Pros/Cons of Using Discord Bot Verification
Using Discord bots for verification is actually the best way to keep your server safe. Discord verification bots can keep unwanted users out of your server just by giving them a simple verification system to complete. Not only that, but bots can also keep out botted accounts which try to raid and ruin your experience within Discord as most of them will not be able to complete these simple verification prompts. Even though verification bots are the best way to keep your server safe, some new users might not know how to verify through a bot which is why some servers don’t use bots for verification.
Pros/Cons of Using Discord’s Verification
Discord’s verification is good for server that want to stay more on the “cleaner” side and not overload a user with verification when they first join the server. Even though this will keep your server clean, you risk the safety of your server which we call, the most important part of a Discord server. Adding on, Discord doesn’t really have much of a “verification” system other than the “rule screening” which can be argued whether or not it’s consider verification.
What We Suggest For You
Overall, we suggest that you look into a good verification bot that fits your server. You don’t want to risk the safety of your server just for the looks as it also risks the safety of your members.
