The only VALORAE Cast invite, and how to check one

discord.gg/valoraecast resolves to one server, named VALORAE Cast, and the invite carries no expiry date. I checked that against Discord's own invite endpoint, discord.com/api/v10/invites/valoraecast, on 2026-09-25.

That is the only invite we own.

Nothing else counts.

Any other link carrying the VALORAE name, on any platform, in any DM, is not ours.

And I want to be honest about why this post exists. When I set the custom link I read Discord's Custom Invite Link help article, and it says any server at Boost Level 3 can claim any unused string of up to 25 lowercase letters, numbers or dashes.

So valorae-cast, valoraecasts and valoraecast-official are all open for anyone to register tomorrow. Nothing inside Discord stops that, and I did not know if a checklist would be enough to protect people from it.

Here is the checklist anyway.

Check 1: The one invite

The address is discord.gg/valoraecast and it redirects to discord.com/invite/valoraecast.

Both spellings are the same invite code.

Discord's Invites 101 article, read on 2026-09-25, says a fresh invite defaults to seven days of access and can be edited to never expire.

Ours is a custom link, which Discord's Custom Invite Link article describes as permanent for as long as the server keeps its Boost status.

Then there is the flip side, from the same article: setting a custom link makes the server public, so anyone holding the string can join. That is a feature for a community and a gift for a copycat.

But a copycat cannot take the exact string. Discord's article says a taken URL returns an error, so as long as we hold the boost, valoraecast points at us and nobody else.

Check 2: Read the address before you tap

Ignore the server icon.

Icons, banners and names cost nothing to copy, and a screenshot of ours is one right-click away. The one thing a lookalike cannot copy is the string after discord.gg/, so that is where the check has to happen.

Read it character by character.

Every time.

One extra letter, a dash, or an "official" on the end means it is not us, and Discord's Custom Invite Link rules (lowercase letters, numbers, dashes) make every one of those variants a valid, claimable address.

Discord's own account safety guide, last updated May 11, 2022, tells you not to click links that look shortened or altered. A shortener or a redirect page that eventually lands on Discord is a link I would not open, even if the destination turned out to be us.

Check 3: What the preview must say

Tap a real invite and Discord shows you the server name before you join.

That name has to read VALORAE Cast, in that spelling, which is what the invite endpoint returned to me on 2026-09-25.

The same endpoint reports a verification level of 3, which Discord's Verification Levels article labels High: a verified email, an account older than five minutes, and ten minutes inside the server before you can type.

So if you land somewhere and can post the second you arrive, you are not in our server. A copycat rarely bothers with friction, because friction slows down the exact people they want to reach.

And if the invite page says it has expired, that is a red flag on its own.

Ours does not expire. Ever.

Check 4: The founder's and Arc's profiles to cross-check

Every public profile we run links back to the same handful of places, and none of them will ever list a second Discord invite.

The founder is Siddharth Khushalani: tgsidd.com, instagram.com/tgsiddh, youtube.com/@TGSIDD7 and linkedin.com/in/tgsidd.

The agency side is VALORAE Arc at valoraearc.com, with x.com/VALORAEARC, youtube.com/@ValoraeArc and linkedin.com/company/valoraearc.

The group home is valoraehq.com.

If a DM points you to a VALORAE account that none of those pages link to, the DM is the problem, not your memory.

Cross-checking works in one direction only. A scam profile can link to our real pages to borrow trust, but our real pages will never link back to theirs.

Check 5: What we will never ask for in a DM

We will never DM you an invite first.

You find the link on valoraecast.com or on one of the profiles above. Then you come to us.

We will never ask for your Discord password, a login code, a token, or a "verification" login through a link.

Discord's safety guide says it "will never ask you for your password" by email or by direct message, and neither will anyone speaking for us.

We will never ask you to pay a person to get in. The paid Elite tier exists and is priced on the site in your own currency, and it is bought on the site, never by sending money to someone in a DM.

And campaign pay runs the other way: Cast pays starting from $0.80 per 1,000 views on campaign clips, which is covered in what to lock before your first campaign. If someone using our name wants money from you to release a payout, stop. Close the DM.

I will admit the weak spot here.

I did not know if it would work, because a rule that lives in a blog post is only as strong as the person who remembers it halfway through a DM. So the recap at the bottom is short enough to remember.

Check 6: Reporting a lookalike through Discord

Discord's reporting guide in its Safety Library, updated January 22, 2026, gives two routes that matter here.

Right-click a message (hold it on mobile), choose Report Message and pick the violation. Or open the profile's three-dot menu and choose Report User Profile.

For the web form, the same Discord guide says you need a Message Link, copied from that same right-click menu with Copy Message Link, before you paste it in.

Then tell us. Post the lookalike in the real server, or reach the founder on any profile in Check 4, and we will file a report from our side as the impersonated party.

One caution from the same Discord guide: do not mass-report or ask a group to report the same thing, because Discord says that itself breaks its rules. One clean report with the link beats a pile of angry ones.

That closes the risk I opened with.

We cannot stop someone registering valorae-cast, but a string check, a name check, a verification check and a profile check catch it before you join, and one report removes it after.

The short version

• Join only through discord.gg/valoraecast, typed or copied from valoraecast.com.
• Read the string after discord.gg/ character by character.
• Confirm the preview says VALORAE Cast and that you cannot post the second you land.
• Check any VALORAE account against tgsidd.com and valoraearc.com before trusting it.
• Never send a password, code, token or payment to anyone in a DM.
• Report a lookalike with Report Message or Report User Profile, then tell us.

This is the community we run at valoraecast.com.
