Separate 'Manage Messages' into 'Pin Messages' and 'Delete Messages'
We just had someone abuse the fact they needed to pin messages to delete actual evidence regarding a transaction :\ We should be able to allow pinning messages without allowing them to do something potentially damaging.
Pinning is transient and not very exploitable, deleting is extremely harmful by comparison as you can't get them back.

Update: An early version is ready to test.
This is not meant as a self-promo.. but I created a private proof-of-concept bot that anyone is free to look at or use. I'm debating on turning it into a full-fledged bot, but I really thought Discord would update this by now. Essentially, it allows people to use the :pushpin: reaction on a message and then the bot will pin it for them. Likewise, removing it will remove the pin. Role/Channel specific permissions (who can pin in what channels), a PinBoard, etc are all ideas that I'm going to be putting in the next few days. I will set this up to host for people if there is enough interest. Cheers.
PS: there is no documentation or anything yet. If you want to see a demo, you'll have to catch me working on it on Twitch for now (rick_u).

How has this still not been done?!

It's been three years. How much longer must we wait for this to be implemented?

I was just about to ask for this separation! Please Discord, these are very different functions and shouldnt be lumped together!

I'm back.. I have a very basic version of "PinBot" working for anyone that wants to add this to their server. I'm still updating documentation to run this on your own.. but you're free to test this in your server. Hopefully Discord adds this functionality soon.

Wow, I can't believe it's literally been 3 years, and something so simple like this still hasn't been changed. It's still funny thinking about how "pinning" and "deleting" messages shouldn't even have to be mashed together in one permission. I mainly just avoid pinning altogether throughout Discord now because of the fact that I'm so used to it being stupidly mashed together with the deleting messages permission. Discord, please fix this!

I would also like these two functions/permissions separated

Adding support to this, the ability to pin messages should be entirely separate from the ability to delete messages.

Bump!

Should be the default behavior

Does Discord even reads this posts anymore? This is actually a must, what are they actually waiting for? I do not think this is so hard to implement and is a no brainer

Discord devs used to be pretty good about listening to their userbase. Too bad those days are long gone.

Still hoping this gets added

Bumping this because it bothers me everytime I flip this switch. I want people to have the freedom to pin messages!!
