Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 22 | Someone who hasn't ever PM-ed me asking "can i be staff?".  In all seriousness though, I look for someone who truly cares about the community and its members. Dedication, being ready to learn, a willingness to help, and being able to 'speak softly, but carry a big stick' are the main things I look for. | ||||

We mostly get political and gaming discussion, so it was important to have a diverse group of moderators to balance things out. The main thing was if they were active members, willing to help, and if they're articulate and fairly respected on the forums.

Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 70 | My forum is starting to become quite big and other people care about who is moderator. So what I base it on is how dedicated they are to the forum and how post and time to contribute to the board and of course if they're liked by most. I recommend you at least considering one of those options as being staff worthy. | ||||

Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 61  | Yes, I am at the point where I will be wanting to choose staff for my forum, but I'm having a hard time with it. How do you know if you can trust a stranger (even though they have been members for awhile, you've never met them) with something you've dedicated so much time to? It's almost like a child that you want to find the right babysitter for. How did the rest of you get over that initial fear?  It would be nice to get a real-life friend to do it, but that isn't always feasible. | ||||

Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 17 | My "Grillpack of Friends" help "staff" my forum. These are the folks who help out the show the most and are the most computer literate. The only exception is my friend from India who is my biggest fan and would do anything to help out Good ole Grilldog, so when I'm traveling or busy, she looks after the forum for me. So Trust and computer ability and oh, undedicated admiration of me helps too... Really, I'm that vain!
