If I'm asking this on the wrong forum, I apologize. I just wasn't sure where else to go.

I realize there's an effort afoot to assemble the Wiki, but so far it's still rather bare. Is there any documentation anywhere that I'm simply missing? I don't seem to have a .txt manual in my FB download, but I may have moved it without realizing.

I am confused about so-called 'Special' ranks. If I set someone spammer, does this affect their use of the forums? Does it affect whether or not they can post, or just serve as a sort of 'Scarlet Letter' on subsequent posts made by that user?

Also, is there a way to prevent a specific user from using the forums without banning them from using the rest of the site? We're working on a site for a subdivision, and there are a number of older residents that may become ....outspoken, shall we say... on certain subjects. I'd like to be able to assure my clients that there's a way to prevent a user from using the forums if he or she gets testy too often.

Perhaps that belongs under Wishlist and Suggestions?

Anyway, I do want to thank the Best of Joomla! team for their work on FB. I love the forum!
