Bringing Bot Developer Badge back Or Make a new badge
Hello discord developers and users. As many of you know discord has removed the verified bot developer badge due to the people who sold their accounts and made bots for the badge.
I am making this feedback because there are many developers out there who want to be recognized for their work that they do for the community ,but after the badge was removed it was just a bad feeling for the developers who deserved it. Not all the developer's are the same that steal codes or make bots just to get the badge. People do bots because they like it and they want to also be recognized for the work they did for the discord community, and also that we see other people buying discord accounts with bot developer badge while developers are here are getting disappointed for not being rewarded. If the badge has been removed because people make bots for the badge / those who buy discord accounts with that badge it's still useless because people still buy those accounts with the badge and it's really frustrating for the developers who deserve it to just stay like this.
All we want is that : For discord to bring the badge for a limited amount of time or to make a new one but this time with higher requirements that will show who deserves the badge and who not. This way the badge will be hard to get for those account buyers and those who only want the badge to flex. Thanks a lot to those who support this feedback and i hope you have a great day.
ps for the discord staff : if you are good at removing a badge that didn't have a urgent and big reason to remove. Then remove the early supporter. Many people buy it on internet and it's just a badge right??? and it's just a dumb badge right? as everyone says "badges are useless". Then remove the early supporter, no need to know who used discord ancient days,they can just check their id and know how old their account is.
İf discord is good at saying "no need for badge" then why the f*ck did you even create that badge in the first place.

Hello there,
i believe what makes the badge secret is that it is limited, its an early verified bot developer badge, not a badge that just opens up here and there.
discord made the badge exclusive because of people making bots for the badge which cannot be stopped by anyone's promise.
i as a bot developer have seen the difference between the time of the badge and the time where it was removed. my bot was verified in a month where my second bot after the removal of the badge was verified in 4 days.
this is the reason the badge was removed as people are and will be greedy.
a developer badge is a stupid addition (coming from the owner of one of the biggest coding communities on turkey) i realised while moderating my server that around %90 of the verified bots are stolen code.
verification is a need for a bot and honestly i don't see discord hiring more people just because of the fact that people want a badge. Its super easy to make a bot and get it to 75 servers. This will make the verified bot developer badge useless seing it will be owned by everyone around you.
i personally think its a bad idea seeing that a bot can be stuck at a 100 servers, it can be rapidly growing but it will have to wait for a month to make that growth just cuz people make bots because of the badge.

AmishaPateL. as you think the badge is stupid addition just don't forget that you also have it.
and in the second place the badge is for developers who put hard work to be recognized for their work and also be rewarded for what they did.
and about the code stealing thing in turkey, you can talk about this issue to them.
Thank You.

Yes. I do think they should add the badge back, but if they do there could be problems, like people buying / selling accounts alot more which also is a risk. -ayo#-0002

My suggestion: the old badge stays the same. People who got a verified bot after the removal of the badge showed that they did it for the community and not just to get it. They should get a "verified bot developer" badge that is somehow different from the OG one (color?)

Yes, the badge must come back.
Every single verified developer must write their own feedback or just comments and upvote this one.

It’s plain and simple, Discord will not under any circumstance bring back the badge, people were making bots just to get the badge, and it was masses of verification requests that were the same, they will not bring back the badge because of that reason. They already said this before in the Discord Developer server.

The “Early Supporter” badge was added by Discord to show who really supported Discord in the beginning with buying Discord Nitro. Not those who used Discord way back, ts for those who helped keep Discord going by purchasing their services that enhance the platform. It’s not a useless badge. And I myself don’t have the Early Supporter Badge.
