Similar to how people can join the forums using steam, make it so that the Discord can only be joined by signing into steam first.
This would bring various benefits:
How it would work:
Discord provides a API function to "join servers on people's behalf". A previous server I used to administrate used this method and we had great success with it.
If a oauth token is granted `guild.join`, a PUT request can be sent to `/guilds/{guild.id}/members/{user.id}`. Provided the oauth token has permissions for that guild, the user will join that guild. Importantly, the following headers MUST be set: `Authorization: Bot <token>` and `Content-Type: application/json`.
This would bring various benefits:
- No raids
- Keep morons out
- Self admitting cheaters can't get away with their admission of cheating
- If someone pulls a stupid in the Discord, it won't be anonymous anymore
- Possibly have skialbot do a thing so that admins can see what a user's steam account is, and possibly various other things like bringing up a user's sourceban history URL via command for when they ask "why was I banned?"
- Additional click to join the Discord server
- Not idiot proof, may confuse some people (Not really sure if this is a drawback or not, depends on how you view it)
