here's some of my suggestions for forum staff
here's some of my suggestions for forum staff
- have forum staff set up (usergroups?) as subforum-specific
- controllers shouldn't have global perms- keep it in their section (if the rank is kept)
- instead of having a traditional application process, for the first two or so weeks of the rank's implementation, allow volunteers to trial the rank for subforums and probably be surprised at the outcome; weed out the least efficient/dedicated ones
- after it's somewhat stabilized, if wanted, use the application thingy
- if forum staff have deletion perms do not allow permadeletions by default
- allow said forum staff to come up with general rules and guidelines for subsection posting and moderating as opposed to following a generic ruleset for all forum activity
- they'd probably still follow the general thing at the beginning, but differing environments may specialize later
