Exemption Flags: Exemptions are used by the sysop to give user's extended privilege to the system. For example, you might want to give a trustworthy user the right to remove, move, and edit descriptions of all files in the Transfer Section. Normally users can only remove or edit the description of a file they've uploaded, but a user with the 'R' exemption can move any file, remove any file, or edit any file description in the Transfer Section. This ability is normally only given to sysops. The following is a list of the available exemptions and their descriptions ($ indicates that sysops have this capability): A - Anonymous Allows user to post and send e-mail anonymously.
