Remove 'Early Verified Bot Developer' Badge
Hello,
A lot of you may disagree with me on this, but I think the badge should be permanantly removed. The whole purpose of the badge was to highlight the creator of amazing bots that were officially verified by Discord but that is no longer the case.
Bots are still able to get verified and I fully agree with this remaining available but I fail to see the real purpose behind this badge except to degrade those who weren't able to get it and them knowing that it is unobtainable and will never be returning.
You aren't meant to be developing a bot on Discord for a badge anyways, so what's the point in it remaining? It's simply a reminder to everyone who works hard on their bots and gets their bots verified, that they are still inferior to those who were able to get verified earlier on.
To everyone who has the badge, you are all happy since you have it, but try thinking from the perspective of others who work hard and invest countless hours into their bots, get them verified, and don't get the same treatment that others did when they followed the same process.
It is entirely unfair, and as Discord Staff have said in the past "It will not be making a return in the future", well then what is it's purpose then? Is it just to be a reminder that many others weren't able to get their bots verified in time so they don't get a badge and will remain inferior?
This is simply a formal request towards Discord to at least consider removing this badge as it servers no real purpose and should never have remained if it would be entirely unobtainable for others.
Thank You for reviewing my request! - Neko

Hey Neko,
I feel the same way. I think it's not right for people to do something just for a badge, and I agree the entire way that they should at least consider changing the badge. In my opinion they should rework the badge for the people who have made a significant change in bots on Discord, for example, the creators of the popular bots like Mee6 or something unique that a lot of people enjoy, such as BoxBot or Dank Memer, should get the badge, something to recognize more than show, if you understand what I'm getting at.
But this was just my way to try and get this post recognized. Some of the things I don't agree with, but a lot of the points you made I do agree on.
