Bring Back The Discord Developer Badge
Bring Back The Discord Developer Badge
Why this petition matters
Discord Is A Platform Where People Join Communities And Make Friends. One Integral Part Of This Community Are The Bots Present, With Their Developers. The Developers Who Got Their Bot Verified Were Awarded With A Badge. But Since August 19 2020, Discord Has Removed The Badge Suddenly, Reducing The Enthusiasm Of The Developers.
"So, as of today--August 19, 2020--we are changing the “Verified Bot Developer” profile badge to the “Early Verified Developer” badge, and will not be granting it to anyone who submits for approval after today. If you have already submitted your application, you will still receive the badge.", Quoted A Staff
I Thus Request Discord To Bring Back The Badge Or Give Off Something Else To The Developer, Possibly Even Just Something Virtual, But Something.
Although This Was Sudden, No One Was Talking Much About It. I Was Aware Of The Badge And Was Very Fascinated About Getting It. But 2 Weeks After I Launched My First Bot, I Got To Know About The Change. I Was Broken With My Wish To Get The Badge; I Had Spent Countless Weeks, Staying Up At Night, Making The Bot. I Felt Like I Had Wasted A Part Of My Life For Nothing. I Talked With Other Colleagues And They Were Down Too. I Hope Discord Sees This And Takes Some Action.
