Well ok!

But this has been bugging me for a long time now. If I was to promote a user to be a moderator. Im just talking hypothetically.
Can the user I promoted, change my current status as a creator and lower me to be a writer? Or can he/she have the ability to ban or
unban me? 18  out of 21 found this valuable. Do you?

Moderators can only change the user role for those that have a lower status level than them. Site creators and administrators are higher than moderators so they cannot be banned or have their permissions changed by a moderator. 6  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

If you are the site creator, you can't be banned and I think you can ban them. 4  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

"If you are the site creator, you can't be banned and I think you can ban them. "
This info. leads me to the next logical question: If a site creator leaves a private group, can, or how does, the title get transferred to another member? How can the site creator who quit the group be removed as a member of the private group? Thanks! Do you find this valuable?
