yeah, we don't really need a verify system to begin with
The intent is to stop bots from being able to just show up and do what ever. They'll have to do the thing to get in meaning a human is required.
cmon man who in the world will join a small community as a bot
i am running like 4 servers
and there have been no bots so far
bots join big servers usually
where traffic of people is huge and full of spam
Even if somebody wants to bot the server, the bot could just react to the message
I think I already suggested once to rewrite #welcome-rules because it doesn't explicitly mention that roles are needed to access the entire server. Someone who is used to Discord might get the idea, but someone totally new (and I think a lot of people joining are new to Discord) won't have any idea since they don't know what a role is, they will only see 4 channels and think that's it xD
Also I noticed that since we added the new Downloads channels, which are visible to people without roles, there is someone who actually put an emoji under one of the downloads despite the person not having any role, and even joined the server some time ago.
And I believe that hiding channels to people without roles doesn't really have any purpose anymore, I suggest that we can at least make all channels visible to newcomers but only read-only until they get a role, this should still prevent bots from spamming.
i support this idea for both of my hands
Making the servers visible should give the impression to newcomers that the server is actually alive, because otherwise if they only see the downloads channel they will probably guess that the server is dead.
I'll make them visible now
anyone got an alt acc to test if it works afterwards?
I could maybe try

alright, see if it works now
