Well they wouldn't be modeless channels persay.  Just no ops.  ChanServ
and OperServ could still affect the modes or grant ops of course.  So
you could do a +tns on the channel, just don't op people by default to
keep them from doing much.  They can't kick or ban this way for example.

Perhaps the mlock on a suspended channel could be setable in the
configuration file.


As a side note:
In all reality services can change modes on a modeless channel as well, but
they don't like it too much.  (The IRCd doesn't seem to mind though)
