Allows matching users to speak regardless of `+m` or `+q` flags. Also
recommended for bots that talk in channels, as it exempts matching
users from some channel flood controls, and will prevent network
staff and the network's spam-management bots from being notified.

I'm not a fan of the "matching users" terminology because status modes are not list modes and don't "match" anything. They're set on a channel for specific users only as long as said users are in that channel. They cannot be set on a range of users (without client shenanigans) nor can they be set ahead of time.

Explaining what a status mode is would probably call for alterations to content/_guides/channelmodes.md. I'm willing to write such an explanation; let me know if you'd prefer that.
