i think the newer mods don't have the power to just ban the poster. but they can change all sorts of stuff on their profile and in their title (such as where jurollo adjusted my 'title' to say 'johnny chan spotter') so whenever a spammer or 'online-is-rigged' or 'i don't understand variance but i think i'm gods-gift of poker' type guy arrives they can expect a 'scarlet letter' or two courtesy of the mods.

Figured I'd clear this up: we can still ban anybody, but what we can't do now is delete/lock threads except in our home forums. So sometimes spam threads get left around even after the poster was banned, especially if they posted it in multiple forums.

There's no difference between the powers of older mods and newer ones, as far as I know (except of course Mat).
