[ol][li]Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. [/li]

[li]Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. [/li]

[li]Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. [/li]

[li]Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. [/li]

[li]Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won\'t be removed by the administration.
