The only problem that I have on my forums, is that there are special groups of members. Let's say that I have GamerA who only has access to GameA sections on the forums (GamerB has access to GameB sections and not GameA sections). That would limit his viewing extremely as guest only have access to universal information: News and Updates, General Chat, Bugs, and Support.

A universal method would be to simply disable account changes, posting, and editing posts. I would have love this feature when we revamped our site, changing and moving sections around and moving posts all over the place to comply with the new sections. Instead, we closed down the board for 72 hours which caused more headaches than anything from the emails we've received. When we revised it again, we manually changed the permissions on all the sections to a "Read-Only" setting...but changing them back was a tedious and extremely painful experience. This could have saved the time by allowing us to do that without causing much of a problem. All database designing should have the site Shutoff completely to prevent corruption.
