[IRCServices] ircservices should enforce +R

Either I've misunderstood you and Dionisios K. or I think he meant
something different from what you're talking about. I think he is
suggesting that IRCServices should treat +R like it treats +A or +O.
That is to say, right now, if a channel is +O then IRCServices will kick
anyone that joins the channel that is not a global IRCop. So what I
took his suggestion to mean is that he wants IRCServices to kick the
user out of the channel if they don't have a registered nickname and +R
is set on the channel.
If this is indeed what he is suggesting, then I would say that it might
be worth considering. I guess that's useful really in two situations.
First if a user is the first one to join a channel and +R is mode locked
on, because the IRCd would then not enforce +R because of course the
channel did not exist at the time. Secondly I suppose would be on syncs
from netsplits where one side did not have +R and say some spam bots
managed to get in on on a split server. I guess in general I think it
is worth enforcing the mode simply for consistency in IRCServices since
+A, +O and +z on Unreal are already enforced.
And if this isn't what you meant Dionisios, then I suggest what I
thought you meant. What does everyone else on the list think of that? :)
