How to Unban Someone on Discord

This guide will show you how to unban someone on discord, starting with personal bans (blocking someone), then server bans, as well as how to allow a Discord bot to interact with a previously banned member.

We all have that one friend who goes a little off the rails sometimes but otherwise isn’t a bad person. Maybe one night they got a little out of hand and you blocked them but now want to give them another chance.

Fortunately, Discord bans are reversible and the process of restoring them is very easy:

1. step 1

   

   Launch discord and open your “friends list”.

2. step 2

   Select the Blocked tab to see all users you have blocked.

3. step 3

   

   Find the person you wish to unblock and click the icon on the right side.

4. step 4

   This discord account is no longer blocked by you and you can now send and receive private messages and new friend requests.

Who Can Unban Users in a Discord Server?

A ban is usually for a pretty good reason and you don’t want just anyone to be able to unban someone.

Typically banning and unbanning are reserved for the server owner and other server moderators. This is to minimize banned members getting back into the server.

Of course, any Discord members can be given the ability to dish out server bans by a server administrator.

To do this go to Server Settings and under the Roles tab, you can give any role the option to ban or revoke the ban.
