Woo, I think I got it.I think I figured it out. It looks like this is a feature available to Admins, a default when you have Admin powers. Since zoogies has the ability to get into the codes and tinker around, he's got the power.
We could make this a feature for all Mods. Not sure it's necessary. Mostly just a curiosity.
