A Nitro Purchase request will be sent to the parent's phone, with the type of subscription (Nitro Normal or Classic), duration of the subscription, (Monthly/Yearly), and the price of the subscription.
Nitro and Nitro Gifting will be restricted so that the child can't buy it without a parent's permission. Kind of like how YouTube Kids is set up, if you sign up with an underage birthday, you're restricted to say, 5-10 servers, and all friend requests, server joins, are sent to the parent's phone, so even when they are away from the child's PC/Tablet/Phone, the parents know who and where the child is communicating. Also, kids cannot chat in voice channels except with their friends and bots.Īll accounts that are disabled for being under 13 should be reactivated and marked as Under 13 accounts and a parent would need to make an account and give approval or say the child is already over 13, which would make their accounts normal accounts. NSFW channels will be invisible to people under 13 years old and kids cannot send friend requests without their parent's permission. I suggest the rules be amended so that those under 13 have to have all their content filtered, have register with a parent account (Must be 18 years old) to make sure that parents approve of Discord for their younger child. Unfortunately, they cannot do it due to the 13 year old rule. Some children have friends they want to chat with easily during the pandemic. We may consider off-platform behavior when assessing an account or server for violation of Discovery guidelines.This may seem long, but please hear me out.įirst of all, COPPA states that if an under 13 has parental permission, they can get data collected, which means they are technically allowed to use Discord. Build a moderator team that members of your community can trust and turn to for help. Moderators can help ensure nothing rule-breaking is happening in your server and its public spaces and can find meaningful ways for your members to engage.

To help ensure that communities and people are safer, we've created guidelines to help servers understand what is and isn't allowed if you choose to make your community open to everyone. We want to help connect people to the things and places that they love and we want to make sure we do this in a safe manner.
