Give a warning about sending a DM to a user

[JDJGInc]

What i ask here is the fact that we need a message from discord maybe an empherall message from discord, about not Dming bots senstive content like images, whenever the app is rebooted, or maybe every once a while a message can be sent talking about not sending bots private information that you wouldn't want a stranger to see

Also maybe on a bot's profile, could we get privilleged intents, and if possible give a list of other non privilleged intents that a bot developer likes to use?
we also need more warnings from discord about bot's potential abuse like try to keep the administrator permissions done
though i believe giving admin permissions to a bot is already something that discord warns about.

I made this mockup a bit ago, could be interesting if it were implemented:

I would really like something like this. Lots of users dm bots random stuff that the dev could see while they don’t know someone can. Personally I think warnings would do a better job at protecting privacy as the message content intent doesn’t prevent actual malicious developers from getting the intent through adding some basic automod and waiting for discord to reply to the ticket.

I think it would be better if it said 'The developers of this application can read messages you send it' to make it clearer there's real people on the other side

well typically there isn't a real person reading them, maybe "this application and its developer"?

[x-daniel-17]

I think what muddyfish suggested would fit in nicely with the “THIS WILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPER OF APPLICATION_NAME TO:" on the oauth login page I’ve been seeing lately but both would work

You should have on it both, that way people inviting bots can see this message, but it's useful to have it on the profile, because not everyone will invite the bot.

Possibly something along the lines of this could help display the privileged intents of bots and some more info about them aswell
Doesn't have to look like this at all, but atleast some indication of the info/intents of a bot on their profile would be great.

This would help clarify what the bot application has access to, a lot better than showing the switches from the discord api portal, but they would need to translate this to app supported languages.
Which I hope isn't too hard to do

It honestly shouldn't be hard to do, and I hope discord will implement this soon.
