Nonlinear Roles

The linear system for roles is great when it comes to servers with one single goal, but even a small variation from this one task can make managing roles on the server a nightmare. I propose a roles tree, multiple hierarchies, or best of all a roles flowchart. Priority could still go left to right, and top down, or even allow this to be set server to server. Rather than being displayed as a list, this flow chart could allow each node (role) to not only be linked with different types of relational links to other nodes, but also have descriptions built in to their identity. Rather than a list on someone's profile, it could be a graphic, and possibly later, an interactive graphic. This could be a similar pop up to mutual server or mutual friends to save space on mobile, and a preview could be made that would only show the roles deemed most important, so as to aid loading times and latency when dealing with these new roles forms.

This would be a large change, but it is the kind of revamp that would take Discord to an unbelievably new amazing level in its usability. I hope this makes its way to someone who can provide a more comprehensive proposal for this idea, because it is one Discord truly needs.
