There's a setting on the IIP 5.3.1 Configure Panel: Should we allow markup in the shout? 1=yes 0=no<br /><br />I haven't tried it, but I think that turning that off would disable graemlins.<br /><br />I haven't looked at the Private Moderation hack, but restricting users from shouting isn't difficult. I added a flag to my extended ban hack for that.
