Custom Status Abuse needs addressing!

There's a longer post about the topic here:
https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360054630171-Custom-Status-Moderation

But in short: Custom Statuses are being abused. Autism-bashing, gayphobia, links to phishing or nsfw material, invites, you name it...
...Many things that server rules may forbid, are being slapped into Custom Statuses because it's very, very hard to monitor.

Because people are like that! They were given a way to effectively circument ALL rules, and nobody thought they about take full advantage of this feature? Really?

Chad said something you didn't like? Quick, you and six friends put "Chad is Gay" into your custom status! Keep it there just enough so Chad sees it, and remove it. No evidence is left behind (unless Chad thought of / managed to snap a screenshot), niiice!

Who ever thought that this kind of feature was necessary? Or that it should be given to ppl without any tools for server admins/moderators to handle the feature?

= We need a setting to toggle Custom Statuses off, ASAP!
This may be per-server, or per-role, but one way or another it needs to happen ... preferredly BEFORE custom statuses were launched, if would've been smart about it. =P
