Discord Verification Security Issue
Remove these ads. Join the Worldbuilders Guild
The verification system implimented on the official Discord server requires users to copy a run command into the Windows Run system. This command automatically forces the windows Command Promt to open, connect to an unfamiliar site, and issue a download, then open the program and initiate an operation. This is a MASSIVE security issue classified as Malware.
This verification system also automatically pings every user every time any user clicks on the link, causing mass spam.
Please disable this system immedieately and impliment a more secure, less spam-based verification system.
Steps to Reproduce
Join the Officieal Discord server, click on the verification link, and follow the steps (except don't hit enter in Run as instructed, as this may pose a security threat to your system). Then leave the Discord so as to not be victim of unnecessary spam.

Hey, thank you for reporting this! Yes, there was a problem with our Discord (we were attacked!), but our team and mods got it under control in record time. If you clicked the link, please run antivirus software and change your discord password to be safe! The server is already back in action, and we'll be continuing to add back channels that were deleted due to the attack
Find your way!
