spacer channels

[cknost]

Hello,
i wish spacer channels like on Teamspeak for example: [cspacer]

I think this feature, and a few others mentioned in #3608, would do a lot for the general usability and user-friendlyness of mumble. To me this seems pretty straight-forward to implement, but I don't know anything about the codebase.

I think this could likely be achieved by creating the channel with ACLs configured such that nobody can enter it and (optionally) with a predefined name that visually marks the channel as a spacer channel.

Effectively, this should already be achievable without code changes but having UI support for setting everything up as required with one click seems desirable.

If someone wants to give implementing this a shot, let me know and I could elaborate a bit more.

True, but I would argue that this feature would be a lot nicer to use, if there were code changes. Let's say there are some hard-coded channel names for space channels e.g. [cspacer]
In the client, we could use an item delegate thingy to draw a nice line or whatever without necessarily depending on fonts or Unicode. Instead of not having the permission to enter, the client would not even give the user the option to join the channel. With regards to accessibility, the clients using screen readers could read "spacer channel" instead of "dashdashdashdashdash" ;)
There are probably some server side things to consider, too.
