Discord, please ban these accounts
Рет қаралды 485,651
Күн бұрынGot a friend request from a Discord user with the name "check my bio"? Well clicking on the bio is like opening Pandora's box.
The grey market side of Discord has gone rampant in this new advertising technique. Malicious actors no longer will send a DM and let it hit your message requests. Rather they will send you a Discord friend request telling you to check their bio. And it's the wild west out there, scams, ads, fake giveaways, crypto double money scams, and community server advertisements.
There's some good and there is some bad. The bad thing is that it looks like Discord might not be doing anything. The good? You can easily prevent yourself from being targeted by scams or being advertised to by people trying to sell garbage.

Literally, worst part is removing the 4 number tag system will likely make scammers worse than they are now (which is horrendous to say the least) so it's a pretty big "yikes" if you ask me. If they really wanted to push this god awful change they could've at least focused on cutting scammers down prior to implementation but no.. why would they do that?
@rat-qw5ys Жыл бұрын
real cause it is wayyy more likely that we'd run out of usernames faster than tags. they shouldve just added another number to it (e.g #XXXXX) this way instead of only being 9,999 of a certain name there can be 99,999 ik i took this from the creators past video but thats my opinion

There is no way they won't get into legal trouble for this at some point, what a huge mistake.

There are ways to prevent DMs from Random "People", you can first as you said in the Video disable all Friend Requests (or less if you have trust in "humanity") from your Settings and in Privacy and Safety (in your Settings, again) under Server Privacy Defaults you can chose to allow or not DMs From Server Members and so far, besides my friends who got hacked (won't help in this specific situation 🙃) I haven't gotten any suspicious links or whatever (this Setting isn't retroactive, which means you will have to go in each Server's Privacy Settings to disable Random DMs manually, in the Servers you were in before activating the Setting, to acces em you Right Click on PC or Hold your Finger on the Server's icon on Phone)

As a server owner I'd love it if bans reverted friend requests. Because they come and the damage is already done. Also I'd love to forbid users from doing friend requests/DMing people in a server. That way I don't have to kick the bot but just laugh at it until it leaves the server.

@i-love-my-cat-milo9 Жыл бұрын
I wonder if what I experienced is similar to this. In one server I'm in, I would always get messages and message requests from random people, and the one consistent thing was their bio had something to do with art, sometimes saying "commissions open." When I first received a message, I talked to someone who claimed their cat was sick and they needed commission money to help it. Now, the art examples they provided were a little sus. They seemed to be all different styles, and I was trying to reverse image search them but found minimal results besides one Twitter account for one of the works. I confronted them about it, and they didn't really settle my suspicion. I want to support artists as I am one too, but I was mainly confused, so I used the fact I don't have Paypal to get out of the conversation. Later, once I turned off messages for that server, I just got a bunch of friend requests from similar accounts. Some were older, and some were new. I don't know if they were all coming to my dms for comms or if they were scams or what. Either way, I don't like advertising in my dms, so I just turned off friend requests bc of the spam. :/

I don't think saying you're underage on the bio is violating the TOS, because someone who is 13+ could write that they are 9 on it. You'd have to report them that the bio was used with malicious intent, at least scamming, or other intents that they want to cause problems to others. The bios that basically promote the Crypto scam or other stuff like free Robux, or stuff that's basically violating the TOS is the only way if I'm correct.
