Verified Member Badges

Hello Discord team,

I hope you're having an amazing day! I'm reaching out to you with an exciting proposal. But before we dive into the details, I have a little joke to lighten the mood. Did you know that I also designed a unique and exclusive rose for myself as part of this proposal? Haha! Of course, that's just a joke. However, it could be a fun idea if you ever consider it in the future.

Now, focusing on the real proposal, I would like to introduce the idea of implementing a verified badge system on Discord. I believe it would be great to have these badges to distinguish authentic and recognized users on the platform.

The proposal is based on three levels of verified badges, each with its own distinctive design and corresponding benefits. Let me go over the details:

1. Level 1 Verified (Blue):
   - Badge design: A verification symbol in a light blue shade.
   - Verification criteria: Identity verification through the submission of official documents.
   - Proposed benefits:
     - Verified badge on the profile to demonstrate user authenticity.
     - Access to personalized themes for the profile.
     - Custom label "Verified since DD MMM YY" to highlight the verification's longevity.

2. Level 2 Verified (Red):
   - Badge design: A verification symbol in a dark red shade.
   - Verification criteria: Significant reach and recognition on the platform.
   - Proposed benefits:
     - Verified badge on the profile to highlight famous and recognized users.
     - Free access to Discord Nitro Basic, which includes premium features like high-quality audio and global emojis.
     - Option to upgrade to Discord Nitro Boost at a 50% discounted price for additional benefits.
     - Custom label "Verified since DD MMM YY" to highlight the verification's longevity.

3. Level 3 Verified (Gold):
   - Badge design: A verification symbol in a bright golden shade.
   - Verification criteria: Being a business entity or an influential figure in the business world.
   - Proposed benefits:
     - Verified badge on the profile to identify business accounts or notable figures in the business realm.
     - Access to the benefits of Level 1 and Level 2 Verified.
     - Option to have a custom label to highlight the verification's longevity.

Furthermore, I would like to express my desire to participate in idea development and basic visual programming for Discord's frontend. As a programming enthusiast and passionate Discord user, I would love the opportunity to contribute to taking Discord to the next level.

With experience in frontend development, I am confident that I can bring fresh and creative ideas to enhance Discord's interface and user experience. I would be thrilled to offer my collaboration on any frontend-related projects, whether it's creating new designs, implementing interactive features, or any other tasks that can help improve Discord.

I greatly appreciate your consideration and the opportunity to be part of Discord's development team in some capacity. I am excited about the possibility of working together to elevate Discord to new heights.

Thank you for your attention, and I eagerly await your response!

Warm regards,

Jose Fernandez (WVP)
