Hi - I'm just going to relay what was posted on Discord (with my small edits) by our Discord Admin, Kaoffie, here because it is essential this gets maximum attention. We have not had any reports of this on our Discord server, and it is very unlikely that this will happen, although it is important we relay this information to you regardless.

Recently there has been rumours of a group of people who have been joining servers and sending child pornography through private messages. Either way, we would like to advise you to block any suspicious messages and links from anyone you don't know. To further prevent this, you may choose to disable direct messages from servers. You can find this by clicking on the server name on the left sidebar and selecting Privacy Settings.



If you would like to report any cases of abuse, please contact both server staff and discord. You may do so by sharing as much information as possible to abuse@discordapp.com. Discord will route any reports to the correct federal agencies - you should not try to route things directly to government agencies yourself without proper legal advice. Do not distribute any of the links which you suspect have child pornography. Distribution of child pornography is highly illegal and may cause authorities to be contacted. This includes sending the actual link to the abuse email of Discord. Instead, please send the Message ID only. The following is a list of information that should be provided:
  • User DiscordTag (With 4-digit discriminant after # symbol)
  • User ID (Right Click User ID → Copy ID)
  • Server Name
  • Server ID
  • Permanent Invite Link to the Server (You can find that in #server-info)
  • Evidence of the user posting the content (Message IDs) - if you can't find any of the IDs, you need to enable Dev Tools in Settings, under Appearance.
Do not open any links. The staff team here at EscapeRestart is not capable of providing legal advice. If you do, however, report immediately and delete it. It is illegal to possess material like that. EscapeRestart is not responsible for anything that may occur as a result of any Discord messages sent to you.

Please remain vigilant, although please do not let this deter you from having fun on our Discord and in our community. I will repeat, this has not hit our community - we just want to ensure everyone is safe when using our servers. I will relay any further information we get to this thread as soon as it becomes available.

Stay safe!
