You’ve better to ask this on WP Symposium support if you don’t know how to handle this or on bbPress support. You’re on BuddyPress support here !
I think this is a BuddyPress thing as it would not be limited to forums but displayable on the profiles page and users in admin, which im pretty sure is BuddyPress stuff.

I am unsure of how this would be able to help me add a feature but here are the answers you requested.
The problem when asking many question in different topics, is it lead to confusion.
As you exlained (later) here, you switched from WP symposium to BP… so asking you for plugin list was a first step.
Now it’s clear… at least at your install level.
How and where are “developper” and “staff” items used/created ?
With xprofile field ? A plugin ?
At the moment, we have no list for this, or any way of displaying this, as we have a small staff list I was just going to go through them and add it manually.
I thought the best way to do this would be to have a field on the users profile (which only an admin can see) that allows for a string to be inputted which is displayed on the users profile and below them on BBPress forums.
This could obviously be done with forum roles as well but I was trying to steer clear of that as it generally means another plugin running.
Additional:
If I add the “Header Label” (the field I am talking about) as a Profile Field, how do I make it visible to ONLY admins, but display it’s data on the profile page and forums to all?
To show you what I mean, I have made a snapshot of the field.

It looks like this from the frontend.

What I want to do
I would like to :
A. Make this field ONLY editable by administrators.
B. IF the field has anything in, display it in 2 places (listed below)
B1. At the top of the profile page (as shown in the WPSymposium shot at the top)
B2. On the forum page, shown in the bottom mockup of the first image
Update
I have managed to get a custom profile field only visible by admins, now all I need to be able to do is display that information in those places listed, I’m hoping someone knows how.
I am unsure of how to use the data I now have for the profile field.
I am sure it is not hard to display somewhere but I am having trouble working out how to do this without editing the core BuddyPress or BBPress files, otherwise when I update I will lose all of this.
