gollark: Oh, and have it manage channel perms and overrides in a sane way too.
gollark: It might be good to just distribute/control roles through pyrobot somehow. Disable people's manual editing powers, group roles into cosmetic/individual person's/channel access/staff powers, and have commands for managing ones in each category.
gollark: Discord's permissions model is so very weird.
gollark: Idea: hide "administrator" in one of the color roles and see how long it is until someone notices.
gollark: Apparently I don't have the power to edit *my* roles, or anyone else's, it must be one of the weird roles providing that.
