AW: [IRCServices Coding] Mode Merging

[Yusuf Iskenderoglu]

Hello;

just to make a little advertisement about the coming release of
tr-ircd, I'd say, that this problem can as well be solved by 
the ircd itself.

TR-IRCD 5.x series servers introduce a new channelmode, +T,
which is similar to +t, but requires protect (+a) privileges 
for /topic, and can only be set by oper or higher (like +O)

The ircd sets any empty channel +Tn on JOIN, regardless of what
services might then do. So the user will not be able to change
the topic, since they cannot become +a on JOIN.

After the mergechannelmodes time, ChanServ either may +a the user,
or deop them, or set the channel -T, or leave it. In either case
you will have no user who can /topic the way they want. :-)

Best regards;
yusuf
