Who Should You Really Trust?
Each week, a total of 1.5 million users sign up on discord: new server owners, new community moderators, new bot developers: you name it, but who should YOU really trust as a server owner/administrator?
New server owners get used a lot: they don’t know discord, they don’t know anything which is a perfect opportunity for fake friends to be made. You may either handpick your friends as a moderator or hire “people” that you don’t know: this doesn’t matter. There is always a possibility for your moderators to stab you in the back.
5 million user signing up per week is thousands of users being scammed daily. But so, how can you prevent it? Preventing this has countless ways, but let’s talk about bots: before inviting a bot, make sure it is verified (verified bots have a checkmark before the BOT tag).
Some bots may be fake and there only purpose is to destroy your server in everyway, shape or form. Next there is of course the famous “fake friends” story. This is basics but, do not ever give your friend moderator permissions unless they earned it. Most raid cases was either a fake friend or random person was instantly given major perms or a malicious bot was added.
