  <Card title="Use an alt account!" icon="square-1" color="#FF0000">
    Use an account that is in **NO** Servers to own the bot. Make sure the alt account is **NOT IN YOUR OWN SERVER** too.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Do NOT give the bot Administrator" icon="square-2" color="#FFA500">
    The bot should **NOT HAVE ADMIN**. Please do NOT give it a "Bots" role or anything like that. This increases the chance of problems if your server ever gets false reported.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Use an appropriate bot name." icon="square-3" color="#25CE7A">
    Use a name that **doesn't break Discord's TOS.** Make sure it doesn't exactly match your server name. Do not impersonate other bots.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Add the bot to a team." icon="square-4" color="#FDDA0D">
    Add your bot to a team through the [Discord Developer Application](https://discord.com/developers/teams) using [this tutorial](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/teams#transferring-an-app). Doing this will allow you to have access to the bot even if you lose access to your account.
