Discord Update

The problem is, reports are more of an incident handling/management tool as opposed to an immediate response tool. In just about any other Discord I'm in, most of them having fewer members than the Dink discord, I'm able to see someone break a rule, ping a mod role, and in at most two minutes, have the user dealt with. Being able to ping a mod is something regular users are able to do in 7/9 public Discords I'm a part of, with that fraction including this server. It's simple, it's a colloquial standard for users to deal with rulebreakers, and it requires no fiddling around with a tree of bot commands or enabling some feature a regular user has probably never heard of before to use.

I'm sorry to get worked up over this, but seriously, what is the problem with just having the damn role pingable?! We have a pingable staff role for all servers, and all admin roles are pingable,  but we seriously can't use the Discord integrated feature to ping the DEDICATED Discord moderation team if someone breaks a rule? What could the consequences possibly be for allowing this that outweigh the ability to use the fundamental user feature of calling over a moderator? Is the ability to summon someone with channel perms to delete the literal pornography some dickhead just posted in a timely manner really too much to ask?

Again, I'm sorry to get worked up, but please understand my frustration. To be blunt, it just doesn't make any sense why we would go through the trouble to implement a multi-step report system that people are probably either going to be too dumb or too bothered to actually use instead of just ticking the "Allow anyone to @mention this role" option under the Discord Moderator role. Reports are neat, but why?

I've seen the other side of things where in larger scale discords, it's easier for users to contact staff that can handle issues via a report when it's something more serious than just pinging a staff/dming someone and hoping for a response (especially for things like harassment cases and targeting).  Im not saying users can't dm staff/admins for issues, but this provides another tool for members to use when they can't get ahold of someone or don't know who to contact regarding a discord specific issue.
As for the pingable discord moderator thing, one thing I forgot to mention in the post (which I can go and update) is having a Discord Moderator On Call Staff Role or similar name like we do the other servers.  This is something that needs to be discussed between the current Discord Mods and Admins but something I could see being implemented too.
