Banning - built in protection for super admin?
 

I would like to give my moderators the ability to ban users.

Am I right in assuming there is some "hierarchy" built in, eg. a moderator cannot ban another moderator, or myself (as super admin).

If not, what else do I need to do to ensure mods can only ban usergroups "below" them?

Can you also confirm, a banned user can easily be "unbanned" and all posts, user profile, PMs etc restored as normal?

Final question... am I right in thinking that because "Can ban users" is only set on a per forum basis (in the moderator permission section for that forum), it means that a mod can only ban members who have posted in their forum, or is this a global thing (and they can ban anyone via their mod cp)?

Sorry for these questions... thanks in advance.
