MEE6 is essentially the 'manager' of the Discord world. If your kid is running a server for their friend group or a school club, this bot is almost a requirement to keep things from devolving into chaos. It’s effective, professional, and relatively easy to set up.
The real friction point for parents isn't the safety—which the bot actually improves—but the gamification of social interaction. By turning 'number of messages sent' into a status symbol, it can make Discord feel less like a chat room and more like a game they have to 'win.' If you see them obsessing over their server rank, it might be time to talk about why the bot is designed to keep them typing.
