Until we find good ways to provide much more power without cluttering the UI and scaring noobs, maybe we could have a (not so)secret config ini file that would be a plain text way to make changes.

> disable_js_lib = YES
> disabe_bbcode_images = YES
> disabe_bbcode_smileys = YES
> disabe_bbcode_fontsize = YES
> add_rel_nofollow = NO

> Alternatively, make it a form in the NB admin but just don't link to it anywhere... so users wouldnt know about it.. but then if a user came on the forum and said "I want to disable jquery in NB, since my template already loads it", I could say "Log into your admin panel and then paste this into the URL bar: index.php?option=com_ninjaboard&view=advancedconfig and edit your settings there.
