    Anyone an expert using discord? What are some ways you can prevent bots from joining your server or spamming members thru dm?

    Does turning the highest moderation which requires a verified phone help in anyway?

    Like a lot of teenagers, my son uses Discord for gaming purposes. I asked him yesterday if he ever gets spam in his DMs from bots and he said, "Yeah, every day. It's nonstop." And then I asked him if he would give up his phone number to participate in a Discord room, and he said "No way."

    I know that's not very helpful but the verification situation is a real dilemma. The more you verify via email, phone, captchas, etc. the lower your signups are. But if you make it super easy to register, here comes the spammers. scammers, and trolls.
