So currently on any given forum an admin has the ability to demote any other admin out of the admin position so I was thinking what if we change it to be that The account who is the owner their shield isn’t the normal gray one its a green halved shield and they cant be demoted by admins and moderators are gray and regular admins are blue to differentiate different account types but if the owner wants they can change someone else on the forum to have the green shield giving themselves the blue shield and now the new green shield holder cant be demoted.
