Wow, That'd be so Kewl! ^_^

Basically, it's like this - we have only two main sections to my RP forums, the "Out-of-Character" (OoC) area, and "In-Character" (IC) area.

I'm not quite sure how this would work, but I think the easiest way to do what I'm thinking of would be to create a mini-admin panel that only people who's status is set to "Approver" could access. In this Mini-admin panel, a "Approver" could look up all the users of the board (minus Mods and Admins), but the only thing that they can view and/or change would be a user's status of "Registered" to "Approved", or Vice-Versa.

Basically, I'm wanting my Forum Hierarchy to be like this:

"Registered" - A new member. They can view and post in the OoC area, but only view the IC area. (I already know how to set this up)

"Approved" - A regular member. They can view and post in both the OoC and IC areas.

"Approver" - A slightly higher member. They are just like "Approved" members, except they can access the mini-admin panel.

"Moderator" - Has power to edit/delete posts in only one section inside of an area, and can also access the mini-admin panel.

"Super Moderator" - Has power to edit/delete posts over all sections, in all areas, can also access the mini-admin panel.

"Administrator" - The only people who can access the regular Admin panel.

If there is a different (maybe easier) way to handle this, then I'm all ears. I hardly know any programming. ^_^

Sorry if this was kind of long, but thank you so much!!! ^_^ Also, if this kind of Hack would take a long time to complete, or is just too complicated, I completely understand if you won't be able to do it, but thank you anyways for at least thinking about it! ^_^
