is there a moderator panel?

hey, just wanted to know if theres a moderator panel in forums to be able to ban people from forums if they are not following the rules.

if there is one, where is it?

If you have allowed moderators to ban members, then the option will be available to moderators by viewing a member's profile, if the option isn't there, then it isn't enabled, check User Groups in Admin Panel.

hmm, yes. but I dont think the admin knows much about forums, and im only a mod. so how would i tell him how to do it

Admin Panel --> General --> Forum --> Security --> Disallow moderators to ban members : [No]
