What Kind of Staff Do You Need on Your Forum

[Nomad]

Some forums have a dedicated staff, they have moderators, community managers, secondary admins, team leaders, marketers, etc. What kind of staff do you need on your forum? Currently, I do not have any staff but in the past I have hired two different staff, one was a moderator and another was secondary admin.

For a well-rounded forum team, you need moderators to enforce rules, administrators for technical and security management, content creators to add valuable posts, and community managers to maintain engagement. Each role contributes to keeping the forum active, organized, and welcoming.

If you're a forum owner who's always around to oversee things in your forum, you don't need so many staffs members in your team. A moderator and a community manager is enough to run the forum.

A successful forum needs admins for oversight, moderators for rule enforcement, community managers for engagement, support staff for user help, and content creators to spark discussion.

I don't have a forum yet, but clearly if I did, I would need more than one moderator to avoid spam and toxicity in the forum, as well as possible virus links and such. I think this is essential for any good forum to maintain order and peace.

The size of the forum and the active users will be considered before having so many staffs on board. Are all those staffs going to be paid or working as free volunteers?

Having a staff that's very dedicated and committed to the forum is a blessing because a lot of people now doesn't take other people's project seriously even when they are being paid.

I used to do the work myself for months, until I got a forum up and running. That was like 20 years ago. Now, as we have built this forum, I understood the value of a community manager to keep it afloat while life happened to be and my SEO work took precedence. It was a great idea and I'm excited about the work done (Nomad ).

Currently, I own two forums and I have moderators on these two forums. Well, a lot of people believe that if your forum is small and if you can spare a couple of hours every day on your forum, you don't need staff. But even in a small forum if you have a staff, you will have a regular activities. Your staff are also your posters that can spark discussion.

Some forums have entire teams: moderators, community managers, secondary administrators, marketing managers, and others. It all depends on the size of the community and its activity. In my case, I don't have a permanent staff these days, although in the past I worked with two people: a moderator and a secondary administrator.
