To remove it from the DOM completely you’d have to override the about page template in a theme… there’s some detail about how to do that here: [(not recommended) Overriding Discourse templates from a Theme or Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/overriding-discourse-templates-from-a-theme-or-plugin/247487)

The default template is this one: [discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/templates/about.hbs at 9e440dca332c0e2879a1a6a4ee49347aba33d1ef · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/9e440dca332c0e2879a1a6a4ee49347aba33d1ef/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/templates/about.hbs)

And to override you’d want to copy the contents of the above file, add them to `{theme}/javascripts/discourse/templates/about.hbs`, and modify as you see fit. You could remove all admins by simply removing this block…

```hbs
{{#if this.model.admins}}
  <section class="about admins">
    <h3>{{d-icon "users"}} {{i18n "about.our_admins"}}</h3>

    <AboutPageUsers @users={{this.model.admins}} />
    <div class="clearfix"></div>
  </section>
{{/if}}

```

If you wanted to remove only some admins you’d probably need to override the route to add your own filter (the default route is here: [discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/routes/about.js at 098ab29d4150a5a39880d59ef6cad5f6795a18fd · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/098ab29d4150a5a39880d59ef6cad5f6795a18fd/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/routes/about.js))
