  Yes. It’s very common in Penguins, so don’t make other people admins of your blog. It’s not safe.

  As I understand it now, the only way the blog owner can be removed from a blog is if the blog owner asks staff directly. In other words, newer admins added to a blog can no longer delete the original blog owner. I think it was Mark that said that here in a forum thread.

  And it was due to the penguin dramas of the past.

  Ah, thanks, I forgot about it. Still a bad idea to make someone else an admin. I mean, maybe they could demote you even if they cant delete you.

  Yep – only staff can remove the original admin.

  BUT:
  An admin can delete all your posts, so can an Editor.
  If people are writing with you there is no reason at all to make anyone an Editor OR and Admin.

  And if someone does delete your posts the fault is yours. They will not be brought back.
