It is quite interesting to see this topic. I've never ran into this much in recent times, but in the past it happened quite a bit. Not always handled in a mature or professional way, sadly.

I think one of the most important things that is missing in this topic is establishing clear expectations of common issues and common moderation scenarios. This helps proactively address issues before they become issues.

Yes, that is true too. I don't think as a forum owner I ever had to deal with conflicts. As a staff member on OTHER forums, sure did see it and sometimes involved me.

While I haven't had need of Staff, these are great tips to keep in mind. The key point is Communication!

Thank you for the feedback. I always value feedback on my articles, so I can always improve myself.
I do address this quite a bit in this article.

I feel like nowadays you truly do not need a staff team IMO.

But anyway I think it is a good idea to take the stuff said in this article into account.
