Setting the VIP Status to 2 would be making users able to access Silver VIP Catalogue, if you were to change that, it would more or likely fuck up the catalogue as I've tried changing min ranks and vip ranks etc within the catalogue.
Try going in your permissions_ranks / permissions_groups whatever and check if the enable command is within that section.
