Can I Place a link to my Discord Server inside of my place?

Title explains itself. I’m planning to place the link on a billboard that says something along the lines “want to report a hacker, a bug, or just have an idea for the game? join our community server [link]”

You can’t, this violates TOS. As an alternative you need to add in a report section in your game and send the message to Discord via apis

Thanks for the answer, but can I just write that the discord server is in the game description as a social link?

I don’t think so, it might direct under 13 users off platform and it is better safe than sorry. Just use social links and apis for this

Got it. Thank you for the help.

The code should be used to set the link, not set the hidden text. That way the link is not on screen at all.

The solution you marked is not correct. You can use PolicyService to inquire if a player is allowed to see discord links. From there, either show, or dont show the link to the player. Do it in a local script so that the players who are allowed to see it can, and those who aren’t allowed cant.

Here is a demonstration:

Code, placed inside StarterPlayerScripts

local guiWithLink = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part").BillboardGui--location of the gui

local PolicyService = game:GetService("PolicyService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local success, result = pcall(function()--wrap in a pcall incase of an error
	return PolicyService:GetPolicyInfoForPlayerAsync(player)--gets the policy info for a player
end)

if not success then--if there is an error then run this code
	warn("PolicyService error: " .. result)
	--you should hide the link if there is an error, just in case.
	guiWithLink.TextBox.Text = "Hidden"
	
elseif result.AllowedExternalLinkReferences then--make sure the table was gotten
	local links = result.AllowedExternalLinkReferences
	if not table.find(links,"Discord") then--check if Discord is not allowed (not in the list)
		guiWithLink.TextBox.Text = "Hidden" --hide the link
	end
end
