Add the ability for server owners to remove the bot tag from certain bots.

Hi there! One thing I’ve noticed a *LOT* on some high-profile servers recently is a lot of confusion regarding DID (also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder). Essentially, it is where a person can have multiple personalities living inside one body, sometimes even having their own names, ages, and thoughts. (Known as “alters”) Due to this, some users have to resort to bots such as PluralKit in order to easily showcase which Alter is currently in control (or “fronting”), and not having to constantly switch back and forward between multiple accounts. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, because they have to use a bot to do this stuff, the “BOT” tag comes up next to their names, which often confuses a lot of members as they can be lead to believe that it’s a joke or a trend, when it is a real mental illness that some people face. By giving the option for server owners to remove the bot tag from certain bots, it could eliminate this confusion at the source as there’d be no reason for another member to assume they’re a bot.

  Howdy Paceccamusic,

  I hope you're doing well. I wanted to address the suggestion you made regarding the ability for server owners to remove the "bot" tag from certain bots. While I understand your intention to provide a more inclusive experience for users with multiple personality disorder (MPD), I wanted to highlight a few important points.

  Firstly, it's crucial to note that being logged into a bot account as a human user violates Discord's Terms of Service. Bot accounts are meant to be operated by automated systems, not by individuals. Discord's guidelines clearly state that each user should have only one account, representing themselves as an individual.

  Allowing server owners to remove the "bot" tag from certain accounts would create a potential misuse of the system. It could lead to confusion among users, as they may not be able to differentiate between legitimate bot accounts and human users pretending to be bots. This could potentially be exploited for malicious purposes, which Discord aims to prevent.

  Discord is committed to maintaining a safe and reliable platform for all users. They have implemented specific guidelines and policies to ensure a positive experience. While it's important to consider the needs of all users, it's equally essential to adhere to the platform's Terms of Service to maintain a healthy and secure environment.

  If you believe there are specific features or accommodations that would benefit users with MPD or enhance inclusivity on Discord, I encourage you to reach out to Discord's support team directly. They can provide guidance and insights on potential solutions that align with their platform policies.

  Thank you for understanding and being considerate of the wider implications of introducing such a feature. Let's continue working together to create a welcoming and supportive community on Discord.

  Best regards, Haunt
