Quota-Based Moderator System Proposal
Im planning to implement a major update to how moderation actions work in our community and I do like your input on the setup.
Currently,moderator roles are placed below regular rank holders and are not visually separated. This is intentional, I want staff to feel integrated with the community rather than positioned above it.
This structure creates a technical limitation. Discordโs permission system prevents moderators with lower roles from taking action against higher ranked members. To work around this, I introduced a top-level role to artificially elevate staff permissions. While functional, this approach creates inconsistencies and undermines my goal of distributing authority since all staff effectively end up with the same level of power.
To address these issues, Im working on a new system using custom commands.
The first component is a whitelist command which will allow specific staff members and selected patron roles to bypass certain moderation restrictions. These commands wonโt rely on standard Discord permissions. Instead, they will operate on a quota-based system to prevent abuse and enforce controlled usage.
With this approach, moderators wonโt require elevated role permissions, reducing risk. It also ensures that anti-nuke systems remain effective, since actions will be regulated through controlled command usage rather than unrestricted role-based authority.
Will placing the mod roles above the member role then turning off Diplay role members separately not work for you case?
Another thing would be allowing their mod role to have access to moderator actions like with Wick.
w!ban w!mute etc
100% will work and im considering that as last option
Cause cc is very flexible i can do anything with it
Changing style of embed
New type of moderation action
Quota system and much more
Wick doesn't support mute role
It have quarantine system, i used it a lot
But then i created saparate roles for anti nuke system, unverified membeds, and mute role
Quarantine have a bug like if you quarantine someone and then edit their roles and unquarantine back
It will not recover roles
In my server members get roles based on their live activity like @streaming @listening for spotify activity and all
What if a staff and a member have same color role?
If i drag staff role above i need to make their color static or reset its color which will ruin the theme so yea
Thats why

Already readed this before
Maybe make the role above them transparent? Like this
I have expored every option already even used these all too
Now I'm moving to cc for flexiblity and security
Like im completely avoiding traditional discord moderation system (which i should not) but yea
Whole moderation will be dependent on our open source bot
Maybe we will use hybrid model as for "just in case" scenario if bot goes down but yea i need customized moderation actions
What are u trying to do exactly? Whitelist mod roles or auto member roles?
