[IRCServices] Chanserv forbid..

[Craig McLure]

I have to agree, some of us oldies dont use reasons, and some channels may need them.. 'reason' would have to be an optional parameter :)

>it would be great if such a 'reason' parameter was optional, and filled with a null value if not specified. This way users can continue to use the old style of the command if they wish to, without having to memorize a new way of issuing the command, and people who want to specify reasons can.
