ok, I'm gunna be different :). I believe that a suspended channel should be
mlock'd +tns
and chanserv "ignore" commands issued by chanops, or at least set secure on
and have chanserv act as if the op is attempting to use commands as an
un-identified nick.

No

non-opers should not be allowed to drop, IMO there wouldn't be anything to
stop them from drop'ing the channel then re-registering (since to UN-forbid
a channel you drop it.)

No
