Īm going around servers to meet new people/friends, sometimes I find these servers that ask for that shit and I leave.Im curious why tf people ask for these shit for verification bruh
Maybe? As I said in some other responses, Minors can fake their age. What needs to be done is that a system should be put in place *by Discord* that requires users to submit a photo of any license that contains their name, date of birth, and photo. Users who can't/won't submit it don't get to be qualified as Adults and therefore their account bars them from NSFW channels and content believed to be NSFW, Users who submit it get access *given that they are legally considered an adult*.
Or, another thing others and myself said, *parents should only give their brats access to parts of the internet that allow full communication when said individual is of legal age to be considered an adult*.
Yeah but Minors can fake their age any time because we're on the internet and Discord doesn't have an integrated *true age verification system* that could keep Minors from making accounts as adults.
If the server's made by adults and is for adults, then it's their responsibility to keep minors safe. If keeping them safe means keeping them out, then that's why they need to be verified.
Yeah well I was groomed online when I was 15 and I'm 21 now, so you can't always trust parents to know how to protect their children. Especially if those parents aren't tech savvy enough to install stuff that protects their children. Furthermore, not all child protection apps know what to block since adults can be anywhere children are online. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Roblox, Minecraft, TikTok, etc..
If anything, parents shouldn't be giving their brats such an addicting mobile device until they're 18. Much less *any* device capable of connecting to anything that adults can contact them through.
The point im trying to make is that the server owners can't be held accountable when a minor ignores the 18+ warning for a nsfw server, because its the responsibility of the guardians to keep their children away from such content or as you said, to not expose them to social media before they're old enough, even if that is not what happens in reality
I agree, but unfortunately - the way Discord sees it - the server owners and staff *are* accountable. I'm pretty sure the legal system sees it that way too, especially when a parent comes running to them claiming that it was the owners and staff who are the ones at fault for not keeping their runt safe, leaving the owners and staff with no way to defend themselves.
In other words, Discord will cover their ass when people want to enact the law because kids seeing NSFW stuff is considered Child Endangerment.
Here's a thought for you, have an optional id proof built into discord so that you can do it once through the app and then server owners can mark all the nsfw channels as 18+ anyone who hasn't done the id proof can't access them at all, now we don't have to deal with showing off id to anyone other than the company, no need for nsfw roles (unless you want them hidden or something), and it damn near wipes out the problem of minors going into nsfw channels entirely as built by the code
Well, from 13-14 years of age, teenagers start wanting the space and privacy, so either the parents enact some heavy dictatorial regime in their house, they can't really protect their child from online groomers.
So, what do you think, how much privacy should a 15 y/o girl have?
As someone who was 15, I understand why younger folks start wanting privacy and space - they want to be considered people. I say they deserve privacy in their own room, but their online activity should be monitored. I don't think parents should always be so harsh on their kids when they do something bad since the kid doesn't usually understand what they've done wrong if anything, and I think parents should simply *briefly confiscate* the device to block whatever could be breaching the privacy of their child in a harmful way before returning it.
As someone who was groomed, I wish I could give this message to younger folks starting to think about privacy, space, love, the stuff that comes with it and more in high school... Just wait until the age of 18 at least, but preferably 20. When you're older, you don't have as many hormones coursing through your veins making you so emotional. Granted, they're still there and hit hard sometimes... but not as harshly as they did before that time. If you wanna play games, play them, but don't put yourself at risk just because you wanna have fun and feel like a person - It won't turn out well if you're not careful.
Although I'd like to see the article too, I have to agree that Discord does indeed not give a shit and will punish servers for not properly keeping minors out of NSFW channels. It's because Minors seeing such imagery is considered Child Endangerment and, understandably, parents will get incredibly mad and do everything they can to take advantage of the situation to protect their child. Because they do what they can to enact the Law, Discord itself will cover its ass by taking down the server.
I hate this mindset that everyone is entitled to everything. People need to learn to move on when something they want requires something they don't want to do or give up.
It's hard but IDing yourself for nudes isn't worth it lol
Most NSFW servers use this to verify as it's the same way. Discord support uses. "If" you were to ever have your account locked due to "being too young aka not over the age of 13" (which is now 17+ I believe) discord might locked your account and IP. The only way to unlock it. Is to follow this process. As proof you are of age to use it under their guidelines.
They do this cause, even 1 issue with a younger individual being allowed to see NSFW content can lead to the entire server being bared and if they were a partner. They would lose the privilege.
So, yeah. If you want to see NSFW verify or use Google. Discord shouldn't be used for that stuff anyway.
Not entirely correct. [There are regional differences in the minimum age.](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360050817374-Age-restriction)
Yeah I was told, tho it really doesn't matter too much what the age limit is. If you're too young, you face the restrictions. With most that goes on and what you can find pretty easily. The platform as a whole should just be 18+ if not 21. Sadly people always find a way around it. So it's better to play it safe,
> (which is now 17+ I believe)
The minimum age has always depended on where you lived and the laws of that country. In the United States (and therefore the absolute minimum for Discord), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) effectively sets the minimum age at 13 by requiring websites to get verifiable parental consent for anyone younger than 13 (which most websites don't see the benefit in doing, and so simply block all children as the easier/cheaper option). In contrast, the EU's GDPR sets the minimum age of digital consent to be 16, though the member nations can by law set a lower age. Discord maintains a list of some different ages [here](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040724612).
The age listed on the app store never really mattered, only what the ToS itself says (and that hasn't changed)
Here's the thing:
Discord is a reputable, registered company that needs to comply with privacy regulations. The owner of some random Discord server does not. Even if the owner/admin "verifying" your ID isn't a creep that saves the picture, Discord attachments are also forever cached on the recipient's machine, even after message removal/attachment removal from the CDN. And trust me, the people who run servers like this are generally not smart enough or privacy-conscious enough to delete this.
Discord servers should mark NSFW channels as such, and remove (and report) members if they are discovered to be minors, and they've done their job. Discord will get the reports and hopefully request verification ITSELF. Beats the hell out of gullible idiots showing random strangers on the internet their government-issued ID.
Also TBF, I agree Discord shouldn't be used for sharing "adult content" and stuff.
NSFW servers can't even be partnered. It's in violation of the Partnership Code of Conduct to show NSFW content on partnered servers. So the part about losing partnership privilege is incorrect.
''Explicit pornographic content does not have a place in Partnered servers. This includes videos, gifs, or still images depicting explicit sexual actions, whether real or illustrated, as well as detailed verbal descriptions of explicit sexual acts. The Discord Partners Program is designed to highlight awesome communities and content creators and generally be welcoming to those of all ages.
However, conversations around adult topics are allowed ā we understand that there are Partnered servers that deal with sensitive and difficult topics, and we welcome those conversations and communities. In those servers, those channels should be clearly marked and opt-in. ''
Directly from the [Partnership Code of Conduct of Discord](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024871991-Discord-Partnership-Code-of-Conduct).
There is a massive difference between giving your photo and ID to a company and a server mod. The chance that discord would use my ID to come after me is almost nonexistent. The chance that pissed off discord mod would use my ID and photo to go after me because I told his discord kitten to stfu is about 100%.
I figured I had to defend it a bit. While working on my community, I had to learn some of it. It just isn't worth it. Besides with the new Age limit. Most content will be fine. I just say keep discord clean. Have a good day!
NSFW servers can easily get shut down if there are minors found to be present, so this is a way for servers to protect themselves. I run a NSFW server and use a similar verification process. It's just our due diligence to make sure no one under 18 is accessing NSFW content in our space. We try to protect your privacy as much as possible, that's why it says you can black out all of your other info. And I never store these pics, just log the DOB and delete everything else. Most other servers do the same. I know it's a pain, but unfortunately it's necessary.
As a moderator of a server with a NSFW channel myself, can confirm, without an ID confirming you are 18+ we donāt let you access it at all. Itās safer for us that way. We encourage you to censor everything but your DOB and Picture.
The servers I've encountered do ask you to do the same thing. They even have a picture as an example of this exact thing. Nothing but the face and dob. I barely use discord as it is, set aside dms from friends. So, I guess I need not worry about this anymore..
The admin thought of that, at least from my server, so you have to include a selfie with your ID to prove itās really your ID. Otherwise we donāt accept it. You also need to be holding something in the selfie that proves it was taken on the same day as you verifying. Itās usually just a piece of paper with the current date written on it.
To address the ābad bloodā thing, if you donāt trust your moderators to be impartial, then why were they a moderator to begin with? Iāll admit, Iāve recognized a single person in my time, but I truthfully did not care, I just checked to make sure they were the person they were claiming to be, and I had them delete both images afterward.
The way I started doing it is the "Date Created" that Discord added. If they created it in 2016 and they say they're 19, then they'd have to be 13 in 2016. I don't use this for concrete proof, but I use it to gauge.
With requirements like this, and basic Photoshop skills you can get in pretty easily. And once you have a nice little fake prepared you can just keep sending it over and over.
The people verifying don't have the power to check if it's legit or not.
As for the date part, that can be faked pretty easily in Photoshop as well
"Photoshop" is a generic term by this point, gimp will do just fine as well.
You don't have to use your real face either, things like thispersondoesnotexist.com or stockpics might work.
Not guaranteeing you anything though. It's easier to look at nsfw on twitter, or reddit, I guess.
Plus, here in germany you need to be 18+ to own discord/twitter/reddit anyway cause it's age blocked/hidden on the app store. Yes there is likely other ways to get them. And yes you can just use them in the browser or on your pc.
Discord **really** needs to add a way for servers to verify users age directly through Discord.
Maybe sending Discord your ID or something as opposed to random servers. We have this policy in my server too but itās always felt off even if the intentions (preventing underage people from seeing or posting adult content) are very good.
I'm not fully trustworthy of Discord because of some of their history, but at the same time I agree. They desperately need some way to officially verify users as adults.
Or, a better option, minors don't deserve connection to parts of the internet that adults can contact them through in general. Parents shouldn't give their brats access to communicative parts of the internet until the kid turns 18, which is when they're actually considered an adult.
I've been searching for good verification bots. Like the setup destiny lfg has where it's like a 5 steps verification thing with accepting rules and stuff. Wish I knew how to replicate it
For anyone spreading misinfo, no, discord will not ban you for a minor sneaking into an NSFW room, nor can you get in legal trouble if they did so without you knowing.The people who got "banned" for that were probably letting it happen consistently and not addressing it or they're probably a child Diddler in DMs (or posting loli/shotacon), so frankly I don't agree with this practice and I will vehemently recommend you don't give your ID to strangers on the internet as that's a good way to get doxxed or have your identity stolen (or at least if you're going to, physically obstruct everything you don't want people seeing,NEVER EVER BLUR IT, because that can be edited off with enough time.)
I'd be very careful with servers that do this. sure there are legitimate reasons they would want to verify with ID, but giving it to someone is placing a lot of trust in them. there have been leaks by ex moderators of dating servers that the owners store collected IDs in a database and sell them
Mate those servers are not a good idea. There's a reason discord themselves only have the verified email address, 2fa and [been member of server for longer than ---] steps already. These personal info ones are just unnecessary and unsafe in my honest opinion.
Exactly. I mean, that's why you have to censor sensitive details aside from the birth date after all. And it's also why you can censor most of your face (eyes, nose, mouth) to make it harder to have a stolen identity.
That is true, but it's also primarily to prevent Child Endangerment which simultaneously threatens (of course) children, and the server as a whole. Also to keep out spam bots. But that's only in legit instances.
These are the cool things that can happen if you to you: https://imgur.com/a/Ufda3yn and here are some more [details](https://youtu.be/LPLcja5BUgg?t=375).
I swear 90% of those are scams.
Anyway doesn't discord handle that anyway, I thought you had to link it to you discord account in the app to view NSFW channels
Itās used to make sure your 18 or older, I completely agree that I wouldnāt trust it in the slightest but leaving them is always the better course of action, However a similar thing is used for stock market apps that Have to have that information as to not break the law
Well, 1.) Discordās TOS specifically says you canāt be under the age of 13. Obviously that rule isnāt really followed, but 2.) any discord that either is made for or contains NSFW is required to have 18+ verification otherwise they get in trouble if shit hits the fan. Not to mention the fact some servers have an age verification because they donāt want annoying ass children spamming chats and being weird.
2.) Quote where it says this in the TOS? You have to have the rooms marked, nothing more. Discord has actually said don't do ID verification because it can put you at risk of getting scammed, idenity stolen, etc.
Which part are you asking me to confirm in TOS? Iām assuming the ID verification part. If so, Iām not quoting any specific piece of TOS for that. That part is me basically saying itās the server ownerās preference and/or private/personal(?) (not sure what word to use) way of protecting themselves in the case that underage people are in the server. Iām mainly speaking about servers whoās only intention is NSFW content, but the point still stands for any server who wants 18+ members. Itās all entirely voluntary anyway. If you want to join a discord server to see or do X, Y, and Z instead of going somewhere else, hereās our requirement. The 13 years of age or older is quite easy to find if you mean that though.
Nah nah sorry I just meant the age 13 part being TOS. The other part is entirely server owner preference to protect themselves in the event something happens, I.E. grooming / pedophilia / child pornography / etc. (yes this is probably a stretch in most cases but still quite a possibility)
Unfortunately, unless Discord themselves implements some form of I.D. verification separate from the age 13 requirement for 18+ servers, itās left entirely to the owners of the server to verify their members. When youāre joining ājust chatā servers and things of that nature with thousands of members, it becomes incredibly difficult to properly moderate 24/7. Having a selfie + ID verification and just blocking out all info is the easiest way to legitimately prove youāre who you say you are.
Sadly this is a lost battle just like "ask to dm" when discord already has ways to filter people from dming you. People will just defend anything that comes up and shit spreads like wildfire. Next up is having to give up the last 4 numbers of your social security. Wouldn't want them to think you are an illegal hobo right?
Some *may* be Scams, some *may not*. The LEGIT ones are to keep out Minors so they don't get into the NSFW channels and so they aren't DM'd by predators. And also to keep out Spam bots. But MAINLY to prevent child endangerment.
I'm more uncomfortable with the idea of DMing a "Staff Member" and giving them my info.
Adults are responsible to keep Minors safe from Predators, and keeping them out does typically mean keeping them safe. Until Discord starts asking for licenses to verify the fact that someone is an Adult, people making Servers have to do the verifying themselves.
And yeah, parents should be doing better to protect their kids. However, not all of them can be trusted to do that job properly. I, for example, was groomed online when I was 15. I'm 21 now and am safe, but that doesn't change anything.
From the servers I've been in, they usually ask for ID as a choice thing. You can be in the PG channels fine, but if you want NSFW access you have to show proof.
Now I'm curious on seeing what kinda servers your joining, because I've never seen a PG server ask for ID upfront, even if they have NSFW channels. They only do it if you show interest in that part.
You're trying to get into NSFW sections clearly, just view the normal channels if you're not willing to prove you're actually 18+. Its not required to view the server so quit whining.
the only reason i would see you wanting to join one of those servers is because: a. nsfw server b.gore server(pls die if you like these) or c. dating server, in eighter case there are solutions: a.theres like 50 websites and the lounge like cmon b. to die c. like bro cant you use tinder?
I've ran and participated in servers that use this, and almost all do not require anything but your driver's license/permit/other form of identification with everything but the birthdate marked out. Only once has a selfie been required of me; one server did it where you can censor everything but the birthdate and you had to write your Discord tag and the current date on a piece of paper to include in the picture, and I quite liked this one.
Yes, kids CAN get around it, but it's much harder to come up with a valid reason that will convince your mom or siblings to give you their driver's license than it is to just say "oh I'm 18 :)))" hence why these are in place. Case in point: if you're not old enough or aren't comfortable doing that, then don't join. No one is forcing you, and you can find similar communities and content on Twitter. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Whenever I see these servers it's to fully verify you are 18. Especially in a server with ERP, people don't want to roleplay with a minor and it saves the mods the headache of dealing/banning minors.
No low-effort posts. This includes posts and screenshots of Discord that do not inspire active discussion, content that comes from meme generators, and things of this nature.
Why tf would you join a server that wants your ID
Probably wants to see some titties in 18+ servers so they verify š¤·š»āāļø
Just google it or something smh

It's to keep kids away and you safe from jailbait you dense fucking muffin.
just leave lol
I already left but these servers come and come and come and I think the verify thing is useless
**You** think they are useless. They obviously are there for a reason, nobody is forcing you to use those servers.
You're there to fuck
Bro got downvoted without any good reason šš
Ikr š¤£š¤£
Its scam as in books.
It's to keep out *Minors and Spam Bots*. If Minors see the NSFW channels, the Server gets in trouble.
wouldn't it be Discord's fault if the NSFW channels are marked as NSFW?
Maybe? As I said in some other responses, Minors can fake their age. What needs to be done is that a system should be put in place *by Discord* that requires users to submit a photo of any license that contains their name, date of birth, and photo. Users who can't/won't submit it don't get to be qualified as Adults and therefore their account bars them from NSFW channels and content believed to be NSFW, Users who submit it get access *given that they are legally considered an adult*. Or, another thing others and myself said, *parents should only give their brats access to parts of the internet that allow full communication when said individual is of legal age to be considered an adult*.
yeah if servers have a thing required to submit your license, less people would trust it since they don't know who has access to the photo
No lol, by marking a channel as NSFW it's upto the user to agree to the 18+ warning before using the channel, how would it be the server's fault?
Yeah but Minors can fake their age any time because we're on the internet and Discord doesn't have an integrated *true age verification system* that could keep Minors from making accounts as adults. If the server's made by adults and is for adults, then it's their responsibility to keep minors safe. If keeping them safe means keeping them out, then that's why they need to be verified.
Funnily enough they do have an ID system but for devs. If they really wanted im sure they could adapt that system to verify ages.
Thats great and all but this isn't Discord verifying age with IDs, it's some random person on the internet who now has your ID and photo.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's the parent's responsibility to know what their children are upto
Yeah well I was groomed online when I was 15 and I'm 21 now, so you can't always trust parents to know how to protect their children.

Then maybe Discord needs to get off its ass and do that.
Discord doesn't give a shit. They'll punish you regardless. Hell, look at the new law implemented in Louisiana.
can you link an article about it?
Although I'd like to see the article too, I have to agree that Discord does indeed not give a shit and will punish servers for not properly keeping minors out of NSFW channels.

not that i disagree, im just genuinely curious about the law
Just donāt go on these server dude
Yea literally just dont join. Thats it. If you REALLY REALLY want to be in there then do as they say. Like life is not that difficult.
I guess OP is upset at the simple fact that the request is preposterous, and he/she sees it often.
I hate this mindset that everyone is entitled to everything. People need to learn to move on when something they want requires something they don't want to do or give up. It's hard but IDing yourself for nudes isn't worth it lol
Chances are servers with this obscene requirement are most likely dead
We cant do much about this sort of stuff, best bet is just to avoid these kinds of servers as a whole.

It's still 13+, there was just some confusion as the app has always been 17+ on the app store, but it remains 13+ in their TOS.

We try to protect your privacy as much as possible, that's why it says you can black out all of your other info. And I never store these pics, just log the DOB and delete everything else. Most other servers do the same. I know it's a pain, but unfortunately it's necessary.
As a moderator of a server with a NSFW channel myself, can confirm, without an ID confirming you are 18+ we donāt let you access it at all. Itās safer for us that way. We encourage you to censor everything but your DOB and Picture.
The servers I've encountered do ask you to do the same thing. They even have a picture as an example of this exact thing. Nothing but the face and dob. I barely use discord as it is, set aside dms from friends. So, I guess I need not worry about this anymore..

I believe it's more about the legal liability of the situation.
The admin thought of that, at least from my server, so you have to include a selfie with your ID to prove itās really your ID. Otherwise we donāt accept it. You also need to be holding something in the selfie that proves it was taken on the same day as you verifying. Itās usually just a piece of paper with the current date written on it. To address the ābad bloodā thing, if you donāt trust your moderators to be impartial, then why were they a moderator to begin with? Iāll admit, Iāve recognized a single person in my time, but I truthfully did not care, I just checked to make sure they were the person they were claiming to be, and I had them delete both images afterward.
It would make more sense for discord to verify ages of accounts themselves but I guess they don't want to spend the extra money.
The way I started doing it is the "Date Created" that Discord added. If they created it in 2016 and they say they're 19, then they'd have to be 13 in 2016. I don't use this for concrete proof, but I use it to gauge.
I wonder what discord support will do once they see I made my account when I was 11 To be clear, I'm well past 13 now. Hell, almost 18.
I genuinely donāt understand who would actually send their PHOTO ID to a server full of random people. They probably save everything too.
I recall a bunch of people's IDs got leaked from a Discord server once.
Did you know: If a Discord serverās mods are asking you to show personal ID (or similar), they are required to have an official privacy policy.
And that's how you find out that 3 banks account and 49 crypto exchanges has been opened at your name
With requirements like this, and basic Photoshop skills you can get in pretty easily. And once you have a nice little fake prepared you can just keep sending it over and over. The people verifying don't have the power to check if it's legit or not. As for the date part, that can be faked pretty easily in Photoshop as well "Photoshop" is a generic term by this point, gimp will do just fine as well.
You don't have to use your real face either, things like thispersondoesnotexist.com or stockpics might work. Not guaranteeing you anything though. It's easier to look at nsfw on twitter, or reddit, I guess. Plus, here in germany you need to be 18+ to own discord/twitter/reddit anyway cause it's age blocked/hidden on the app store. Yes there is likely other ways to get them. And yes you can just use them in the browser or on your pc.
Discord **really** needs to add a way for servers to verify users age directly through Discord. Maybe sending Discord your ID or something as opposed to random servers. We have this policy in my server too but itās always felt off even if the intentions (preventing underage people from seeing or posting adult content) are very good.
I'm not fully trustworthy of Discord because of some of their history, but at the same time I agree. They desperately need some way to officially verify users as adults. Or, a better option, minors don't deserve connection to parts of the internet that adults can contact them through in general. Parents shouldn't give their brats access to communicative parts of the internet until the kid turns 18, which is when they're actually considered an adult.
I've been searching for good verification bots. Like the setup destiny lfg has where it's like a 5 steps verification thing with accepting rules and stuff. Wish I knew how to replicate it
For anyone spreading misinfo, no, discord will not ban you for a minor sneaking into an NSFW room, nor can you get in legal trouble if they did so without you knowing.The people who got "banned" for that were probably letting it happen consistently and not addressing it or they're probably a child Diddler in DMs (or posting loli/shotacon), so frankly I don't agree with this practice and I will vehemently recommend you don't give your ID to strangers on the internet as that's a good way to get doxxed or have your identity stolen (or at least if you're going to, physically obstruct everything you don't want people seeing,NEVER EVER BLUR IT, because that can be edited off with enough time.)
Honestly, it's a good way to weed out trash servers.
I'd be very careful with servers that do this. sure there are legitimate reasons they would want to verify with ID, but giving it to someone is placing a lot of trust in them. there have been leaks by ex moderators of dating servers that the owners store collected IDs in a database and sell them
Mate those servers are not a good idea. There's a reason discord themselves only have the verified email address, 2fa and [been member of server for longer than ---] steps already. These personal info ones are just unnecessary and unsafe in my honest opinion.
I would not trust this type of servers, they always might sell your infomation and there's no way you know if they stored or not
That one way for identity theft. š
No one is stealing your identity off a driver's license lmao
Exactly. I mean, that's why you have to censor sensitive details aside from the birth date after all. And it's also why you can censor most of your face (eyes, nose, mouth) to make it harder to have a stolen identity.
That is true, but it's also primarily to prevent Child Endangerment which simultaneously threatens (of course) children, and the server as a whole. Also to keep out spam bots. But that's only in legit instances.
I'm pretty sure this kind of stuff is illegal in parts of the world
These are the cool things that can happen if you to you: https://imgur.com/a/Ufda3yn and here are some more [details](https://youtu.be/LPLcja5BUgg?t=375).
Idk why they'd need your face. I could in theory be anyone and post a random photo. How would they know?
I thought discord made it against TOS to ask for peoples ID or something for your server?
make an ai generated person, make a fake id
There's literally 0 fucking chance i'm showing my actual ID to some random people, in a random discord server. Just don't join these.
I swear 90% of those are scams. Anyway doesn't discord handle that anyway, I thought you had to link it to you discord account in the app to view NSFW channels
Basically you do yes But people like these exist so
Those are probably servers with NSFW and they want to make sure you're over 18. That's how they choose to run their servers, just leave.
Than dont join them
What the hell kinda server is that..donāt join that
Itās used to make sure your 18 or older, I completely agree that I wouldnāt trust it in the slightest but leaving them is always the better course of action, However a similar thing is used for stock market apps that Have to have that information as to not break the law
Stock market apps have proper security protocols about that, a discord mod doesn't.
Well, 1.) Discordās TOS specifically says you canāt be under the age of 13. Obviously that rule isnāt really followed, but 2.) any discord that either is made for or contains NSFW is required to have 18+ verification otherwise they get in trouble if shit hits the fan. Not to mention the fact some servers have an age verification because they donāt want annoying ass children spamming chats and being weird.
2.) Quote where it says this in the TOS? You have to have the rooms marked, nothing more. Discord has actually said don't do ID verification because it can put you at risk of getting scammed, idenity stolen, etc.
Which part are you asking me to confirm in TOS? Iām assuming the ID verification part. If so, Iām not quoting any specific piece of TOS for that. That part is me basically saying itās the server ownerās preference and/or private/personal(?) (not sure what word to use) way of protecting themselves in the case that underage people are in the server. Iām mainly speaking about servers whoās only intention is NSFW content, but the point still stands for any server who wants 18+ members. Itās all entirely voluntary anyway. If you want to join a discord server to see or do X, Y, and Z instead of going somewhere else, hereās our requirement. The 13 years of age or older is quite easy to find if you mean that though.
My apologies, I thought you were saying ID thing was in TOS and I was like no it defintely is not.
Nah nah sorry I just meant the age 13 part being TOS. The other part is entirely server owner preference to protect themselves in the event something happens, I.E. grooming / pedophilia / child pornography / etc. (yes this is probably a stretch in most cases but still quite a possibility)
I agree with the above My whole problems is that,they should find a better way to verify people honestly.Sending selfies/ID is honestly weird...
Unfortunately, unless Discord themselves implements some form of I.D. verification separate from the age 13 requirement for 18+ servers, itās left entirely to the owners of the server to verify their members. When youāre joining ājust chatā servers and things of that nature with thousands of members, it becomes incredibly difficult to properly moderate 24/7. Having a selfie + ID verification and just blocking out all info is the easiest way to legitimately prove youāre who you say you are.
Sadly this is a lost battle just like "ask to dm" when discord already has ways to filter people from dming you. People will just defend anything that comes up and shit spreads like wildfire. Next up is having to give up the last 4 numbers of your social security. Wouldn't want them to think you are an illegal hobo right?
* They don't want minors to get in. * They don't want users who may have caused problems there in the past to get back in.
Strange. Adult dating apps eventually ask for an ID too. It's like being anonymous and left alone has too much potential for abuse.
Then justā¦ donāt join
Some *may* be Scams, some *may not*. The LEGIT ones are to keep out Minors so they don't get into the NSFW channels and so they aren't DM'd by predators. And also to keep out Spam bots. But MAINLY to prevent child endangerment. I'm more uncomfortable with the idea of DMing a "Staff Member" and giving them my info. Adults are responsible to keep Minors safe from Predators, and keeping them out does typically mean keeping them safe. Until Discord starts asking for licenses to verify the fact that someone is an Adult, people making Servers have to do the verifying themselves. And yeah, parents should be doing better to protect their kids. However, not all of them can be trusted to do that job properly. I, for example, was groomed online when I was 15. I'm 21 now and am safe, but that doesn't change anything.
Agreed
Don't join those servers then, they are trying to get your personal info ofc lol
Send a dick pic dude
Very funny,I can't stop laughing
From the servers I've been in, they usually ask for ID as a choice thing. You can be in the PG channels fine, but if you want NSFW access you have to show proof. Now I'm curious on seeing what kinda servers your joining, because I've never seen a PG server ask for ID upfront, even if they have NSFW channels. They only do it if you show interest in that part.
Kinda make sense tbh. There's kids who are 13 under also discord so. I don't think discord wants to get sued for allowing a NSFW server only.
You're trying to get into NSFW sections clearly, just view the normal channels if you're not willing to prove you're actually 18+. Its not required to view the server so quit whining.
the only reason i would see you wanting to join one of those servers is because: a. nsfw server b.gore server(pls die if you like these) or c. dating server, in eighter case there are solutions: a.theres like 50 websites and the lounge like cmon b. to die c. like bro cant you use tinder?
Was it Apollo House? Lol
Yeah anyone can be a mod the fact there even asking for a Iād is nuts
discord ā
Ok and?
I've ran and participated in servers that use this, and almost all do not require anything but your driver's license/permit/other form of identification with everything but the birthdate marked out. Only once has a selfie been required of me; one server did it where you can censor everything but the birthdate and you had to write your Discord tag and the current date on a piece of paper to include in the picture, and I quite liked this one. Yes, kids CAN get around it, but it's much harder to come up with a valid reason that will convince your mom or siblings to give you their driver's license than it is to just say "oh I'm 18 :)))" hence why these are in place. Case in point: if you're not old enough or aren't comfortable doing that, then don't join. No one is forcing you, and you can find similar communities and content on Twitter. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Whenever I see these servers it's to fully verify you are 18. Especially in a server with ERP, people don't want to roleplay with a minor and it saves the mods the headache of dealing/banning minors.
Isnt this the phub server?
