Giving a
handicap veiwing
rank to all former staff or recognised members who aren't participating?
Or temporarily stripping participants of all previous user groups
edit:beat me to it
If you really wanted to you could make another user groups with the same name (eg two former staff groups) and just put the participants into the second formerstaff usergroup then make that group unable to see the forum so they keep their title. But that sounds hard. I dont know how many button clicks and keystrokes are involved in these user groups
Or we could just trust Jojee
