Better Built-in Moderation

Look, I realise this will undermine some functionality of some bots out there that are specifically made for moderation, but I think Discord really needs better native moderation. It's half-way there. It should be simple, putting a time-out on a specific user without having to faff around with the roles (the permissions warrant a pretty wordy guide to the uninitiated) or type in a command.

Doing this would benefit layman users who have no time or interest in fiddling around countless bots just to find a good medium. I'm not layman in this case, but finding responsible, non-hot-headed moderators (many who have no interest in the bots) for my server is extremely difficult on account of the amount of information I have to give them about how to do this, that and the other. The responsibility is enough of a turn-off for them without the bulk of FYIs that have to go with it. Bots are indeed helpful, but using them as entire moderation suites is clunky.

We have a voice mute already. Add some timers into it, add more capability such as type-muting to cover text channels as well—maybe just give us the option to tell a server how its mute works. Clicking on somebody's name and then ticking/unticking a box is much better flow than having to remember a command on a per-server basis, and then typing it out properly.

Discord is expanding rapidly to more than just gamers, and it's bringing in a lot of people who don't know or care about bots. They just want native usability, and currently, moderating is a bit of a chore whichever way you go about it. I think it should be careful not to be too reliant on user-made bots, but, currently, moderating without a bot isn't really good, hence the abundance of bots.
