I’m really confused about Discord’s bot policies right now. They recently banned RoCleaner, but they’re still letting bots like Double Counter operate freely. This doesn’t make sense to me at all.
Double Counter has this lens search function that lets users track people across their alternate accounts. This seems way more problematic than anything RoCleaner was doing. People create alt accounts for legitimate reasons like keeping their privacy or separating different parts of their online life. When bots can connect these accounts together, it opens the door for stalking and harassment.
RoCleaner never had features that could expose people’s identities or track them across multiple accounts. Yet Discord decided to shut it down while leaving potentially harmful tracking bots alone. The platform really needs to apply their terms of service equally to all bots instead of this random enforcement we’re seeing.
this whole situation just proves discord’s review process is completely broken. they probably don’t manualy check half these bots before approval. rocleaner might’ve just hit bad timing or triggered some automated system while double counter slipped through. it’s frustrating watching actually useful bots get axed while sketchy tracking ones stay online.
It’s all about how Discord reviews and flags bots. Double Counter flies under the radar because its sketchy features aren’t obvious upfront. That lens search thing you mentioned? It’s hidden behind normal features, so Discord’s review team misses it during approval. RoCleaner probably broke more visible rules that triggered their automated systems. Discord focuses on bots that mess with server management or messages - they don’t really care about privacy issues. Double Counter’s tracking features exist in a blind spot that Discord hasn’t figured out how to handle yet. We’ll keep seeing these random enforcement decisions until they update their review process to catch cross-account tracking.
Discord’s always been reactive, not proactive - that’s why you see these weird inconsistencies. They usually only act when bots blow up negatively or get mass reported. RoCleaner probably got caught in a ban wave or too many people complained about it. Those tracking features in Double Counter are sketchy as hell, but Discord’s mod team just responds to reports instead of actually auditing existing bots. So you get situations where dodgy bots stay up while others get axed for no clear reason. Double Counter might be operating in some gray area Discord hasn’t addressed yet, while RoCleaner probably broke more obvious rules.
