[IRCServices] Suspended Channels

[&quot]

If I'm not mistaken FORBID is more for a channel that violates your network policy, example would be like a warez channel, which won't be used for a indefinate amount of time. SUSPEND would be more for punitive action taken against a channel founder for maybe spamming your net with mass invites or perhaps a channel that got hacked or taken over. 
  
Having multiple suspention levels is a great idea IMO.

Freezing the chan is all well and good, but in that case, why the use for the FORBID command?  
May as well make FORBID and SUSPEND as one command unless you make the new FORBID command with levels, which you could integrate SUSPEND functionality into.
