Add a option to link discord account

Adding a option to link your discord account would help preventing impersonation scams, and I think should be something added to mcm.

Yeah and not like there is to add your username#discrim (tag) but like link the full profile and be able to see everything like discord.id

Not too bad of an idea but I think it'd direct users to do more transactions on discords (where evidence can be easily faked). Having people assign themselves a discord account would most certainly be helpful as a form of identification but what happens if a user simply inspect elements evidence to make it seem as if the messages were true?

And this is why we have videos and we refresh discord!

I have personally seen and experienced chrome extensions that keep the same edited data. A while back a user of my server got banned due to threatening to dox someone's information in DM's but a week later we got valid evidence of this being completely false and the original reporter admitted to using a chrome extension.

Ahh sure but what about the client itself ?[DOUBLEPOST=1621111274][/DOUBLEPOST]
Also what about showing extensions list if someone doesn’t use the client ? Or use mobile version ?

In regards to extension lists - you can remove an extension straight after scamming. And for a mobile version - I'm almost certain there are actives methods that can be used to alter your messages on discord.

No like shot the video to prove your messages and show in video your extensions but what about the discord client on windows/macOS?

1) Extension could be disguised as an "AD-Blocker" for example.
2) Excuses such as; "I don't have space for discord" could be common.

Make them uninstall all extensions on on video and refresh the page or open multiple browsers or make them show disk space or force them to install discord ?

This wouldn't be practical. You can't simply force users to uninstall all extensions and threaten them with a ban if they do otherwise - same with forcing them to install discord. It'd cause unnecessary problems in my opinion and it's far safer to simply converse using the conversations feature on MCM as evidence cannot be faked.

No I mean in a case of a scam report where people use discord and show SS and videos as proof? Maybe tell them you need to do X Y Z for us to count that as valid proof? Or ask them to add you and do a live screen sharing ?

Live-screen sharing would just cause a long delay since the SR's would need to be available at the same time as the person providing evidence. And yes, saying X Y Z would work but once again - this doesn't necessarily make the evidence 100% authentic. This is why I always send my clients a ToS in messages to which they reply so I can ensure there was a far more secure proof of identification.
