Eich:
Suggest anything that might need improving or snazzing up of any kind.  Different from bugs and fixes in that these aren't urgent.

Here is what different staff groups can and can't do:

What a skald can do:
* Split threads into new topics
* Name new threads resulting from thread-splitting
* Edit any calendar event
* Merge threads
* Move threads to different boards.


What a skald can't do:
* Change or delete anyone's individual post
* Delete, lock, or unlock threads
* Sticky threads
* Add holidays to the calendar
* See or deal with anyone's PMs
* Ban/delete users
* Do major technical fixes


What a moderator can do:
* Everything a skald can do
* Lock/unlock topics
* Sticky topics
* Delete posts
* Ban/delete users
* Issue warnings to users


What a moderator can't do:
* (Anything technical)
* Add holidays to the calendar
* Add those little country flags (or any kind of imagery)
* Work with bugs/downtime/whatever
* Change the news up there
* See or deal with anyone's PMs


What an admin can do:
* Everything a mod can do
* Create new boards
* Make things visible/invisible to guests
* Add flags/smileys
* Change the news up there
* Change your login username (not the display name, you can change this on your own in your profile)
* Technical things

What an admin can't do:
* This mostly depends on the admin and what their coding abilities, etc. are

Come up with some lists so we can make this place a little more unique!

If anyone will ever get banned I request they are marked as "infected" or.. hehe, troll.

But of course.  :)
Although I think, once they're banned, their posts are simply removed altogether.

noako:
Oh... some forums have them, but in the way that their name is crossed over and it says banned below that.
Of course ideally we shouldn't need to find out what happens......

Doubt it! It would make a nonsense of every thread they have ever posted in. No forum does that by default, that I know of.

There are add-ons for various forums which enable mods to remove every post in the case of, for instance, spambots, but it's unwise to do that in the case of previously well-behaved forum members who have become infected!

Here are some ideas for forum ranks.:
In Quarantine
Out of Quarantine
Serf
Scald
Scout
Cleanser
Grade C Derp-Cat
Grade B Farm-Cat
Grade A Lord-Cat
