Proposal for YouTube Channel Authentication Badge on Discord
In the course of utilizing your service, we, as a prominent YouTube channel, are currently grappling with challenges related to managing bot users and fakes. In an effort to address this situation, we would like to submit a proposal.
It would be extremely beneficial if larger YouTube channels could have the option to apply for a special badge. This badge could serve as a form of authentication symbol, verifying the authenticity of the channel. With such a badge, server owners could instruct their members to "look for this badge to ensure that you are interacting with the genuine channel. If a user with the same name lacks this badge, it is likely a fake."
Especially in the current situation where Discord partnerships are prevalent, such a badge would be an effective measure to enhance the security and credibility of larger YouTube channels on Discord.
We hope that you will consider our proposal positively. We would greatly appreciate feedback on this suggestion.
Best regards, Tim

What's preventing the use of a role for this with the associated image badging?

Thank you for your question. Using a badge offers several advantages over relying solely on a role with an associated image badge:
Meaningful Across Server Boundaries: A badge is meaningful even if users do not share the same server. This ensures the channel's authenticity is clearly communicated across various platforms and servers.
Profile Display: The badge is visible in the profile, which proves useful, especially in private messages. In such cases, roles or name rights may not be visible, but the badge in the profile provides immediate information about the user's authenticity.
Avoiding Uncertainties: Many users tend to send numerous inquiries to verify a channel's authenticity. A badge provides a clear visual identification, minimizing uncertainties. One can simply say, "If the user doesn't have this badge, it's likely a fake."
Comparable to Other Platforms: The concept of a badge aligns with the "blue verify checkmarks" on other social media platforms. This instills confidence and makes it easier for users to distinguish official channels from non-official ones.
Overall, introducing a badge would be a straightforward and effective solution to address authenticity concerns and enhance the user experience.
We are available to discuss further questions or provide additional clarification.
Best regards,
Tim
