Intents request guide

If your whitelabel bot grows past 10,000 servers, Discord requires you to verify the application and justify any privileged intents it uses. This page walks through the questions Discord asks and gives suggested answers for a Prosperity whitelabel bot.

Whitelabel bots run on Prosperity's infrastructure and follow the same data practices, so most answers apply as written. Replace the documentation link with your own if you host separate docs for your bot.

Which intent applies

Prosperity uses the Server Members intent (also called the Guild Members intent). It does not use the Message Content intent. See Intents and data for the reasoning.

Application details

What does your application do?

Discord asks for a detailed description, with links to images or video where possible.

This bot is a custom (white label) version of the Prosperity Bot.

Prosperity is a levelling bot for Discord. Members earn XP for taking part in a server, level up over time, and are automatically granted roles at levels the server configures.

Core features include:
- Message-based levelling: members earn XP for sending messages, subject to a per-server cooldown, and level up as their XP accumulates.
- Level roles: roles that are granted automatically when a member reaches a configured level, with a choice of stacking or swapping roles as members climb.
- Leaderboard: a per-server ranking of members by XP.
- Configurable XP: a per-server XP multiplier and cooldown so server owners can tune progression.
- Exclusions: server owners can exclude specific channels or roles from earning XP.
- Level-up notifications: a configurable channel and type for level-up messages.
- Whitelabel branding: premium users can run the bot under their own name and application.

The bot reacts to the fact that a member sent a message; it does not read or store message content.

Privileged gateway intents

Which intents are you applying for?

• Server Members intent

Server Members intent

Why do you need the Guild Members intent?

The bot requires the Server Members intent to operate its core functionality:

1. Resolving member roles to enforce ignored-role rules. Before awarding XP for a message, the bot checks the author's roles against a server-defined ignore list and skips members who hold an ignored role.
2. Assigning and removing level roles on level-up. When a member reaches a configured level, the bot grants the matching role and, in single-role mode, removes the previous level role. This requires knowing the member's current roles.
3. Enforcing command permissions. Administrative commands are gated on Manage Server or Administrator, which is checked against the member running the command.
4. Recording members when they join, so a member's levelling profile is ready from their first message.

The bot does not use the Message Content intent and does not read or store message content. It only needs to know that a member was active, not what they wrote.

Without this intent, the bot cannot resolve member roles and permissions, which are fundamental to every operation.
