New members who join a server can't send DMs to other server members (too many AD BOTS ruining servers)

Hostile

Tons of Advertising Bots join servers and send scam and spam messages to all members. 
Please implement something to prevent this. Its really really annoying and even if we find all bots and ban them, usually the damage is already done

    Yes! Possibly also a way to stop an unverified role from seeing server members through the API could also help to mitigate this problem

    Agreed, would love to see a hidable member list permission, that would help solve this issue, or at the very least decrease the amount of spam bots.

    Yes, a permission would be great, but it would have to not work like channel hiding, because client mods can still see information there. It's also hard to know what it would do if you saw a message from that user. Would it show them in the list then? Would it just ignore it and not show them? Perhaps it could show the user as 'anon' or something?

    Perhaps there could also be a permission for 'be seen by everyone', so admins could still be seen, or modmail bots could still be accessed etc. It should definately be a permission that isn't given with admin like display role separately or something (although should not just be the display role separately permission)

    ... 100% something to consider though
