Discord Verified Badge Displayable on Your Profile (Image made by: goosey#0003)

I think it would be nice to add a verification badge. It would display the same as our badges. This would be something new to open up new opportunities and increase security.
Also you could customize the color of the badge shown on your profile.

 

Why?

We don't always know who we're dealing with. That would make us feel even safer among the Discord community. It would also help servers to ensure maximum moderation level (if we will use ID verification).


For who?

There are many possibilities. If we are talking about users, at the moment the most sensible seems to be to give it to profiles with verified phone number (the highest level of moderation). Other possibilities can also be added, such as the verification of the ID (similar to one during BOT verification).


If not...?

It is also worth to distinguish people with verified servers, who are artists, etc. At the moment only the servers have the above mentioned badge, why not also give it to the owner?

    I also made an alternative version of the verified badge being next to your username (new system)

    I believe that adding a verification badge is a good idea. It would provide an additional layer of security and help us feel safer within the Discord community. By incorporating a verification badge similar to our existing badges, we can introduce new opportunities and enhance trust between new users and to prevent from bots trying to scam us or do bad.

    For me, the verification badge would be to help identify genuine human users and ensure a higher level of moderation. One possibility could be granting the badge to profiles with a verified phone number, as this indicates a higher level of authenticity. Considering ID verification for users, similar to the process used for BOT verification, could be explored as an option.

    Extending the verification badge to include verified servers and individuals with notable roles, such as artists, would also be a valuable idea within the Discord platform. Currently, only servers that are verified and known as an official enterprise or company or public figure have such a badge, so extending it to other relevant individuals that has probably more than 500 members or 1000 members would provide recognition for their contributions and credibility.

    I currently support the idea of adding such a new feature, though I would also like to add that the verification badge made in the picture has a low percentage of being added as it does not fit to Discord's common themes. Also, I understand that the idea of making such badge would keep more trust between new users, it's not the first time that peoples complain about bots pretending to be public figures.

    The second verified badge that was just made would mostly fit to Discord's common theme, though I am confident that Discord will do their own verification badge.

    We could do something about the people pretending to be bots, maybe make bots verification badge more visible and understandable, many people fell for scam bots and pretenders.
