1, Personally, I dont see the point in this. If you ban an email block, they 
will just find another 1. for example, you cant ban *.hotmail.com on a 
network, so the "stupid kiddies" will just use something like that. Just 
insert a largish reg delay, it would mean they would have to change their 
IP, or wait for something like 60mins before being able to register again.

2) Once again, i dont see a point for this feature. It would make channels 
prone to opwars, and takeovers. although the SUSPEND command does do what 
you ask, but i am unsure if it supports wildcards.
