What bothers me about this, just as the warning message says when you make someone an Admin, is that anyone I give Admin status to can remove me as administrator. Sure, I'm only assigning it to people I trust, but good security is somewhat blind to trust.

I wonder if some of you have modified code, or have come up with creative ideas to have good, round-the-clock protection of your forums, in ways that doesn't include assigning Admin status to a lot of people.

Just yesterday, 3 kids came into the forum and started flooding it with spam. There were a couple of Mods online but all they could do was delete the posts. They couldn't ban the IPs, change the flood setting, or really, do anything that would stop the flooding.

I'm just looking for ideas. Maybe I'm overlooking something basic.

Thanks
