Support Forums

Nice guide, I like it.

How is this a tutorial on how to choose staff members? It just explains 4 different types of staff members.

So.. More posts and rep are more social so they go on Support and stuff? And High posts and low rep are dev and infraction mods?

Yeah basically

Simple but effective .

1. Aggressive - These staff members make the best moderators. They look for spam and they ban the members immediately and will not question their judgement.

Tell me, would you like to be a member on a forum where the mods will ban users for the slightest infractions?

THESE make the best moderators. A good mix of fairness and action.

They are the member every user likes and has a good time with. These staff members are best put in a position where they would be dealing with people such as the position of support or suggestions.

These are also quite god mods. Active ones.

These staff members are best not being staff members, tbh.

Sounds like most forums! Good job.
