This is very critical feature, I believe 99% of the server admins and MP mission designers would love this feature.
We have the system channel now for BE and mission messages, so there's no absolute need for global channel, instead we really need an option to disable the global channel. Just join any MP PvP, TvT or such server and observe how huge problem the global channel is! It's dedicated for revealing locations of allies to the enemy, insulting and flamebaiting.
The global channel is not necessary. The option to make it disappear is necessary. The most important single function of the whole command "disablechannels" is to disable the global channel.

This is a very important aspect of MP gameplay and this ticket needs more attention. Vote up!

<devil's advocate>It may be used for some internal mechanics, so disabling it may not be possible that easy</devil's advocate>
But an important thing to be done, indeed.

You're right, however disabling (or simply not showing) the option to write to the channel shouldn't be a problem.

There's a system channel already. System messages are shown in that channel (that looks like global channel, I believe). So global channel is not mandatory anymore.
