Various chat system fixes. A bug in present day penn that yes..

We fixed again! If your not on a channel and you use the

@chat <chan>=message command

It now returns either that your not allowed to speak on the channel,
because your not on it.  Or if its open or you have chat powers over
the channel creator you can speak on it.
