Clearly Discord as a corporation is not ok with third party clients or modifications to the client.

But the engineers who would be in charge of enforcing those rules do not spend time explicitly seeking out third party clients or modifications. They instead look for "non-standard behavior", which may incidentally catch either.

PS: This is why you don't speak about your employer's business unless asked to by your employer.

Which brings me back to my initial post, despite the (mind you, high level engineer)'s opinion, you should probably stay way clear. Support will just not help you in certain situations, and it's not worth the risk. Was surprised to even see a reply from him, Discord the organization has typically been _very_ clear it's not kosher.

He might not be around too much longer if it's any consolation.
