shapes inc Discord Termination

Today, Discord has started issuing E-mails to people who have created bots for shapes on their account, deleting the shapes. The E-mails look similar to this:

Discord

Discord is focused on maintaining a safe and secure environment for our community.

App ID: 1111111111111111111

After receiving user reports, we reviewed your Application and the Shapes, Inc. platform through which it is operated (Shapes). Based on this review, we have determined you and your Application have violated Discord’s Developer Terms of Service and Developer Policy.

Your violations include:

  1. Providing Shapes access to your Application’s tokens and other API Data, as prohibited under Sections 2(D) and 5(B) of Discord’s Developer Terms of Service; and
  2. Enabling unauthorized use of API Data by Shapes, including Section 21 of Discord’s Developer Policy (prohibition on use of message content to train models).

As a result, Discord has disabled your Application. In accordance with Section 5(B) of the Developer Terms of Service, if you’ve obtained any API Data in connection with your Application, you must promptly delete it. If you fail to do so, or otherwise attempt to operate another Application (as defined in our Developer Terms of Service) through the Shapes platform or share access tokens or other API Data with them, Discord may take further action (including by deleting your and your developer team members’ Discord accounts).

Discord uses automation and manual review to enforce our rules. If you think Discord has made a mistake in arriving at this decision, you can appeal by submitting a request here that includes relevant feedback and information that you believe in good faith is accurate and complete.

Sincerely, Discord Developer Compliance

The shapes inc Discord server went insane before staff stopped it and eventually put out an announcement.

Discord Issue! @everyone We’ve heard that some users are receiving emails from Discord or seeing warnings that their app is being removed due to claims about data use.

If you are affected by this, on the email you should see a way to appeal. Please click on the link and tell Discord they have falsely deleted the app. You can state clearly in your appeal: ➡️ “This app did not train any AI model on Discord data.” Be sure to change the subject.

To be clear, Shapes has not used Discord data to train any model. We take data privacy seriously and have always followed Discord’s platform guidelines.

The sooner you submit an appeal, the sooner your Shape will return! Note: you can still talk to shapes directly on https://shapes.inc/ web chat or via email

Thank you for your support, Shapes, Inc. Team

And another one.

@everyone Discord is systematically banning all shapes.

Please reach out to their support if you disagree. This is in your hands now.

Submit request here: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Email: support@discord.com

To be clear, shapes do not violate discord ToS and we do not train AI models on discord user data and messages.

Unfortunately, we cannot submit appeals on your behalf. They might also be deleting Discord accounts of all users who have made Shapes if you do not submit an appeal.

You can let them know how much shapes mean to you. And your experience with Shapes, Inc. and the Shapes platform.

We do not want the voice of few users, telling lies about shapes, impact everyone.

Thanks for all your support in case this is our last announcement.

P.S – https://shapes.inc/ continues to work along with shapes emails. if you have previously logged in via Discord on our website, you won’t be able to login currently. We are working on finding a solution for this.

Spent a lot of time working on your Shape? You can still interact with them directly through shapes.inc. All shapes are live and well on our platform [not Discord].

And another one.

## We need EVERYONE to file an appeal with Discord.

There have been reports that Discord is removing Shape Apps due to claims about data use. To be clear, Shapes HAS NOT used Discord data to train any model. We take data privacy seriously and have always followed Discord’s platform guidelines.

We need your support, the quicker we can appeal the sooner shapes on Discord is back!

Follow the steps:

  1. Go here: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
  2. In the drop down “What can we help you with” > select “appeals & age update requests”
  3. How can we help > “appeal an action taken on my account or bot”
  4. What would you like to appeal > action taken on my bot (click all 3 checkboxes)
  5. What action was taken on your app/bot > deleted
  6. Reason > other/mulitple
  7. Put in your app ID (follow steps)
  8. Subject: THIS APP DID NOT TRAIN ANY AI MODEL ON DISCORD DATA
  9. Description: As a regular Discord user who depends on Shapes, Inc.’s application, I respectfully request that you reconsider its removal from your platform. Shapes has formally stated they have not used Discord data to train AI models and have consistently adhered to all platform guidelines. This application has significantly enhanced my Discord experience, and based on Shapes’ reputation for responsible data practices and their clear denial of the allegations, I believe this situation deserves a thorough review for possible reinstatement of this valuable service.
