New features that could(and should) be added to discord!

So I am going to list some features, explain them and why I personally think they would benefit discord!

Show all games in your game libary on your profile.

This would be how people have their socials, underneath that part it could say "Games", then for each game in the libary it would show, users could turn this on/off for each game or completely. Also when someone clicks that game it brings them to the games store.

2. Built in bots, for new users to discord.

What I mean by this, is to add a "build a bot" feature in the server, then you can do a event listener, where the user can select a certain event(ex: member join), and on the event a bot can do something(ex: post a message in a channel). This would require no code at all, and it would still be a custom bot, it would be helpful to people who are knew to discord or don't know how to code but want a custom bot.

3. Server "themes".

This would be similar to reddits themes, each server could have a them, and it could change certain colors(ex: channels names could be blue!), or the fonts of some messages(ex: change fonts of the messages in channel "general" to look different then channel "bot-commands"). This could also mean changing the background of a server(Maybe a level 3 server boosted perk, while the rest is level 1/2)! Users could also turn this on/off if they please, this theme can't do anything but change how the server looks.

4. Custom themes.

This is not a original idea at all, but a way of implementing this could be fairly simple. Each user could change the colors of the background, peoples names, servers names and some others. Nitro classic could upload a custom background and nitro premium could upload a gif background! Also to make this more simple, you could set everything and click "download theme", which would download a file like discord-theme.discordtheme(it would be a custom file exstenstion), and you could share this, then after being shared you could apply it to your theme! Also with server themes, I feel as they should override a custom them(ex: server background > custom background, server font > custom font), but when they turn the server theme off they get their custom theme. Custom themes could also include changing the fonts and more.

5. Badges everywhere.

This is simple. Badges could be next to your name in chat, or in the member side list. I feel there should be a option under "appearences" to enable/disable this.

6. A simple advertising system(NOTE: Please read this one out, and it's still iffy on my side of things).

There could be another requirement(ex: 100 members), if you hit this requirement you could apply to be elidgeable to promote your server. If your server gets accepted you can pay X amount of dollars to advertise your server. Now the question remains, where would we see this advertisement? It's simple. go to server discovery, you would see a "card" like all the other servers, but this would have a green little tab that says "advertisement". You only get one of them per hour or so(So you can't refresh and waste peoples money!), but this would be a subtle way of putting advertisements in that no one would complain about a lot, and it could add extra revenue to discord.

7. Whiteboards for people to use.

This could go 2 ways, I feel both of them are good.

Option 1 could be, where in chat you could make a "whiteboard", if its in dms both users have access to draw on it, if its in a server people could "request" to draw on it and the owner of the whitebord would allow(also, server moderators could disable the permission for users to use a whiteboard, and they would have permission to draw on it auotmaticly incase something gets drawn which isn't good.), this whiteboard could be easy to manage, and you could download it, and you would get a file like "whiteboard.discordwhiteboard", then it would also be easy to upload a whiteboard, and if the file is ".discordwhiteboard" you can easily edit it again.

Option 2 could be, in stage channels speakers could make a whiteboard, all speakers would have permission to draw on it, and listeners could not draw on it.

Either of these options would be neat, I would like them both imo.

8. A "broadcast" channel.

This would be a channel, where one user could broadcast their screen or app. I feel prebroadcast you could set it up, and connect obs or something similar. This would be a dedicated streaming channel, but each broadcast would also have a "chat" that goes with it, and only one person can speak/broadcast at a time! Another cool thing would be making broadcasts public, where you can see all broadcasts like you can do with stage channels! It would be a great option to make people connect better.

9. SFW only channel(or age cap channel).

This would be the opposite of a NSFW channel, where only people under 18 could view it. To explain why this would be a helpful feature is simple. Say you got a group of teenagers that want to goof around, wouldn't it be weird if some adult joined? Or read their convos. I think it could help with a lot of SFW(under 18) discord servers. Also built into the channel would be a cuss word filter, meaning if discord detects a cussword in your message you can't post it.

10. Public server templates.

This idea could be pretty neat, but when clicking on "create a server" you could click another button, which would show all server templates. To go along my other ideas, in these server templates would be the server theme, and built in bots for the server, also on click you could "preview" the server, by seeing the roles, the theme, any built in bots and some other features, if you decide you like it you can create the server! Also templates could have descriptions so its easier to find a template that you want.

Really like the first one, not even adding all games in your library but also adding gaming platform like Playstation, we already have Xbox for Xbox users but we don't have playstation, (ik that many people will say that we have a kind of connection for PlayStation that allows u to connect with discord but it is time consuming and also u have to open that application on your laptop to able to display on your profile)

also like the 3rd one coz if there could be servers templates then it also make it interesting and also time consuming on discord XD (that might help discord to have people stay in there app longer)
