[Feature Request] Locking a channel

[imanghafoori1]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

• When channels get popular they become very sensitive when you accidentally type in a private message in the channel and press enter. Because a lot of viewers will immediately see that.

• Also what if someone gets access to telegram and deletes the channel entirely? For example, I make my employees the admins for my organization channel, and the phone of my employee gets stolen or it falls into the hands of a baby, and the baby or the thief deletes some posts or the channel entirely.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Being able to lock a channel to hide the text input and only open it while the admin is concentrated on posting to the channel.

• Having local a password for each channel. So that the channel requires the password to be unlocked for a few hours and gets locked after a few hours.

• Requesting a confirmation before broadcasting a message to the channel. Do you want to broadcast a message to [ChannelName] ? Confirm Cancel

• Manually set a delay before the users can see the message so that the admin can cancel the broadcast in the period. For example, if I am uploading a large video in the wrong channel I will have time to notice and cancel the upload. But it is a text message, I have no time and it is immediately seen by members.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• The ability to confirm the posts by the main admin. Just like GitHub allow to make a pull request and the maintainer confirms to merge. it is also nice to make sub-admins suggest new posts and the main admin conforms them before going live.

Additional context

All and all it seems that more security is needed around the channels since they are important parts of businesses and human error are not expected from many of them.

you can require a password for entering your telegram account. a child won't access your account and delete sensitive stuff then

We do not want to bother with entering a password each and every time only because there is a sensitive channel there.
