The enshitification of discord, you mustn't run a server for adult content unless you can personally verify every member is an adult or they will shut down the server and label all members dangers to children.
If there were any doubts that discord staff with final say are completely retarded this clears all remaining ones.
Let's be real if they did that a fuckton of people would get labeled child predators and that would lead to that label losing it's meaning in the eyes of the community which in turn would give actual scum a smokescreen to blend right in
And 100% airtight verification is impossible without systems in place - systems that are a ripe target for cyberattacks - I speak from experience on that one, used to verify people by asking them to write down their username on piece of paper, place ID beside it, take picture and censor all the stuff I have no buisness of knowing and here is what I discovered:
THERE IS NO GLOBAL STANDARD ID FORMAT combine that with certain countries having IDs that you can get before reaching adult age and still be valid once you do for few more years and you end up in a situation where all you have is a day, a month and no year of birth you google the IDs of that country and how they operate to try to figure it out only to learn the second thing I mentioned and now you can't be sure that the person you're verifying is an adult
