The Holy Grail of Discord: How to Snag That Elusive Blue Tick (and Maybe a Slice of Nitro Cake While You're At It)
Ah, the blue tick. The verified badge. The mark of a true Discord VIP (Very Important Person...or at least, that's what you tell yourself in the mirror). Let's face it, folks, in this age of digital clout, a blue tick is like the online equivalent of a monocle and a top hat – a certain je ne sais quoi that screams, "I've made it (kind of)."
But fear not, aspiring Discord emperors and empresses! While getting your paws on that verification badge might seem about as likely as finding a server that doesn't have an ear-splitting anime fight going on in the background, fret not! This handy-dandy guide will equip you with the knowledge (and a healthy dose of self-deprecation) to maybe, possibly, perhaps inch closer to verification glory.
Step 1: Be Beyonce (or at Least Really Famous)
This one's a no-brainer. If you're already a global popstar with a legion of devoted fans, congratulations! Discord will practically throw a blue tick verification party at your virtual doorstep. Just be sure to RSVP – those virtual cupcakes won't frost themselves.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Step 2: Be Not Beyonce (But Still Pretty Darn Awesome)
Okay, so maybe you're not rocking a stadium tour anytime soon. Don't despair! Discord verification can also be bestowed upon us mere mortals, particularly those who manage exceptionally large and well-established servers. Think of it as the online equivalent of getting a gold star on your kindergarten spelling test. You gotta be top dog (or at least top cat) in your community to get noticed.
Step 3: Become a Master of Engagement (Without Losing Your Mind)
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
Ever heard of the phrase "throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks"? Yeah, that's not the Discord verification strategy. You gotta be engaging with your community, fostering a positive and vibrant space. Run contests, host game nights, and maybe even write a haiku or two about the beauty of server emojis. Just remember, there's a fine line between enthusiastic and, well, slightly unhinged. Keep things fun, but avoid live-streaming your sock collection unless you're absolutely certain it'll be a hit.

Step 4: Patience is a Virtue (Especially When Dealing with Bots)
The wait for verification can feel like watching paint dry while simultaneously being chased by a pack of angry squirrels. There's no set timeframe, and the process can feel shrouded in mystery (almost as mysterious as that one server member who never speaks but has been online for 4,320 hours). Don't pester the Discord support team. Trust us, they've seen enough blue tick pleas to fill the Grand Canyon. Just keep building your awesome community and hope for the verification gods to shine their light upon you.
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
Step 5: Embrace the Power of Self-Promotion (But Not That Kind)
While shamelessly self-promoting yourself across every Discord server you can find might not be the best tactic, there is a place for strategic brand awareness. Promote your server on relevant social media platforms. Connect with other server owners and collaborate on events. Basically, let the world know your server exists and why it's the most happening place on the internet (besides that server with the aforementioned anime fight, which, let's be honest, is pretty entertaining).
Bonus Tip: Offer Sacrifices to the Discord Gods (We Can't Guarantee It Works, But Hey)
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
Look, we're not saying this will definitely get you verified. But if you're feeling particularly desperate, maybe try leaving a plate of virtual cookies by your monitor. Who knows, maybe the Discord verification team has a sweet tooth?
Remember, fellow travelers on the road to verification, the journey is just as important as the destination. Focus on building a fantastic community, and the blue tick might just follow. And hey, if it doesn't, at least you'll have a group of awesome people to commiserate with. Just be sure to avoid commiserating over voice chat while someone's mic is picking up the sound of their pet hamster operating heavy machinery.
