My Discord bot has reached the limit of 100 servers and I keep facing rejections on my verification applications. I’ve submitted requests for approval several times, but Discord continues to deny them for reasons that appear trivial.
Every time I receive feedback, I make the necessary adjustments, but they always seem to find new issues to cite for rejection. This is incredibly frustrating, especially since there’s a large audience eager to use my bot.
Has anyone encountered this verification struggle? What are typical errors that lead to denials? I feel like I might be overlooking something important, but I can’t pinpoint what Discord is looking for in these requests. Any advice on navigating their review process would be greatly appreciated.
Discord’s verification process has become notably more stringent recently. In my experience with two bots, I’ve found that a few key aspects often lead to rejections. Firstly, ensure that your privacy policy is comprehensive; even if your bot collects minimal data, clearly outline what information is gathered, the retention period, and user rights. Additionally, your bot’s description should be detailed and unique, as generic features without innovation may lead to denial. Also, prioritize robustness by thoroughly testing your bot’s rate limits and error handling, since they conduct tests during the review process. If any issues are found, they will reject your submission. Although the waiting period can be frustrating, making the necessary adjustments based on feedback can eventually lead to approval.
discord’s review team is all over the place. my friend got approved first try while i needed 4 attempts lol. what helped me was making sure my bot did something unique - they don’t want another basic mod or music bot. also watch for typos and rushed explanations. they’re picky about that stuff.
The verification bottleneck is indeed frustrating. I faced similar issues, receiving three rejections before finally getting approved for my bot last year. One crucial aspect is to ensure your Terms of Service documents are comprehensive; Discord pays close attention to these. You need to explicitly address data handling, user conduct, and limitations of your service. Rather than simply listing features in your application, include detailed command examples to demonstrate how users will interact with your bot and the unique value it offers. If your bot involves automated messaging, you must be clear about your spam prevention measures and user privacy. The review team is highly cautious about bots that could potentially disrupt servers, so refining your application based on their feedback is essential. Persistence will ultimately lead to success.
