It may seem like it did, but ultimately I know what did and did not cross my mind. It is shitty of Discord to do that, though.

Thanks for looking into it. To be honest, it didn't cross my mind that Ripcord would be the reason why, considering I've used it for years successfully. I only use it because the bloated Discord electron client makes my laptop want to kill itself, but I guess I just won't use Discord on my laptop anymore.

I was using the official client when it happened, but Ripcord was open on my laptop (which I wasn't using) at the time, so it makes sense that it might've sent requests the normal client doesn't when a DM is closed or something. Or maybe you flagged it earlier than that.

Either way, I'm glad to be unbanned now, but this customer service was unacceptably bad. I didn't get a real answer on why I was banned (until HN got the attention of a non-CS rep), and when I was told I would be unbanned, I wasn't and was ghosted afterward.

(Also I'll update the page I wrote)

"We're sorry but web doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue."

This appears to be a static content site after I enabled JS. Why can't the site display static content without JS?
