Key notes

  • Discord rules help create order within your channels by allowing everyone to behave accordingly. 
  • The rules can involve anything from how people write their names to general and personal information rules.  

Using a Discord rules template is a great way to set up your server quickly with an easy-to-follow ruleset. Once you set up the rules, you need to download the client or Discord web browser, and you’re good to go.

If you want to set up a server quickly, here are the best Discord server rules templates.

You can also create a dedicated Discord rules channel and copy-paste the templates listed below in it.
