There’s been a massive spike in Discord spam lately, especially if you’re chatting in large groups.
People find you in the group and send you direct messages. It could be a scam, self-promotion, or maybe just someone saying hello, but one thing is for sure, it’s annoying as hell.
If you want to make sure you don’t fall victim to Discord scams, you can follow the steps below to stop random people from sending you private messages.
How to Stop Random Messages in Discord
Stopping random DMs is easy. Discord actually has a built in setting that allows you to ban DMs from other people on the Discord server. This means that your friends will still be able to send you private messages.
Follow the steps below to disable private messaging in Discord.
Step 1 – Open Discord and go to settings
Open the Discord app and click on the COG settings in the bottom left corner.
Step 2. Go to “Privacy Settings” and disable access to private messages.
In Settings, click “Privacy and Security” on the left. Scroll down to Default Server Privacy Settings.
Set “Allow Direct Messages from Server Members” to “OFF”. This will be enabled automatically so you need to disable it.
Once this is disabled, random people will no longer be able to message you on Discord. Enjoy a more peaceful discord environment ?
Summarizing
I hope this article has helped you clear your controversy. I know getting 10 messages a day on discord really annoyed me. This little setting has been a lifesaver for me, and I hope for you as well. Enjoy.
