    FotM Voting Suggestion

    It is simple. For this December forum of the month contest, any member that doesn't have up to 15 posts in December would not have their votes counted.

    FotM Voting Suggestion

    @Shawn Grossman, I think there should be a minimum post count within the contest duration for a person's vote to be considered an eligible vote. I mean someone that votes in this contest should have say 10 posts or 15 posts within the month of the contest for his or her vote to count. We have...

    Profanity in usernames

    Even borderline profanity should not be allowed as part of username for a member of a forum. What we don't know as forum admins is that if we allow profanity part of username of a member, profanity would become a brand identity of the forum. I would tell that member to change their username...

    Healthy Forum

    A healthy forum is one where users share their opinions, argue, agree and disagree respectfully. Conversations stay civil. And also, there must be significant activity of about 30 posts a day for a forum to be adjudged as healthy.

    Your members misbehaving on other forums

    As far as it didn't happen in my forum, I won't ever consider taking any disciplinary measures on members of my forum that misbehave in other forums. I might have to watch them closely on my own forum. I think that's the stand of all other forum owners.

    Most Unusual Forum Problem

    As a forum moderator, I had to handle this issue with a certain member who opened threads repeatedly to announce that he was retiring from the internet. And he always returned every three days with another dramatic goodbye. I engaged him and found out that he was trying to express emotions...

    Music and writing

    I am person that is most creative in a quiet place. I am always at my creative best when I shut out everything from my mind and focus on the piece of writing that I am handling at the moment.

    Religious topics

    I sincerely think that placing a ban on religious related discussions on a forum is too restrictive. I would allow religious discussions on my forum but with good moderation. Even if there are arguments, it should not be dramatic. I would ensure that I use moderation to ensure that members don't...

    Adding new sections to the forum

    I would rather observe the patterns of discussion on the forum to determine if I would add a particular section to the forum. If there are many discussions aligned to a particular aspect lately, it is definitely a signal for me that the forum needs a specialized section for that niche.

    Treating your forum like a business

    Even when you don't intend to monetize your forum, treating it as a business would help you to ensure that quality is the hallmark of the forum. When you treat your forum as a business, you would pay close attention to the kind of topics that are discussed, the kind of comments and it would...

    Midlife Crisis

    I think I am actually going through a mid life crisis at the moment. I am 26 but I have really bee wondering the need I have to be religious all my life. And I don't have anything that I have gained from religion. I have become passive nowadays when it comes to religion. And everyone is worried...

    Strange registrations on your forum

    From experience, I can boldly say that 90% of those strange accounts are bots. I am always in favour of deleting any account that sign up seems suspicious with weird usernames. It is risky to keep such accounts.

    Deleting forum content

    If the posts we are talking about here is spam, or rule breaking content, I just hard delete them. It turns to digital clutter when you leave those posts visible for staff. I might favour moving such posts to a locked archive that can only be accessed by staff. I think that is cleaner.

    Staff training and onboarding sessions

    If you are hiring a moderator for your forum, you need to have some onboarding process for them as part of your website's structure. Even hiring individuals that already have experience as moderators, they have to come up to speed with the unique culture of your forum and it's rules. That...

    Underrated tech gadgets

    Whenever I look at how much my portable SSD drive has served me, I just can't help but keep wondering why I didn't buy it earlier. It is very fast andr reliable for me in backing up and moving very big files, especially with my job that requires me to move files up and down. The portable SSD...

    What's your forum management style?

    For managing an online community, I always prefer aligning to existing structure and my approach is proactive. I always lay down clear rules and use those rules to intervene in conversations as it starts dwindling into rules breaking. I don't waste time to lock a topic if it is clearly if it...

    Allowing some profanity?

    If I own a forum, I would certainly allow some mild profanity. For me, allowing some mild profanity makes conversations in forum discussions not to be rigid. Profanity that are light and conversational are cool for a forum I own as long as it is not directed towards anyone. Anything that is...

    Toxic Forum Topics

    Toxic and controversial are two different things. Most of the topics on forums that we think are toxic are just controversial. And I allow controversial topics. But when a topic is borderline toxic, I delete it immediately.

    Do you have many friends?

    I am one person that can't pinpoint anyone and call that person my personal friend. Anyone that is around me, there is something of interest that we share that makes us around each other. I don't have a single friend that can come look for me at home.
