Nothing violating TOS for discord or blizzard is occurring based on the limited info.
“Chatting” could be friendly or it could be flirty.
If its only friendly then your friend needs to check his insecurities and jealousy and realize that 50% of the world’s population are male and his gf has the right to be friends with any of them.
If the chatting is flirty and the gf has not told him to F— off, he should have a calm adult conversation with his gf about the inappropriateness of being receptive to this and ask her directly how she would feel if a female acted the same with him. Reminding the other guy that she has a bf and that bf is him may also help.
If the chatting is flirty and the gf has told him off but the guy persists, you could talk to the GM and explain he needs to talk to this guy. His actions are harassments and violates law + ToS for both discord and Blizzard.
Sounds like your friend is either really jealous or his girlfriend can’t be trusted.
Reported for what? Playing a game and being friendly with people?
if she can’t be trusted in an online game then imagine what she would be like irl, like when she goes to “work”. Your friend might wanna rethink his relationship.

Definitely flirty. He was using /hug /lick emotes…. 
Here is what your friend should do:
1 - Make sure to have his own savings account in real life and to put money in each paycheck.
2 - Get an education if he does not have one already.
3 - Climb the ladder at work or move to a job that has room for him to grow.
4 - Dont worry about what his GF is doing. Focus on himself and things he enjoys.
5 - If she is chatting up other guys on the regular in game and IRL, like texting, then he has to decide if he is cool with that or not. If he is not, then if he has followed the first things I laid out, he is in a good position to move on.
6 - Also, keep one thing in mind if he is cool with her chatting up other guys, unless he has a lot of things going for him, the only one getting laid on the side in an open relationship is the girl.
That’s cringe

“Bite their heads off for nourishment!” Wait… that’s Preying Mantises… (and no, preying is spelt that way for a reason…)
Even if there were something going on, how does it have anything to do w/ Blizzard?

Yes, Blizzard is a relationship diktat and will mediate any problems.
Sounds like the friend’s jealousy/overprotective behavior is the issue. But hey man, I just read the forums. I’m not Dr. Philip or anything.
If she thinks it’s a big fat nothing burger where he finds beef, maybe he needs a new girl anyways.
Don’t you mean our non-gendered term for partnership interest, comrade?

Context matters on the usage of those. I and many others have used them jokingly and ways that could never be considered flirty but they can obviously also be used as flirts.
Most people know when flirting isn’t appropriate or at least can pickup on when flirts are not being reciprocated and just stop, but unfortunately some just don’t have that kind of awareness and the gf needs to be the person who says something to this guy, ideally 1 on 1 “i get the sense you’re flirting with me but I’m not interested, it makes me uncomfortable and I have a bf”.
1 on 1 avoids embarrassing the other guy in front others which would just upset him and instead of getting the point across he would become defensive and the behavior would likely continue our swing the other way to hostility.
sounds like prostitution but with extra steps.

In a perfect world, yes. What you said is true, but in the real world, where we are all humans. That relationship is over.

How did you convince her that this was the right thing to do? lol
I think that’s horrible advice. Beyond horrible. It also goes against everything I’ve known and experienced in my long lifetime. Every single time I’ve seen someone do that its eventually poisoned both the moment and the group dynamics because you embarrass the other individual by publicly shaming them. Maybe that other person changes their objectionable behavior or maybe it doesn’t but it always results in some level of hostility as well which can either be passive-aggressive or much worse. Not to mention you often create a situation where those witnessing the event feel compelled to take sides in some way. They may say something right then or they may only say it in private. Above all they may not take the side you want. 1 on 1 avoids that and no it doesn’t put the gf at risk in any way. It’s not like she’s physically in a room with a violent criminal.
If the 1 on 1 doesn’t work you can look into escalating the situation.
A relationship is over if your girlfriend or wife speaks to another male or has a male friend? This is a huge red flag, women are allowed to speak to other males without a relationship being over with.
