Age Verification badge to prove a user's age

So perhaps discord can implement a verification process in which would help figure out who is 18+. This feature will give anyone who is proven to be 18+ a badge that will let other users know they are an adult, but it will not tell their exact age. This could also be better than having individual discord servers deal with this on their own, because we all know people have trust issues with strangers in an online server.

Options in how it can be done by discord staff: 

  • User may have to provide valid ID, and discord must have trusted staff dedicated to handling these processes.
  • Users may have to provide a college ID card or driver's license.
  • Users may have to answer a set of questions to prove their age or ID.
  • Users may have to provide links to social media to help prove their age. If this does not help in proving the user's age, the other options above may be considered.

Those who have been age verified will:

  • receive a badge on their profile that proves they are 18+. It will likely say "Verified Adult."
  • be unrestricted from NSFW channels and content by default.
  • be allowed to switch the privacy setting from "Keep me safe" to "My friends are nice" or "I live on the edge."

Those who refuse to verify or are found to be underage will: 

  • not receive a badge on their profile that proves they are 18+.
  • be denied access to NSFW channels or content.
  • be denied the ability to change their privacy settings from "Keep me safe."
  • have any explicit images or links sent to them via DM blocked by a bot. (This also means anyone who is of age will have NSFW images or links blocked by a bot if the receiver of the message is not age verified.)

    none of those except for the IDs are verifiable, and verifying those would take a lot more than the current employees (who are all too busy making discord anyways) to do. think about maybe how discord wouldn't be able to do this next time.

    It would cost discord a lot to verify every single person who wanted to be verified. It took them months just for hypesquad when there was an application for it, and also note that nsfw filter can be used as more than just an nsfw filter: for example a spoiler, not to mention whatever methods you can verify there will be someone who wants to be verified but can't

    Everyone so far has a good point.
    Though now I honestly don't even know why I tried to come up with a solution to combat pedophilia and underage users viewing NSFW content. I was hoping this would help discord, but I guess what I got is not so bright of an idea. I'll need to think of another way.

    Thank you for your input.

    I'm not mad, just disappointed my idea didn't turn out too well.

    None of the game related programs like Steam/Epic Store does a real age/ID verification why should Discord do it?

    I Think this is a very nice idea. This would make jobs a LOT easier for NSFW servers when it comes to verifying ages. However; like others have said; discord wont have the time and resources for this. Probably The closest we can get to someone probably having their age verified is having a nitro subscription, but even then thats still kind of iffy. Instead of having discord staff verify this, there should be a community hub where other users can verify others.

    TL;DR - Make custom badges for users to have instead of just the default HypeSquad and Nitro badges.

    Community 18+ badges would be helpful verifying users age to make sure they're confirmed to be of legal age to view NSFW content. Having others verify your age for your badge would definitely make your life easier. This could have the possibility of being cheated, but it the end of the day its just an idea i had.

    They could outsource the work and pass the cost on to us as a 1 time fee.

    While I understand that Discord wouldn't have the time and resources to verify everyone's proof of age, I do think at the very least it'd be nice if users were required to register their date of birth so that 18+ or minor info can be visible. Sure, people will still lie, but much less so than before since a lot of member only think to lie about their age once they want 18+ access on a server.
