  35 If I'm not mistaken, forbid totally drops the channel and the access list.  So there is a big difference there.  Suspend would be used where you want to punish the people in the channel, but where you also want to be able to restore the channel down the road.

  50 Well, as FORBID totally disallows a channel from being used or registered, you'd ideally want something inbetween standard operation and FORBID.
  51
  52 &gt;<i> Should a suspended channel:
  53 </I>&gt;<i> - allow users to join?
  54 </I>IMHO - Yes, FORBID stops users joining.
  55
  56 &gt;<i> - operate normally but prevent any setting or access-list changes from being
  57 </I>&gt;<i> made?
  58 </I>This would be a good thing to have, allows flexibility.
  59
  60 &gt;<i> - prevent changes from being made and not grant access as per the channel's
  61 </I>&gt;<i> access list?
  62 </I>I'm not too sure on this one, prevent changes from being made is a good one again, but if you go to all this trouble of suspending a chan, why not simply FORBID it?
  63
  64 &gt;<i>
  65 </I>&gt;<i> Would various levels of suspension be usefull? Would this be too confusing?
  66 </I>Now that would be a nice idea :c)
  67
  68 &gt;<i> Should this be a level-based or flag-based system?
  69 </I>Personally, I'd go for level-based...
  70
  71 E.g. Lev 1 - Chan Operates as normal except users on access list
  72 which are given +o normally only get +v (or something) ...
  73 Then go Lev 4 - Users can join chan, but access list is ignored, no settings can be changed etc...
  74
  75 Just my thoughts on it :c)

  84 </I>&gt;<i> I'm finishing off the implementation of channel suspensions. I was wondering
  85 </I>&gt;<i> what the general feeling was regarding the effect a suspension has on a
  86 </I>&gt;<i> channel.
  87 </I>&gt;<i>
  88 </I>&gt;<i> Should a suspended channel:
  89 </I>&gt;<i> - allow users to join?
  90 </I>&gt;<i> - operate normally but prevent any setting or access-list changes from being
  91 </I>&gt;<i> made?
  92 </I>&gt;<i> - prevent changes from being made and not grant access as per the channel's
  93 </I>&gt;<i> access list?
  94 </I>&gt;<i>
  95 </I>&gt;<i> Would various levels of suspension be usefull? Would this be too confusing?
  96 </I>&gt;<i> Should this be a level-based or flag-based system?
  97 </I>&gt;<i>
  98 </I>&gt;<i> Your ideas would be appreciated.
  99 </I>&gt;<i>
