I’ve been wondering about this for a while now. When you create a Discord bot, it automatically gets that [Bot] tag next to its username. I’m curious if there’s any way to hide this tag or create a bot that doesn’t display it at all. I’ve seen some accounts that seem automated but don’t have the bot label, so I’m not sure if this is possible through normal means or if there are special cases. Has anyone tried this before or knows if Discord allows bots to run without showing the bot indicator? I’m just exploring different possibilities for a project I’m working on.
nah, no way to hide the [Bot] label. Discord’s strict on that. those ‘automated’ accounts are likely self-bots, which are against the rules. better to just follow the normal bot guidelines, trust me.
Discord requires the [Bot] tag through their API - there’s no legit way to remove it. The tag helps users spot automated accounts for transparency and safety. Any bot made through Discord’s official developer portal will always show this label. If you see accounts that look automated without the bot tag, they’re either breaking Discord’s TOS with unsupported methods, or they’re just really active humans. I’d embrace the bot label instead of trying to get around it. Discord takes their bot policies seriously and violations can get your account terminated.
You can’t remove the [Bot] tag - it’s hardcoded into Discord’s system. I’ve built tons of Discord bots and that identifier is mandatory for anything created through the developer portal. Those accounts you saw that look automated without bot tags? They’re probably using user tokens instead of bot tokens, which breaks Discord’s ToS and gets you permanently banned. Discord added this labeling system so people know when they’re talking to a bot versus a human. Even if you found some workaround, Discord actively hunts for this stuff and their detection systems are pretty sophisticated. Just work within their guidelines instead of trying to bypass them.
