        Too much overhead for the IRC servers and not really needed - if people don't 
like the colours most clients will allow them to be stripped off.  And 
reducing the number of bans for using colours isn't really someting we're 
concerned with - people should just learn to respect the rules of channels 
they go in.

        Increadibly limited use not to mention esoteric.  I can't see it being 
accepted on Undernet.  Adding a new channel mode which will get used on one 
channel on the whole network doesn't make any real sense.  In general if we 
want to make a channel oper only, we just set it +i like anyone else would 
when they want to control who gets in.
