Can creators ban or remove admins?
Because the site creator has left a week after the site was made the the site admin took control and built the site from the ground up, it seems unfair that someone can come along and mess with a site that they didnt properly "create" its been 2 years and they havent been on... 6  out of 10 found this valuable.

"Can creators ban or remove admins?"
Yes.
Fair or unfair, that's how it works, technically speaking. Assuming the creator never canceled their account and thus remains the creator, this person still owns the site and they can do whatever they want to the site, whenever they want to do it. Wetpaint Central has no say in this, or at least that's the policy I've consistently seen around here. See the rules on section 5, item D ("Moderators are not Gods"). Do you find this valuable?

Than shouldnt there be special rules and regulations when dealign with these situations? Like wetpaint sets the rules so why not make them fair..? Even the real Legal system has rules for stuff like this, Im no lawyer but wouldnt this be a case of property abandonment..? Do you find this valuable?

There are no special rules. It's the creator's wiki, not an admin's. Creators can ban whoever they want, whenever. And Wetpaint has no control if someone is banning people randomly or for no reason. It's their wiki. They can do what they want. Do you find this valuable?

None of the people who have replied to this thread are Wetpaint Central Moderators, nor do they work for Wetpaint. They do not run the wikis. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
