User Identification settings

Different ways to customize user appearance

Usernames can have multiple different ways of appearance across Discord. Nicknames, Usernames, and Tags are the most prominent and you can choose to select those as an Identification setting.

Chat Identification

To change your user Identification setting, you can use the /manage settings Identification command.

Tag setting

This setting is the only setting that doesn't prevent users from seeing user tags. These tags allow mostly for pinging across servers by using TagPings

MessageLogs allows another way for moderators to access User IDs for moderation
