottom line above references from "Reported countlessly by users" to "Reported countless times by users" as countlessly may not a word. |
