A reminder on channels

- Channels are *not* decentralized yet

- Do not squat channel names with the intention to sell them to brands later; this is extractive behavior

- When channels are decentralized and incorporated into the protocol later this year (likely onchain!), then you can do what you want! Just like FIDs

I understand what are you trying to do, but for me it is not necessary at all:
1) We used to have Facebook squater, Twitter squater,... it is a fair competition for everyone. If the squatter actually build a good channel, the brand will soon buy back/ fund for the channel to keep operating.

4) give real-active channel "active badge" to eliminate the fakers

2) if they are bad squatters, and do nothing else, the channel will soon eliminated and ignore by the community. The legit channel with professional marketing strategy/ contents will replace them in community' sense
3) Increase the fee to maintain a channel if you don't want squatter take them
