Slash Commands for Bots should follow Channel Permissions

At this moment bots with slash command don't follow channel permissions.

An 'old' bot is not available in a channel it doesn't have (read) permissions to.
An '' Slash' bot is available in every channel and can respond in every channel even when it has no permissions or has denied permissions to that channel.

A bot should not be available to members if the bot and the members don't share a common Channel. If you use Mee6 for moderation in an mod-Channel only why can users access the bot for slash-commands ??

Not a single chance this should be the normal behavior.

Please have bots follow the channel permissions for (at least) read en write access.
Please allow the use of slash-commands on a per channel base and not a server side allow-all or allow-non setting.

I opened a support case at Discord and I'm stunned with their response.

Basically they say:
Yes, All bots are available to all people in all channels BY DESIGN
No, you can not restrict those permissions for the bot within the Discord Server properties

But...., they say:
You can ask the bot developer to implement restrictions for their bots.

I really can't understand one single reason why a bot can determine if I should be available in every channel or to everyone in the server.

Please vote if you would like to have this changed so Bot permissions are at least available within the Discord Server permissions
