Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to be able to either of the following (preferably both):

1) Be able to make certain bbcodes only work when an admin was posting (I saw about 2 years ago someone asked but no one could figure it out).
2) Be able to hide certain bbcode buttons/posting options based on rank. I don't think most of my users need  marque to the right/left/up/down buttons ect.

There is no switch for that, you should code that on your own.

Unfortunately the only way is to remove unwanted BBCodes while posting new contents, but that will require editing many files, not only the forum ones, but also shoutbox and PM for example... or any other place where BBCodes may be used.
