GM Channel Options

GM Channel Options

GameMasters should have control over zone/global chat channels.

I suggest that the following commands / abilities be added under a command .channel

.channel username (Lists user created channels for the username)

.channel select - Selects a channel for below commands. For alliance trade chat it could be "tradealliance"

.channel mute - Mutes the channel (No one can speak except a GM with level 1 or above).

.channel mutewarn x - Sets a message repeated every x minutes that the channel is muted.

.channel mutetime - Same as mute except unmutes once the timer runs out

.channel disable (The channel is muted, all users are removed, channel is passworded. And the server takes ownership.
Might be useful for spammer channels? Bad addon channels?

.channel delete - Removes all channel characters and deletes it

.channel ban username - Bans a user from the channel

.channel ban userID channelname- Bans account by ID preventing any of their characters from using the channel.

For such a system to work for channels like Trade we would have to have an internal identifier so a command like ".channel ban madmax tradealliance" would work in banning a character called madmax from alliance trade chat.
