There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was conflicted on whether to say "across all servers the bot is in" as I don't know whether that is implied. Red is meant to be installed to guilds, not as a user app.
They are now used for different things. The 100 servers is used for App Verification and the 10k users is used for Privileged Intents. Under this new system, it does not appear (based on the docs that have been updated) you need a Verified App to request access to Privileged Intents. |
You are correct and that's an oversight on my part. Thanks for double checking. I will revise this PR to better differentiate. |

Notably, privileged intents do not need ID verification but still need you to go through their abysmal application process. |

Description of the changes
Update the documentation surrounding privileged intents based off Discord's latest announcement.
I am not sure of whether or not bots can now be in more than 100 servers without verification as long as the unique member count remains below 10,000. I have went ahead and removed it until clarification is added on that. I don't see it any longer.
This also updates the bot verification article which currently leads to a 404.
Have the changes in this PR been tested?
Yes
