Getting your bot verified by Discord

When your bot goes over 10,000 users, Discord asks for a form to keep its access: here it is, already filled in, ready to copy.

To work properly, your bot uses three special Discord accesses, the privileged intents: seeing members, seeing their status, and reading messages. They are the three switches you turned on when creating the token.

Does this concern you?

As long as your bot reaches fewer than 10,000 users, you have nothing to do. Discord counts users, no longer servers (the old 100-server threshold has not been used since June 2026).

From 10,000 users, Discord asks you to fill in a form to keep these accesses:

you are told by e-mail or by a Discord private message, and by an alert on the developer portal;
you have 90 days to send the form;
during the review, your bot keeps working normally, and can still join new servers;
without a form within 90 days, the accesses are removed: most of the bot's features stop. You can still apply later.

Filling in the form

Good news: you have nothing to write. The form below is already filled in for a Gestion V2; all that's left is to copy it.

Open the Discord developer portal and choose your bot's application.
Open the request form (Request Intents), from the alert shown on your application or the link in the notification.
For each field, click Copy below, then paste into the field of the same name on Discord. Pick the same answers in the drop-down lists.
Tick the three intents, accept the terms, then click Submit.

Adjust if needed

These answers describe a standard Gestion V2. If a feature they mention doesn't apply to you, remove it from the text before sending.

Once a year

Once access is granted, Discord asks you to renew the request every year; you will be warned before the deadline. This request is separate from Discord's "app verification".

Application Details

What does your application do? Please be as detailed as possible, and feel free to include links to image or video examples.

This application is a private server-management and moderation bot for a single large community. Its core features are: automated moderation (anti-invite/link filtering, configurable banned-word filtering, strike/sanction system, raid protection, blacklist enforcement), member onboarding (captcha/verification gating, welcome & leave messages, automatic role assignment), message audit logging (edit/delete logs to a staff channel), role menus and reaction roles, a supporter-recognition system, Twitch go-live announcements, and various community utility commands. The app operates only in the server(s) it has been explicitly added to by me and acts solely on configuration set by that server's administrators.

Do you have a public Privacy Policy telling your users about their data usage?

Privileged Gateway Intents

Which intents are you applying for, if any? (Leave blank if you do not need any of these)

Server Members Intent

Presence Intent

Message Content Intent

You have the following limited intents and may apply for their full intents: Server Members Intent, Message Content Intent, Presence Intent.

Server Members Intent

Why do you need the Guild Members intent?

Member onboarding and moderation. Specifically: welcome and leave messages, captcha/verification gating of new members with automatic kick on timeout, automatic role assignment on join, blacklist enforcement (auto-banning known bad actors on join), raid/anti-spam protection, role menus, the supporter-role system, and the moderation toolkit (strikes, mutes, kicks, bans), all of which require resolving and tracking member objects and reacting to member join/leave/update events in real time.

Member events trigger immediate actions (send a welcome message, assign a role, run verification, enforce a blacklist, apply a sanction). Member objects are read to evaluate roles and join dates for moderation logic. The bot does not build profiles of members or use the data for any purpose beyond the server-management features the server's admins have configured.

No member personal data is stored in bulk. The app persists only minimal moderation metadata keyed by user ID, e.g. sanction/strike counts and blacklist entries (which exist to enforce moderation rules and are removable by server staff). No member lists, profiles, or message history are retained.

Are you storing any API Data off-platform (outside of Discord)?

Presence Intent

Why do you need the Guild Presences intent?

There are several features driven by presence updates such as a supporter-recognition role that is granted/removed when a member adds (or removes) the server's configured tag/keyword in their status or activity; Twitch go-live announcements, which detect when a member begins a Streaming activity and post an announcement; online-member counting for server statistics, and so on...

Presence updates are evaluated the moment they arrive and acted on immediately (add/remove a role, post a live announcement, update a counter). The activity/status text is only checked against the server-configured keyword; the streaming activity is only read to obtain the stream link/name for the announcement.

Presence and activity data is processed transiently in the event handler and is never written to persistent storage. Only the resulting role assignment (a normal Discord role) persists, as managed by the server.

Can users opt-out of having their Presence data tracked?

Yes

Are you storing user activity data off-platform (outside of Discord)?

Message Content Intent

Can users opt-out of having their message content data tracked?

Yes

Are you storing message content data off-platform (outside of Discord)?

Will the message content data be used to train machine learning or AI Models? If yes, please explain how in the text box below, including how such models would be used.

Why do you need the Message Content intent?

Moderation and audit logging such as anti-invite/anti-link filtering that scans messages for Discord invites and external links and removes violations; a configurable banned-word filter that removes messages containing the server's banned words and gives a strike; message edit and delete audit logs that record content to a staff-only log channel; parsing of the server's configured customizable key-word trigger events.

Message content is inspected at receipt for moderation rules and, where logging is enabled by the server, forwarded to the staff-configured audit-log channel. It is used solely for the moderation, logging, and command features the server admins have enabled, never for analytics, training, profiling, advertising, or sharing with third parties.

Persistent storage of message bodies is not performed. Moderation records persisted by the app contain only the violation type and user ID, not message text.
