Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: Discord Drama! Adult Content Channel Requiring Real ID?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm gonna a be honest I legitimately do not understand why this is a big deal. I've been in lots of nsfw discord servers that require a censored ID+selfie for access. Nothing has ever gone wrong. Everyone talking about doxxing and shit but like. Maybe I just don't have the shit to lose to be worrying about it. What are they gonna do with my DoB anyways? You can't get into my bank account with that, you can't find my address with that, hell, you can find more about me on my other social medias. It's just another gate to deter the people who might try and sneak in yknow. Like you lock your door to deter thieves but if they really want they can just do a quick Google and figure out how to pick the lock. You're not ever gonna be 100% safe anywhere. Even in your own home.

You’d be surprised with what people can do with seemingly little information. You get enough information on a person from full name, DOB, street name, school history, whatever - that’s enough to get a foot in the door if they’re lax about their security (which I imagine people who give out their uncensored IDs to internet strangers likely are).

Everything we do online and in life ultimately has risks, but there’s things worth those risks and things not. Not to mention levels of risk. I’ll give my information to open a bank account because the level of risk is lower and the result is beneficial. The level of risk in giving some random discord owner my ID is not worth it because I have no idea what their method of protecting my information is and dragon porn is not worth something going wrong.

That said, if censored IDs were what’s being requested for this server than yeah, while I still think it’s weird personally to require that, it’s less risky (albeit still easily circumvented, thus making it pretty useless for this purpose). But it sounds like Dakkokki was accepting any ID and not requiring them to be censored, which is pretty concerning.

In the rules it literally requires you to censor the IDs though? I don't get why everyone is thinking people are sending in uncensored IDs.

AYRT

It's censored IDs, idk where the 'uncensored' rumor came from

If they have a rule the IDs must be censored, then I’ll admit I misunderstood the issue based off what I’d seen here and on SMR - I’m not in the server. I saw Dakkokki call censoring it the ‘bare minimum’, which came off as having a very lax attitude about it to me. Censoring identifying information shouldn’t be a minimum, it should be the only acceptable method.

If that’s not the case however and they are required to be censored, then I guess it’s not as risky. I don’t really participate in 18+ communities on discord, so I didn’t know it was a common age verification method. That said, I still find it to be odd given how easily that can be faked and still think people should be a bit more choosy when giving out any information like this. Not everyone is that diligent about hiding sensitive information, and even DOB can be enough if they can pry other information out of you.

But ultimately adults can make their own decisions and take what risks they want 🤷‍♀️ Maybe I’m just overly cautious.
