Staff and administration.

[Justin]

I wanted to know how some admins manage their staff.

My staff have their own Staff Forum to chat. Now before I start I have to say, one is the Head Of Staff, which means he manages hiring and firing of staff as well has managing forum groups. The other is a Co-Administrator.

So they get on this topic just the two of them on a thread in the staff forum and it goes to 3 pages, and the last post says " I agree lets do this". How do you handle that?

I just get them to send highley recommended ideas in a PM to me.

Considering I only have 1 global mod at the moment, I don't really have to manage staff. 😀 But in the future, when there's more members and more staff, I will be creating a private subforum just for admins and mods to discuss forum issues, latest warnings, bans, and other things.

Yeah but my time is also a problem :\

Then surely a quick chat on Yahoo/MSN is far easier ?

I have a staff forum. 🙂 I sometimes talk to them on MSN too.

This is what we do. We set up times when we can all be on and chat about everything that we need to. If we have questions when we cannot chat then we PM. I always have my yahoo chat open even when Im not around so that they can IM me if/when they need to.

If your forum has a large amount of staff members, an entire subforum (private of course) is recommended. It will allow all of you to talk about issues with members, the forum itself, all at the same place.
