Verification

Verification tells the rest of the bot whether a Discord member really is the Torn player they say they are. Other modules rely on it: only a verified member can join a chain, start or join a lotto, or pay for credits.

It’s always on and free.

How it works for a member

1. They join the server, or run /verify.
2. The bot asks Torn who owns their Discord account. Torn knows once the player has linked Discord on Torn’s side.
3. If Torn knows them, they’re verified straight away. They get the verified role, a nickname in your format if you set one, and a short card in the verification channel.
4. If Torn doesn’t know them, the bot shows how to link their account, with a button to check again afterwards.

The bot never asks a member for a password or a key to verify them.

What it keeps correct

Once a day the bot goes through everyone it knows:

• A member whose role went missing gets it back.
• A member who unlinked on Torn loses the role.
• A pending member who has linked since is verified.
• Members who left are cleaned up, and their pending ping is removed from the verification channel.

Settings

Step	Required	What it does
Verification channel	Yes	Where the join ping and member cards are posted. Saving it also limits the module’s commands to that channel, so /verify only works there.
Verified role	Yes	The role a member gets once Torn confirms them.
Guest role	No	A role for verified members who aren’t in your faction. It’s taken away if they join.
Nicknames	No	A format for verified members’ nicknames. Off by default.

Caution

The bot’s role must sit above the verified role in the server’s role list, because Discord doesn’t let a bot give a role higher than its own. If the role isn’t given, the bot says so in the verification channel.

Nickname formats

Format	Example
Name	Chedburn
Name [ID]	Chedburn [1]
Name [Faction tag]	Chedburn [TAG]
Name [ID] [Faction tag]	Chedburn [1] [TAG]

Torn names appear in this format on every screen of the bot. Names are cut to Discord’s 32-character limit.

For admins

/members lists the members the bot knows and opens one member’s details. Panels covers it, including Verify all.
