Archive: our revised policy on Discord Client Modifications and Self Bots

This blog post was originally a message posted in #changelog in our Discord server on April 3rd, 2022. It has been uploaded here for archiving purposes.

Hello,

Under increasing cognizance, we have decided to change our policy and treatment of people using BetterDiscord or other similar client modification tools.

From today, harmless client modifications such as visual ones or those which help aid a disability will be allowed as long as the person is not encouraging others to install client modifications. Harmful client modifications or self-bots that store deleted messages or help spam/raid will not be allowed.

Users who have already been banned for using harmless client modifications before this will be unbanned.

Thank you.
