Guide on your Forums' Staff Team [MUST READ IF YOU OWN FORUMS]

[Swat Runs Train]

You're assuming that these forum owners are just going with default abilities for their staff, I am a sectional Mod on a different site but can ban, make announcements, edit profiles etc.

Also the part about a good Mod not posting too much isn't really true, that statement was made assuming the site is busy (I hope it was anyways).


All in all though a good basic overview.

Very good tutorial. I enjoyed how you split it up and elaborated on each of the topics.

Keep it up.

I like this tutorial, although when choosing staff I usually get comfortable with them get to know the members a bit more. I always make sure they are in different timezone's as it helps members when I am not online.

This is something I try to do aswell.

Also, OP, you said you should 10 section specific moderators to every 1 staff member, sorry to say this but what are you smokin'?

Good guide. It looks very helpful. I am about to go through for a second read through.

When I start up a new site I always have 1 admin which is always myself. I have 2 super moderators and 1 regular moderator. That usually seems to work well when your first start out a new site.

No offense OP, but it seems your outlook on Forum staff is too generalized. Not every forum's team behaves in the manner you've depicted.
