Unmute Owner in write protected Channel

[LucitheR]

Description:

creating a new Channel that is public but write protected leads to Owner is muted and nothing that is written afterwards is visible

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.60.3 Merge pull request Release 0.60.3 #9320 from RocketChat/release-0.60.3
• Operating System:m Linux
• Deployment Method(snap/docker/tar/etc):?
• Number of Running Instances: 1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create new Channel
2. set it to public
3. enable write protection

Expected behavior:

Whenever the Owner writes something it will appear normally.

Actual behavior:

when you write something, rocket cat informs you it is muted

Usecase

Sometimes you have to send info to people without cluttering the #general channel, for instance like the whereabouts of devices checked out from the pool. so all know where to ask for it. You need no responses, strictly one way.

Had this issue as well now on v 1.0.3.

However, the user who has been made an owner only gets a message from rocket.cat saying "Error", nothing more.

Only by looking in the log did we see:

The message from Rocket.Cat should at least tell the user they are muted.

I agree though that, by default, if you make someone an owner of a read-only (broadcast) channel, it should automatically unmute them.
