Custom Status Moderation
Quite clearly features like this have been requested a ton over the past few days, but here's a list of my suggestions.
Two days ago Discord rolled out the new Custom Status feature, this feature can be useful for letting people know what you're doing, with some added personality with the emote slot. However, there are those few people who'd prefer using the new feature as a means to break the rules, more than to actually use it as intended.
Though I can't speak for others, I do help moderate a relatively big Discord server sitting currently at around ~260k users, and the amount of people using the new Custom Status feature as a means to evade / break the rules has been quite extensive. As a Verified server we have pretty strict rules when it comes to inappropriate and offensive content.. And with the release of the new Custom Status update it's been quite hard to always keep an eye on every user currently active in chats.
Per-Server Custom Status
Though this wont do much when it comes to the people actively using the Custom Statuses to break the rules of servers, it will lessen the chance of one user changing their Status in one server as a joke, only to get banned from another server they were in where it was also visible. Why not have it work like a nickname, only have it be visible in the server of which you set it in the first place.
Blacklist
I am not aware if there are any sorts of support regarding API for the new Custom Status feature, but it doesn't seem like it.
If Discord were to roll out a feature where servers could Blacklist / Monitor certain Custom Statuses containing various slurs / links / inappropriate content either through the use of the API, or as another Server Setting. This feature, I feel, would work quite well with the above suggestion of a Per-Server Custom Status as this Blacklist could simply deny the user from applying said inappropriate Status in the first place for that specific server.
Blacklist could be located in Server Settings --> "Status Blacklist". In this panel you would be able to add words similarly to how you add emotes, just with words.
Role Permission
Having the ability to manually turn off the Custom Status for a certain group of people through a role setting would also be a welcome change. This could be done through a role setting dubbed "Show Status" or something similar. This would as you'd assume make it so that anyone without a role that grants permission to Show Status would be unable to show their Custom Status in the server. This fuction could be turned completely off for everyone but Staff, and other trusted users depending on the server.
"Manage Custom Status" permission for staff
The permission would do as you'd assume, it would grant anyone with that permission active the ability to turn off / hide the status of any member in the server through a simple toggle, similarly to the Ban / Kick buttons when right clicking a users name. Of course this could be implemented differently, but this is in my mind is what would be the simplest, and easiest solution. This could be a feature working with the Blacklist function above. There are, and always will be certain people that actively try to evade filters by using custom fonts.
Remove the ability to add links
As far as I've seen, the only people using the Custom Status to share links are A) Sharing phising links B) Sharing server invites C) Linking inappropriate content. All of which is unwanted content for most big / mid sized servers.
Feedback is welcome. I'm speaking strictly from my own experience, and I can't talk for everyone. Every voice shared is a win for us all using Discord as a platform.

We have recently run into this problem as well. We do not wish to outright ban people, but an option to disable certain ranks from displaying statuses would be nice.

Any updates to the status of implementing this type of feature? Is it a possibility for discord servers admin/mods could have ability for this to be role based or filter inappropriate content that is displayed in the custom status? Members could still have custom status but enforce filtering would be nice. Maybe put **** s that would blank out the inappropriate words, links, or spam that's posted?
Just a checkbox like below for custom status: General/family friendly, PG/PG-13, or None/Unrestricted to be displayed for **** filtering of words/ect.

@chunked_element has a good idea, but I would also add separate box below for filtering out URLs

Custom statuses are less moderated than nicknames. That's unacceptable. If someone has an inappropriate nickname, you can change it. If someone has an inappropriate status, you can't do anything about it. Even just a permission for allowing custom statuses would go a long way until something more solid is put into place.

This suggestion would be amazing for server moderation... It would also be handy for this to be a setting a user can toggle to hide their custom status messages from specific servers of their choice.
I opened up my own suggestion for a similar thing. I would like to see moderation of rich presence as well available to server admins or even a setting if a permission setting is not ideal. This way dank music or other rich presence status's like "Now playing doom" and stuff can be hidden from specific servers by the user or enforced by the administrators
I did not think my suggestion would fit in here as it's a much wider scope so I will mention my idea of also affecting rich presence by similar moderation and link to that suggestion (I linked to this one in that suggestion as well)

Kind of ridiculous this isn’t implemented already. We can do better Discord..

This would be great, there was someone with a curse word and the message it's self was adult content. I just added that custom status have to go by the same rules in my rules channel. The rules channel has a reaction role, but some may not read the rules and there is no bot or anything to stop them from breaking the rules in the custom status.

Apparently Discord DOES NOT CARE RATS ASS ABOUT BLACK LIVES MATTER!
Right now there is absolutely NOTHING stopping people putting things like "George Floyd = Pink Floyd" or whatnot into their CUSTOM STATUSES, that we the server owners/moderators have NO CONTROL OVER.
There they are. Clearly visible to anyone. Anything you want to put there. No toggles to hide it / disable it per server etc.
GG Discord, well played.
Freedom of speech (or custom statuses) is great and important, but if it's "my server", I should a) have the right to choose who should have the right exercise that right in there and/or b) have the right imbue some consequences for using the freedom of speech. It does not, and should not, equate into "a free pass for anything", mind you.-4 -
Bro, just because there is no feature to disable it before a set event happened, does not mean they are against it... Chill out
The point of this feature is nothing to do with BLM, it is meant for server administrators to moderate content, not supress free speach.

for server discord links, you dont need the full https://discord.gg/(code) all you need is the code after the /
easy way to get around it if they ever do add this, if they allready seen this they would. for now im keeping my links in my status and theres nothing a discord server can do to force me but by kicking/banning me (witch wouldnt be right, right? wouldnt want to amke your discord scared of having their links in their status, links are a way to get noticed, discord are for people to come into, have fun and enjoy. so no, they shouldnt add somthing to disable links, again, there are ways to bypass that, witch discord may look into. also whats so "custom" if they add these features to discord? it would then be "limited to what you can put" status or "no links" status. i agree with the per status for discords, but links? that just takes the custom away from us-1 -
Up ! There is still no way to moderate it... It's not only for ban-words but it's also so annoying having many people that have rolling status on your second screen as it encourages you to eye-check each time it changes...
As mentioned in the first post, a switch in role permissions "show custom status" would be the easiest and most efficient way to counter it IMO.0
