More server notification settings (NEED MORE OPTIONS)

I'm typing this post to voice a complaint that many moderators, admins, community leaders, and tournament organizers of multiple servers have regarding server notification settings.

Primarily, this complaint revolves around the red "1" notification you see on a server.

The desired settings result is:

Not to receive a red 1 or sound notification for "everyone" and "here"

Not to receive a red 1 or sound notification for any new messages on the server

Not to receive a red 1 or sound notification for any new events added on the server

Not to receive a red 1 or sound notification for any "@s" of your name including replies

Only receive a red 1 notification for ROLE MENTIONS (no sound)

The options we only have are:

No sound, red 1 notification for direct name "@"

No sound, red 1 notification for direct reply with "@" toggled ON

No sound, red 1 notification for direct role "@"

ALSO, when you "reply" to a user or a user "replies" to you WITHOUT ping on, it is not moved to MENTIONS. It should still show up as a "reply" somewhere! Otherwise the reply thread is completely lost. To me it logically makes sense that it should still be seen somewhere without notification or ping sound!

WE NEED THE OPTION TO RECEIVE ONLY @ ROLE NOTIFICATIONS (NO SOUND)!

Consider the following example: If a user with a moderator role on a server selects "suppress all roles and mentions" as a moderator then they will not receive a sound or a red 1 for any pings at all! There needs to be more options. Having no sound is already easy to configure, but why do we still have to get constant red numbers piling up when you don't want to see replies or direct ping "@"s? People often "@" a moderator name DIRECTLY instead of the role.

We want to ignore the direct "@" name mention at all costs, including replies, and only receive notification of the ROLE ping.

IT BOILS DOWN TO THIS:

Add the option to suppress specific server role notifications (no red 1)

Add the option to suppress all pinged reply notifications (no red 1)

Add the option to suppress all @"username" notifications (no red 1)

ALSO Please consider adding the feature of the way direct replies with "ping off" are received, such as placing them into the inbox under MENTIONs - or make another space for it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

This is of vital importance to me and many others.
Anyone with a sizable community unfortunately needs to stay on do not disturb mode to stay sane.

But this presents us with a HUGE and terrible problem - we can't get notified when we are ACTUALLY needed. Users have no respect for owners of communities and will ping without hesitation with the most ridiculous of reasons, expecting an immediate answer.(And 9 times out of 10, a staff member would have been able to solve it quickly rather than me getting pinged for it)

I rely on that little red icon to know when I'm needed for something actually important

It makes it impossible to have a level of staff being able to reach me easier, as well as irl friends. Which is really difficult for me as a game dev. The only solution at the moment, is to have a separate account where staff can reach me. Which is a really poor solution.

It's not just me, just ask any youtuber, game dev, etc. They all have to stay in a perpetual state of do not disturb, and are unable to rely on pings for emergencies.
