How to Remove Leaked Content from Discord (Complete Guide)
Discord has become a major hub for unauthorized content sharing, particularly through hard-to-access private servers. To protect your content, here's a clear and effective step-by-step method.
Step 1: Identify Where Your Content Is Being Shared
Specific Challenges on Discord
- Servers are private and require invites
- Server names and invite links change frequently
- Some communities require "contributions" to access leaked material
- Leakers use code words, misspellings, or aliases to avoid detection
How to Find Leak Servers
- Search on Google:
site:discord.gg + your name - Monitor Reddit (
r/DiscordServers), Telegram, Twitter/X, underground forums - Check listing sites like Disboard or Top.gg
- Look through comments on your social platforms — invite links are often shared there
Infiltrating Servers (Optional)
- Create an anonymous Discord account
- Join the servers you've identified
- Browse channels (often organized by creator names)
- Take screenshots of the leaked content
Step 2: Collect the Necessary Evidence
Here's what you should gather:
- Screenshot of your leaked content on Discord
- Server name, icon, and member count
- Server ID (right-click server icon → Copy ID)
- Message link (right-click message → Copy link)
- Message ID
- Usernames and IDs of people posting your content
- Proof of content ownership (original publication, etc.)
Tip: Enable Developer Mode in Discord to view IDs.
Go to Settings → App Settings → Advanced → Enable Developer Mode
Step 3: Report the Violation to Discord
Option 1 — In-App Reporting
- Right-click on the message → Report
- Select: "It's illegal content or activity"
- Useful for individual violations
Option 2 — Submit a DMCA Takedown via Form
Go to:
Discord DMCA Form
What to include:
- Description of the content being infringed
- Evidence (screenshots, links, IDs)
- Your contact details and signature
- Links to the relevant servers, channels, and messages
Option 3 — Request Full Server Removal
If the entire server is dedicated to illegal sharing:
- Show that the server is organized for content theft (e.g. channels per creator)
- Provide documentation and submit it at:
https://dis.gd/request
Step 4: Write an Effective DMCA Notice
Here's a ready-to-use template:
Subject: DMCA Takedown Notice – [Your Name]
I am the copyright owner of [your content name], originally published at [URL] on [date].
This content has been illegally shared on Discord:
Server Name: [server name]
Server ID: [ID]
Channel: [channel name]
Message(s): [message links]
I am attaching evidence proving my ownership and the unauthorized use.
I have a good faith belief that this use is not authorized, and I swear under penalty of perjury that the information in this notice is accurate.
Please remove this content immediately.
[Your Name]
[Your Contact Information]
Step 5: Follow Up and Escalate if Necessary
Best Practices
- Keep a log of all reports (dates, links, screenshots, response status)
- Regularly check if the content is still available
- Discord does not always reply after enforcement
- Check if the server is still active or if messages have been removed
Escalating if There's No Action
- Wait 7 to 10 days
- Send a follow-up with any additional evidence
- If needed, switch from in-app reporting to a formal DMCA notice
- In serious cases, consider involving a legal representative
Step 6: Handle Discord's Specific Challenges
Backup Servers
- Leak networks often run multiple backup servers
- Watch for migration announcements inside communities
- Monitor Telegram, Reddit, forums for reposted invites
- Report all linked servers at once
Role-Based Access
- Servers often use roles to restrict content visibility
- Document roles required to access leaked content (e.g. "verified", "contributor")
- Take screenshots of role descriptions or access conditions
- If content is behind a paywall: report it for commercial terms violations
Bots Distributing Leaked Content
Some servers use bots to share leaked content.
Take note of:
- The commands used
- The bot's responses showing your content
- The bot's ID
Report both the bot and the server to Discord.
Case Study: Takedown of a 7-Server Leak Network
A digital creator found their paid content being shared across 7 interconnected Discord servers (over 50,000 members total).
They:
- Created anonymous accounts to join the servers
- Documented every channel, server name, and infringing post
- Mapped connections between servers (shared admins, duplicate announcements)
- Filed a coordinated DMCA notice for all 7 servers
- Continued monitoring after removal
Result: Discord removed all servers within 2 weeks.
Thanks to a solid strategy, new leak copies never took off.
Estimated loss prevented: €30,000+ in revenue.
