[IRCServices] Suspended Channels

[&quot]

If I'm not mistaken, forbid totally drops the channel and the access list.  So there is a big difference there.  Suspend would be used where you want to punish the people in the channel, but where you also want to be able to restore the channel down the road.

Well, as FORBID totally disallows a channel from being used or registered, you'd ideally want something inbetween standard operation and FORBID.

This would be a good thing to have, allows flexibility.

I'm not too sure on this one, prevent changes from being made is a good one again, but if you go to all this trouble of suspending a chan, why not simply FORBID it?

Now that would be a nice idea :c)

> Should this be a level-based or flag-based system?
Personally, I'd go for level-based...

E.g. Lev 1 - Chan Operates as normal except users on access list
which are given +o normally only get +v (or something) ...
Then go Lev 4 - Users can join chan, but access list is ignored, no settings can be changed etc...

Just my thoughts on it :c)
