Nothing really. :)

There was an area that was accessable only to members Diplomat and above that was hardly used but that seems to have disappeared with the latest forum upgrade.

Kryo could certainly answer this better but I think the access levels are mostly left over from the days when forum moderation was performed by members of the forum itself. Kryo was among these and eventually became the official SD forum moderator.

There still are a few folks that show up now and then and whose name highlight (or used to before the latest forum upgrade) as a forum moderator but what real moderation ability they have is unclear. Also from what I've seen most of these folks are at the Governor level which isn't even on the list.

The bottom line is that access levels are basically that someone from Stardock feels that you have made some positive contribution to the forum community.
