Option to prioritize sync source?

[Browsit]

We have observed the following scenario for over a year now:

1. New user joins our Discord (has no role), then
2. user creates new website account, verifies email (has post-validation Member group), then
3. when user links Discord, their [lack of] role appears to take priority (website gets downgraded to Unconfirmed Member group)

It seems most users have an opposite workflow, whereas they want Discord to be the deciding source. Still, we'd like to suggest a checkmark in the Group Sync page of Nameless which lets us choose which source should take priority.

There is currently no preferred source, it depends on whatever order syncing happens to be done in. Bidirectional sync is a hard (impossible?) problem to solve if the timestamp of each group change is not known. For example, Nameless-Link does not know that the Member role being present is more "recent" than it not being present, and thus probably preferred.

Previously, Discord groups were only synchronized as roles were added or removed. But that left people unsatisfied that roles weren't synced when a user links their account. I don't know if there is a solution...

@Derkades We were thinking something along the lines of letting administrators select the preferred source themselves. Here's a graphic example with radio buttons where selecting one disables the other(s):

If that's something you think could work, we'd be glad to sponsor your addition of such a feature.

Resolved without the need for specifying source, huge thanks to @Derkades ❤️
