Aren't selfbots banned from discord?

[Wist9063]

Selfbot Use on Discord Selfbots (aka self bots, self-bots) are bot code that runs under a user account and only respond with commands to the user account it's run on. Selfbots do not react to others in any way. Selfbots are, and always have been, against the Discord API terms of use and by extension, the Discord Terms of Service, since Bot accounts were created. This position has not changed. Source: Automating normal user accounts (generally called "self-bots") outside of the OAuth2/bot API is forbidden, and can result in an account termination if found. https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2 Discord's enforcement of the selfbot policy has not changed either in the last year. If you decide to use a selfbot you do so at your own risk of getting your account banned from the API and Discord. API restrictions on selfbots are tight, any sort of abuse will be immediately dealt with. Note: Userbots (aka user bots, user-bots) which spam, respond to others, react to others, welcome users, etc, are dealt with swiftly and immediately. You can report userbots to abuse@discordapp.com.

Just a head's up because of the new TOS change. This was also form DDevs server.

They're a gray area.

TL;DR

Selfbots are banned. If you get reported by someone for using a selfbot, you will more than likely get your account permanently disabled. If you use a selfbot in front of the Discord staff, you will more than likely get your account permanently disabled. If you do stupid things that spam the API, you will more than likely get your account permanently disabled.

Use this selfbot at your own risk, I am not responsible for whatever happens to your account.

FINAL EDIT: I no longer use SharpBot myself. I may continue to maintain it, as time permits, but I am not going to risk my entire community just to use a cool little toy I made. I admit, Discord's handling of this situation has been imperfect, but there's not much that can be done about that. Additionally, that was in the past, and I'm not going to indefinitely hold an entire company to a handful of problems.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure evie.codes no longer uses her selfbot, but that makes no difference to my point. The Discord staff's handling of this entire selfbot situation has been unprofessional to say the least. They killed off one of the most incredible features of Discord, and then let one of their "favorite" members still use it. And while they were in the process of banning selfbots, before they officially banned them (remember when nobody knew whether they were banned or not? That was fun!), @yonilerner asked them for an official statement on whether they were banned or not and they told him to f off. They've acted immature and unprofessional throughout this entire situation, and I am more than likely to continue using a selfbot indefinitely. As long as the Discord devs show favoritism and let [evie.codes](https://github.com/eslachance) use a selfbot *in front of them* ("because we trust her"), I'm going to use one too. I could rant for hours on how unprofessional that is, but I will save you the headache. They're a rather dark gray area, but Discord doesn't actively go around on witch hunts to ban users they suspect are using selfbots. Don't do stupid things, don't mass-DM, don't change your game every 2 seconds, and don't try to be evil. Follow those simple rules, and you're pretty much good. The people who get banned for using selfbots are usually the ones who use them in front of Discord staff, or do something malicious/spammy with them.
