   I’m not overwhelmingly sure who would trust someone enough to be an author – and thus have the ability to post ANYTHING in front of their entire audience’s eyes – but not enough to delete something, which would most likely just be something THEY posted anyway.

   Be VERY careful with plugins that mess with capabilties. Very easy to lock yourself out of your blog.

   I’d also strongly recommend against renaming any of the roles as when WordPress upgrades itself, it uses the role names to add new capabilities that didn’t previously exist. If you rename the roles, then these capabilities won’t be added.

   In short, not for the novice.
