A user ID is a string of numbers that is unique to a Discord account. Unlike usernames, the user ID cannot be changed, which is useful for various purposes, such as locating a user (even if they have changed their username to avoid detection) and executing commands for a user who has left the server. A great place to use IDs is the search bar, located at the top of the page. To access user IDs, it is recommended that you enable , but MoonlightBot also displays user IDs next to usernames in command outputs
