As a member of the Metaguild Discord community, it's essential to ensure your account and interactions within the server remain secure. In this guide, we'll cover some best practices for maintaining security on Discord, specifically for Metaguild members.

  1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security to your Discord account. To enable 2FA, go to 'User Settings' > 'My Account' > 'Enable Two-Factor Auth.' You'll need an authentication app, such as Google Authenticator or Authy, to complete the setup process.
  2. Be Cautious with Direct Messages and Friend Requests: As a Metaguild member, you may receive friend requests and direct messages from other members or unknown users. Exercise caution when accepting friend requests and clicking on links or attachments in direct messages. Scammers and hackers often use these methods to gain access to your account or send phishing links.
  3. Keep Personal Information Private: Protect your privacy by not sharing personal information, such as your real name, address, or contact details, within the Metaguild Discord server or in direct messages. Be mindful of the information you share and how it could be used by others.
  4. Regularly Review Authorized Apps: Periodically review the "Authorized Apps" section in your Discord settings and revoke access from apps and bots you no longer use or trust. Especially pay attention to apps that have access to unnecessary information, such as your email address. Revoking access helps prevent unauthorized surveillance and maintains your privacy.

By following these security best practices, you can help maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for yourself and other Metaguild Discord members.
