Whether or not I think this is a good idea, I do not believe it is
feasible without gms and some new bots/scripts/code. There are a *lot*
of #ubuntu-* irc channels, most we don't directly control, many which
don't appear on chanserv or channel listings... plus staff with auspex
shouldn't be using it for something like this.

Now for the juicy bit...

I don't think its a good idea. Banning someone in every single channel
is "making a point". Demonstrating our power. Its just over the top!
Rather than "making a point", I think we should "deal with the
situation". The former tends to aggravate the people on the other end to
bad situations, making things a whole lot worse.
