[cgiirc-general] moderating irc chat

[Showfax <in...@sh...>]

Hello.  I downloaded and installed CGI-IRC.  I have a question about 
creating a moderated chat session and I don't know if this has to do with 
IRC itself, or with the client.  We wish to conduct a weekly 
seminar/lecture series, at which time our guest speaker will address the 
audience (via IRC).  My question is, can we stop (moderate) others from 
having their chat post coming through while the speaker is conducting the 
lecture, then when he or she has finished the lecture, open up discussion 
with the visitors for Q&A?

Thanks.
Bob
