I would go with forbidden, with some differences as noted below.

If its forbidden, its makes no difference. But it should not be allowed.

I think this shouldn't be allowed. If the Services Admin thinks the channel should be dropped, he can drop it, but
otherwise let the founder keep the channel, that way, its easier to give it back if the Services Admin wants to, and its
a sort of a punishment since he can now register one less channel.

No. Its a suspended channel :)

Good idea.
