# Names and thread titles

Nicknames, display names and thread titles, checked for blocklisted phrases, offensive terms, and fake staff titles.

Moderation doesn't stop at chat. A name carrying a blocklisted phrase, an offensive term or a fake staff title can get flagged or blocked.

## Staff impersonation in names

A regular member called Discord Staff or Server Mod triggers action. Names like that are a classic opener for verify-your-account scams.

## Thread titles

New thread titles go through the same phrase and offensive-term checks as messages, and your mods get an action to rename them when needed.

## Premium name checks

Premium and Max add AI name checks on a cooldown, so someone swapping nicknames every few seconds can't burn through unlimited checks.
