"Voiced" channel mode like IRC
Sometimes (especially in open source development) public and private are not granular enough distinctions. I'd like to be able to set a public channel as "voiced" where only certain users can post messages, but everyone can read them.
This is similar to IRC, and is extremely useful for meetings held publicly, but where the only voiced participants are members of the project leadership.

it is annoying when references in the comments only point to "this idea has been removed". what was the resolution? sorry, general problem with this platform.
I'll note that it is now possible to set Channel Moderation to only allow members or even just admins to post, but this also restricts access to adding replies.
There is a separate idea to be able to configure no posts, but replies to existing posts is allowed. https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/45381994-reply-to-private-chanel-posts

This seems like a duplicate of the popular "Allow a channel to be locked" ( https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/11594328-allow-a-channel-to-be-locked ). If this suggestion fits your needs, please consider upvoting it!
