Controversy
Use of MessageLoggers is very controversial in the community, with multiple client mods such as BetterDiscord and Powercord banning them outright.
Commonly stated reasons are that they "violate user privacy" and "Discord's privacy policy and API terms"[1], with multiple sources claiming usage of loggers poses a risk to your account.
However, there are no documented cases of users getting banned for just using loggers and such plugins still see wide usage across clientmods.
Furthermore, Discord's Developer terms of service only apply to "access to and use of the [Discord] APIs"[2]. Since logger plugins function entirely offline, these terms can't really be applied to them.
