The permission thing is an anti-spam mechanic, it requires you to be a certain level or of played a certain amount of time before being able to use global channels.
Obviously used to help combat people logging onto server with new accounts with the intention of spamming. It is a little hard on the very new people though; it was a sacrifice that needed to be made though unless we put up barriers to making unlimited accounts here. Which we did not want to do.
