NO.

root is the superuser which has access to each and every single shit in your server. It is your strongest user, and also your weakest user. The most vulnerable user/thing in a Linux server is the root user. If it were to be "hacked", you can consider your server as already fucked.

SO STOP RECOMMENDING OTHER USERS TO USE ROOT IN THEIR SERVER!

Think before you talk! Research before you post! Are there any sysadmins who recommend newbies to use root in fixing an issue? No! Only fools would suggest that!

THERE IS NOTHING ABOVE ROOT'S PRIVILEGES.

Nothing has higher privileges than root. root is the king of your server, and you have to safeguard it very well.

SO DISABLE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

You can disable root login access through SSH to bar anyone from logging in as root. Search on ****** for disabling root login for your Linux distro. And then, learn about using sudo for your linux distro.

Pfff. There are plenty servers that are getting their database dumped by attackers on a daily basis. The server owners don't even care or inform their customers (players).
