As long as Madilla gets a [‘Supreme Leader’ role](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/index-coop-org-chart/1462/3)…

I don’t think the channel idea is bad, but the important thing here may be the trust levels associated with a role. This could be useful with newcomers and helping to filter out spam

Update: The more I consider it, and after reading @helmass 's comment, this does seem a bit gate-keepy.What could be the purpose of these sorts of channels outside of the exclusivity?

Perhaps there’s more utility for these sorts of channels when they aren’t based around the owl rankings? (ie dev roles, bd roles, etc)
