May I ask how long ago did this happen? I have seen two examples in the last 2 years that could contradict it. One was one post of mine which worried the powers that be, and they contacted me personally to try to convince me to mute it. Part of the discussion was that in the past they did have admin possibilities.

The second example involved a post which should not have been made because it compromised the identity of a mistress. Everybody wanted to do all they could to delete it but doing it had to be done post by post in the reverse order for the same reason, no admin capabilities.
