Basically I want it to be invite only and use it as a moderation
platform. Is this possible?

Yup. Very easy

Set modes +npsi

n is no outside messages, and is on by default.

p is no knock, meaning people can't request access. You have to give
it to them

s is secret, meaning the channel doesn't appear in whois or lists

i is invite only.

To keep up an invite list, you use the +I banflag. Say a user has the
name `herpton` and has a snoonet hostmask of `snoonet/user/herpton`.
To add them to your channel, you would do `/mode #channel +I
*!*@snoonet/user/herpton`. They can now join your channel, but no one
else can
