Is this about getting the power Ravi ?
Would you like a Sheriffs Badge next to your avatar

I can confirm that I would abuse any power given to me with hilarious results.
Matty, is there a search and replace option that will allow me to change every instance of the phrase 'lease' to 'vape'?

Unfortunately, PhpBB is a target for spammers so it's pretty much inevitable now this site is being crawled by Google and other search engines.
Easiest option is to turn on manual authentication of accounts, and as the board is quiet it's probably the simplest.

I don't know if the system takes a while to catch up, but I still don't seem to have a Ban Beany button?

Indeed - let's all submit to this benevolent dictatorship. I don't think the forum is ready for a democratic uprising.
