It happend to me when i created my account in 2025. Within seconds of verifying the address I got a email that my account was band for TOS violation. I than created a seconds account (within minutes from the same IP) only writing "dc" instead of "discord" and that worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apparently they (unlike other entities I've dealt with) did not go back and review all of the existing, valid email addresses in their user database.

It's always an unpleasant surprise when some company terminates a years-old, active and valid account because of a stupid policy change on their part.
