Browsers Tested: IE and FF
Placement: main footer

this code will let you set up a ranking system for your mods who have the ability to modify profiles. If you want certain mods to not be able to edit other mods, just put their name into a higher rank. you can establish however many ranks you need. any mod not listed in the ranks will only be able to modify his own profile and regular users.
