I know this is off topic, sorry.

I'm pretty sure it was me who removed those. I'm also pretty sure we had a conversation about it. Or I should say, we had a conversation (via text on Skype IIRC) about your permissions when you resigned (where I asked if there were any permissions you wanted to keep) then I removed them.

I think I said something like 'I don't mind either way', leaving it up to the moderators/ owner to decide what I should keep, but I think I said that removing my query access to the forum database felt like a nobrainer, since that's where the sensitive information is stored. The front page database has zero to none sensitive information though (email addresses being the exception) but I understand that seeing how you were doing a cleanup on titles, responsibilities and rights at the time, it felt appropriate to remove everything.

Also is the 'former staff' title mandatory? I guess I don't see what purpose it serves other than being some sort of badge.

It's not, no; some people prefer to not have it.
