Hello, everyone! Lily is back with another important update to share! Today, we’re diving into an issue that continues to plague Discord—servers using dishonest methods to grow and exploit users. This is something we all need to be aware of, as it can affect both individuals and communities on the platform.
A particular method, known as "Invite Rewards," has been used by many problematic servers. If you’re not familiar with it, Nicholas actually covered this tactic in a previous post, so you might want to check that out for more details. In essence, these servers promise rewards to users in exchange for inviting others to join. However, the rewards they offer are often misleading or entirely fake.
One server we investigated uses Invite Rewards to falsely promote itself by offering things like fake Nitro subscriptions, free Robux, bot-generated members (literally fake accounts), and other similar schemes. These tactics not only exploit unsuspecting users but also inflate the server’s perceived popularity through artificial means.
During our investigation, we also uncovered another server that was using Fortnite-related rewards to lure people in. They promised free bundles, V-Bucks, and other in-game perks. Of course, these rewards were either fake or designed to scam users out of their personal information. To address this, Nicholas took swift action and banned that server from interacting with us entirely.
Sadly, this issue is far from isolated. There are still countless servers on Discord employing similar dishonest tactics. While we’ve taken steps to protect our community, we’re hopeful that Discord itself will crack down on these servers, banning or removing them to create a safer and more trustworthy environment for everyone.
For now, stay vigilant and cautious when you come across servers offering deals that seem too good to be true. If you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to report it. Together, we can help make Discord a better place for all!
