This happened to me - they absolutely will not unblock your # unless you know somebody who works there beyond the support queues. I was told by a friend who did a stint at Discord that standard flow is churn new accounts, and that's acceptable because their users are already used to name churn.

Wait, are you implying they’re doing it to cook the books for inflating the total # of accounts on the platform? Somebody call Elon.
This is not at all what I meant, my implication is that they don't care about the poor user experience. I'm sure they don't count the banned accounts.
