Role Priority / A Role Hierarchy System

Lxbbyy

Currently, if a user has any role that sets a permission to positive, then they have that permission, regardless of higher roles that set the same permission to negative. This is clearly impractical, and leads to the issue that it is impossible to mute a user in a restricted channel. In servers where all users have a role that allows them general access, and by default new users cannot chat until they are given this role, it becomes impossible to mute anyone, server-wide, as no matter the hierarchy of the mute role, their lower role allows them to chat. Please introduce a solution to this, like a role hierarchy system, so for example the highest role the user has takes priority. This would help out so many servers including the ones I manage.

    Making higher roles actually higher priority than lower roles when it comes to permissions (both positive and negative ones) would make things so much easier in managing servers. This feature would seem like a no-brainer if there's already a role hierarchy in place. Discord, please implement it as soon as possible!
