Reconsider accepting bots with some NSFW commands to qualify for App Discovery

[ilxlodev]

Hello:

A few hours ago an event occurred on the Discord Developers server in which an App Discovery Sneek Peak was displayed, in addition, we were granted access to modify some parameters that will be displayed on the page when a user clicks on the bot.

One of the things that concerns me is the requirement that commands cannot contain harmful or inappropriate content.

First of all, I know that one of the Discord employees mentioned on the Discord Developers server that the NSFW commands to apply in the discovery were being discussed, however, I want to present my use case and my idea, since, this It affects me negatively.

I understand that Discord wants to be a safe platform for all ages, but denying bots access to App Discovery doesn't seem fair.

To continue, I recommend you take a look at this Feature Request that I made 11 months ago: #3312

With little information that I have, I can deduce that the problem is given by the "Popular Slash Commands" section, since in this section the name and description of the popular commands of the bot are shown and, I agree that showing an NSFW command would not be appropriate, but is the solution to deny bots with NSFW commands access to App Discovery?
I think at least this should be taken into account: filter the commands and only show non-NSFW commands.

How could this be carried out?
This could be done by adding a property that allows a command to be marked as NSFW or age restricted.

While it's true that I've heard that this required extra work from Discord employees, I think that while the Discord client doesn't discriminate between NSFW and normal commands, at least App Discovery should take that into account.

I may be wrong, but if we could mark the commands as NSFW, in theory, there would be no problem with bots with NSFW commands, right?

In my case, I have a multipurpose bot, and it is unavoidable to have a category of commands with explicit content. I have two commands in this category, one of them contains quite a few subcommands that send explicit content, and another looks up definitions in the urban dictionary.

My bot also has many other utilities, such as moderation, administration and fun among other things.

For this reason I think that this requirement to apply to App Discovery is unfair and I ask that this Feature Request be carried out.

I may not have explained myself well, if so let me know.

Please reconsider changing the requirement to have no NSFW commands! 🙏

flagging commands as nsfw is already on the roadmap (to hide them in non gated channels and to age gated users)

Yes, I heard something about this topic, but, if I'm not mistaken, it was a very tedious task.

Hiding NSFW-marked commands and the ones you can't use (permissions) required an infrastructure rework and they mentioned it was very close to being done in yesterday's event

We'll discuss it this week, stay tuned :)
