/verify

Example:

/verify

• Chatot: Manage Roles
• Users: None

Summary: Links a user's Discord and forum accounts.

Allows a user to associate their Discord profile to their forum account. Running the command will present users with a unique URL to the forums, which will detect their login and associate their accounts (previously, users were required to enter their Discord username into their Identities field; this is no longer required). This association cannot be removed or updated once established, given users are only allowed 1 forum account. However, users may associate any number of Discord accounts to their forum account. This command is used to add/remove the user role specified in /config verify reqs to grant themselves access to the server. Staff can lookup this association at any time with the /whois family of commands.

Running this command in DMs will allow you to link your forum and Discord profiles, but your roles (server access) will not be updated. To gain access to a server, this command must be run within it.

A more detailed description can be found on the Verification page.

For best results, it it recommended to setup a button people can press instead of running this command. See /config verify button. However, Chatot will continue to support both methods.

Users sometimes complain that the command does not show up for them in the chat. Common reasons include:

• The Discord API is lagging/unavailable.
• Their client is outdated.
• Desktop only: They have legacy chat input enabled (User Settings > Accessibility > "Use the legacy chat input").
• The command is not able to be run by unverified users. See Managing Command Permissions.

If you or anyone else can see the command in the server, then it's not a Chatot issue. Address the issues above or consider using /config verify button to give users a button to press instead of/in addition to a command to run.
