Ability to disable DMs from users and/or bots.

grango

I often get DM's from spambots, advertisers or annoying users. To prevent that, I've disabled DM's from mutual server members. The downside to disabling DM's is that I can no longer receive or send messages to bots I manage. I think we should have the ability to disable DM's for users and bots separately.

    A simple feature, but a very useful one. Several bots on servers I've joined use DMs to confirm role assignment or provide other useful information. I keep mutual-server DMs turned on to avoid impeding the functionality of these bots, but that opens me up to all the spammers and advertisers to DM me.

    Same thing is happening to me. But most of the servers are nsfw and I don’t want them. I just block them but new ones pop up. It sucks. Need to fix that and the report feature too.

    The same thing as Sargent1 is happening to me - a bunch of like 18+ and NSFW bots DMing me server invites and stuff. I just want to go on about my business w/o DMs form these bots.

    Yeah, this is so annoying. I disabled DMs from mutual servers and these bots keep spamming me. Block 1 then another one appears. And they are always offline.

    I want discord to have something about this like ban a bot if it sends a server to you or a prevent bot spam system

    Same for me, but this time it's with users. I don;t want users to DM me, but I want bots to DM me

    For me is inversed. I don't want users to DM me, but I want to keep testing/having DM with the bots.

    I had come over to make exactly this suggestion. I want DMs from friends and bots, so I think bots should have a separate setting from other users to allow DMs from them.

    There's another suggestion asking for what I think is almost the same thing here if you guys want to help raise awareness and upvote that one too.

    How is this not a standard feature? I receive numerous spammy invites every day from channels I have no interest in. I also receive daily phishing attacks. Should have guessed that crypto discord is a dumpster fire.
