If the village idol is no more, anyone can destroy the banners. You can remove the ones that are in the way. However, none of the banners are tied to a village anymore and can't be reused, so they will all eventually have to be destroyed.
Just to verify, was any of the village or the village idol in a nuked area from the recent hard drive crash? (see announcements for more info if you haven't read anything about it yet.)
As long as you are a part of the village, you see the Authority bar. The only reason it goes away is if you are kicked out or the idol is destroyed.
