Allow server admins to hide/moderate custom status

I'm the owner and sole admin of a small, but growing, server for my new company. Now that people who I don't personally know are joining, I'm already starting to see some issues regarding inappropriate custom statuses, people using custom statuses to bypass the server rules/community guidelines, and so on.

Of course, I hit up Google to find a way to disable, change, or otherwise moderate the custom statuses of the members of my server. Instead of finding a solution, I found about a dozen posts requesting a number of features related to this a couple years ago, around the launch of custom statuses. To my knowledge, nothing of the sort has been implemented yet, so I'm making a fresh post to call attention to it once again.

Server admins and moderators need the ability to moderate custom statuses. Even just the ability to hide custom statuses on the server would be helpful. I'm already starting to see issues in my own server that I have to discuss with the members in question, and it's only going to be more cumbersome as my server grows. I'm not able to keep watch 24/7 to ensure my community members are safe from offensive or inappropriate statuses, which currently bypass all server rules and even Discord's TOS.

Echoing this as a librarian trying to run a server for local teenagers! It's unreasonable to ask people to make sure that their status is appropriate for every single server, and it's unreasonable to expect moderators and admins to make sure that custom statuses are always appropriate for their specific server.

We've had requests for something similar in Feedback every few months or so since custom statuses were implemented. With discord promoting itself as a great place for classrooms and youth groups to meet, it's increasingly frustrating that servers don't have the option to just hide statuses like we can set nicknames.
