How can a Blog Admin ban a blog post or delete a comment?

A user with the Blog Admin privilege can ban a blog post or a comment by marking it as spam. In addition, anyone who writes a post or a comment can delete their own post or comment.

Grant the Blog Admin privilege

Go to Manage Users, select the user and click Edit Privilege. For details, see How to assign privileges to users.

Once a post is banned, no user can see it, and only a user with the Blog Admin privilege can un-ban it.
