Staff Hierarchy Permissions

Current version is 2.4

Original Description (See features & version history for up-to-date info)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With two changes to the default warnings.php, this plugin will better handle the permissions for the warning system by letting you set-up a hierarchy of group ids from most powerful to least powerful. If the user the person is trying to warn has a lower rank (ie, closer to the left) than the warner, permission will be denied.

Installation instructions
---------------------------------------
See install.txt

Upgrading from v1.2 or lower to v1.3 or later (according to in-admincp number)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Uninstall the old warn permissions plugin
2. Delete warn_permissions.php from MYBB_ROOT/inc/pluginst
3. Upload the contents of the Upload Folder to your forum root and reinstall

Upgrading from 1.3, 1.4, or 1.6 Dev to 2.0
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Not sure if this is neccessary, but I changed some of the info (setting info too) to be in a separate language file instead as plain text.
2. Uninstall the plugin.
3. Reinstall the plugin.

Upgrading from 1.x or 2.0 to 2.1
------------------------------------------------
1. This is mandatory as while I haven't changed the settings themselves, I've changed the way they are used and the descriptive text.
2. Upload ALL the files in the Upload folder to your mybb root
3. Reinstall the plugin
4. Follow the new directions given.

Same instructions for 1.x, 2.0, 2.1 to 2.2; note that two new settings have been added.
