hello, i cant change main admin to another user now, why?

it will be great if i can change main admin to another user beacause no one will be able to guess who is the real admin on oxwall site. Right now we can easily guessing oxwall admin by the first person who joining oxwall site

thanks

Would it be better to just create some dummy users with admin names?

the easiest way is to change your profile details, otherwise you will need to do that via database, more complicated one, certainly, to achieve the same result. So I recommend you just to change your profile details.

I receive at least 5-10 times everyday someone who try to guess and login using admin attribute. If they know oxwall, they will easily know that the first person who joining oxwall site is the main admin. so, we only depends on passwords strength.

You can do this..

that will hide it from the list, it is a mod so be sure to make a note for when a update comes out you can put it back.
