Listing Guidelines
Last updated: January 2026
Overview
These guidelines exist to make sure Findcord remains a trustworthy place to discover Discord communities. Every listing is reviewed by the Findcord staff team before going live. Listings that don't meet these guidelines will be rejected or removed.
We don't do pay-to-win. Featured spots and the Top Server Spotlight are chosen by staff based on quality — not money. This keeps the platform fair for everyone.
What makes a good listing
✅
Accurate description
Tell people what your server is actually about. Be specific — what topics do you cover, what's the vibe, what can new members expect?
✅
Relevant tags
Use tags that genuinely describe your server. Good tags help the right people find you.
✅
Active community
Servers that are welcoming to new members and have regular activity perform better and get better reviews.
✅
Real member counts
Your stats are pulled automatically by the Findcord bot — no manual entry, no inflation possible.
What will get your listing rejected
❌
Misleading descriptions
Don't claim your server is something it isn't. If your listing misleads people into joining, it will be removed.
❌
NSFW without the NSFW flag
If your server contains adult content, you must mark it as NSFW when listing. Failing to do so results in immediate removal.
❌
Hate speech or discrimination
Servers promoting racism, homophobia, transphobia or any form of targeted harassment will never be listed.
❌
Scams or phishing
Any server designed to deceive, defraud or phish members will be immediately removed and reported.
❌
Servers that violate Discord's ToS
If your server wouldn't survive a review from Discord themselves, it won't survive a review from us.
❌
Duplicate listings
Each server may only be listed once on Findcord. Duplicate submissions will be removed.
Things to keep in mind
ℹ️
Staff review everything
Every new listing is reviewed manually before going live. This usually takes less than 24 hours. Be patient — we check properly.
ℹ️
Bump fairly
The bump system has a 6-hour cooldown per server. Don't try to circumvent this — it's there to keep rankings fair for everyone.
ℹ️
One review per server per person
You may only leave one review per server. Creating multiple Discord accounts to post additional reviews is not allowed and will result in removal.
ℹ️
Reviews are moderated
We remove fake reviews, reviews from inactive accounts and reviews that look like they were organised. Keep it genuine.
ℹ️
Featured is staff-curated
Featured listings and the Top Server Spotlight are chosen by Findcord staff based on quality, activity and community health. You cannot pay for placement.
Discord Terms of Service compliance
All servers listed on Findcord must comply with Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines at all times. The key rules from Discord that apply to listed servers include:
🔞
No CSAM or minor sexualisation
Any server containing sexual content involving minors will be immediately removed, reported to Discord and reported to the relevant authorities. Zero tolerance.
🚫
No promotion of violence or terrorism
Servers that glorify, promote or organise real-world violence, terrorism or mass harm are not permitted.
💀
No self-harm or suicide promotion
Servers that encourage, glorify or provide instructions for self-harm or suicide will be removed immediately.
🎰
No illegal gambling or real-money scams
Servers facilitating unlicensed gambling, crypto scams, pyramid schemes or other financial fraud are prohibited.
💊
No drug dealing or illegal trade
Servers used to facilitate the sale or trade of illegal substances, weapons or other contraband will be removed and reported.
🐛
No malware or hacking tools
Servers distributing malware, exploits, phishing tools or facilitating unauthorised access to systems are not permitted.
🤖
No auto-bumping
Using bots, scripts or automation to bump your server is not allowed. Bumps must be done manually. Servers found to be auto-bumping will be removed.
🎁
No rewarding users to bump or review
You may not offer rewards (roles, currency, perks) in exchange for bumps or positive reviews. Reviews must be voluntary and genuine.
↪️
No redirect-only servers
Servers that exist solely to redirect users to another server, with no real content of their own, will not be listed.
⚖️
No illegal activity
You may not list servers that violate any laws or regulations in your country of residence, or that promote or facilitate violations of the law.
