How is administrative consensus reached,
to accomplish the dismal task of banning a (non-staff) member?

See the Notifications section for a list of actions taken and rationale for same.

I have many previously unreleased photos of Rangers, Mariners, Lunar Orbiters and early Explorers/Pioneers getting prepped for flight. Where would be the appropriate place to post them?

I'm not an admin, but if it is less than 1000 photos, consider using a free Flickr.com account. Several UMSF image processing folks use Flickr to host higher resolution/quality versions of images than can be uploaded to UMSF with its 3MB per post limit. Then link to the photos from posts in the appropriate topics here.

BYEMAN, you can create a topic in the "Past And Future" subforum for these. Would love to see them!

Isn't that for Mars missions?

It is certainly in the Mars forum. It's not like the forum organization is completely consistent, especially in regard to when a subforum is created and when it's not.

It makes more sense to me to create a new topic in lunar exploration for the LO and Ranger stuff, etc. And I was under the impression that hosting a lot of images on UMSF was being discouraged. See the discussion at http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=8656 although there was no definitive statement made by admins.

Alright.

1. So, yes, I did a dummy; disregard my direction to use "Past & Future" because that is indeed part of the Mars section. There went MY holiday bonus...

2. Under "Other Missions" I just created a new section titled "Other Robotic Spaceflight Topics". BYEMAN, please put your new topic there.

3. Re excessive image hosting...correct. Posting links to image repositories elsewhere is MUCH preferred. However, if this is not feasible, please try to limit the size of attachments by using compressed formats, etc., and actually I'd welcome input from any and all imagewizards here on what works best for these things.

I host both web pages and images on my website using Justhost (formerly Ehost). Not quite free though.

https://www.justhost.com/

Sounds like BYEMAN's images could go in the object of interest in some cases (e.g. Lunar exploration as mentioned earlier).

Usually JPEG and PNG are good formats for compressing images.

Well, I've mostly switched FROM dropbox for images hosting to OneDrive.

Given the limited color palate PNG should give fairly good compression.
