1. Use Self for authorized communities
Self is designed to help authorized server owners, administrators, moderators, staff, and members operate Discord communities. Use Self only on accounts and servers where you have permission to perform the action involved.
2. Follow Discord and applicable law
You may not use Self to violate Discord’s terms, policies, Community Guidelines, API restrictions, or applicable law. Self features are not permission to do something Discord or the law prohibits.
3. No harmful or abusive use
- Do not use moderation, automation, webhook, invite, role, channel, messaging, music, support, or other tools to harass, stalk, threaten, dox, extort, or target people unlawfully.
- Do not coordinate raids, spam, mass mentions, destructive server actions, fraudulent activity, credential theft, malware distribution, phishing, or unauthorized surveillance.
- Do not use protection, backup, recovery, cleanup, or moderation capabilities as tools to attack communities you do not control.
- Do not knowingly distribute illegal content or use Self to facilitate unlawful transactions or conduct.
4. No unauthorized access or security bypass
- Do not bypass authentication, Discord permission checks, access levels, rate limits, feature gates, or Developer-only controls.
- Do not access another user’s support conversations, tickets, server configuration, administrative data, or other non-public information without authorization.
- Do not probe, exploit, scrape, extract, circumvent safeguards, or automate requests in a way that degrades Self or exceeds your authorization. Good-faith security research performed within the Responsible Disclosure / Security Policy is not prohibited by this paragraph.
- Security research must follow the Responsible Disclosure / Security Policy.
5. Automation and platform integrity
Do not use Self to create abusive request volume, circumvent Discord rate limits, evade moderation or enforcement, or operate unauthorized automation. Respect cooldowns, server permissions, feature limits, and any safety controls built into Self.
6. Support and AI systems
Do not spam tickets, feedback, or Self AI; impersonate staff; submit knowingly malicious payloads; or use support systems to harass users or staff. Do not intentionally submit credentials or secrets into support or AI conversations.
7. Enforcement
Self may rate-limit, restrict, suspend, or terminate access; disable features; preserve relevant logs; or remove the bot from a server when reasonably necessary to stop abuse, protect users, comply with law, or enforce these policies. Serious or repeated violations may result in permanent restrictions.
