    Google Makes It Clear It Has Both Site Wide & Page Level Ranking Signals

    No, we shouldn't! Every public page in our community is potentially a front-door. In my main community, my homepage is maybe the fourth or fifth most popular page. The homepage is actually more for people searching directly for the brand or returning users. It's not for true guests, which...

    What is quality forum content?

    Content that makes you think. Content that makes you pause before replying. Content that teaches you and expands what you know.

    Telling members to go search for it

    You should go Google your answer 😆 On a serious note, Im very mixed. I've seen many instances when the same question has been asked over and over again, and the answer has been stated and confirmed. In this case, searching for the answer is a correct and valuable pathway to self-answer your...

    Rules vs. Self-Governance on Forums

    I've yet to see a forum be truly self moderating. Would love to see a real example At the end of the day, the forum is hosted and paid by someone. And that someone is the one who gets to make and enforce the rules.

    Bluesky crosses the 18 million user mark

    I don't think it's about Bluesky itself being popular, I think it's more about X being unpopular 🙃

    How do you feel about necro posting?

    This is entirely contextual to the timeliness of the thread. If it's an evergreen topic, keep the conversation going. It's okay if they post a year later! One of my most favorite things is going through the decade of conversation on Admin Junkies and seeing how timeless some of the...

    Have you ever mistakenly banned a member?

    This is one of those situations where you should exercise a little more control and thought before hitting the back button. From a design perspective, no forum software should actually make the ban button super easy. It should be a part of a menu, there could be a confirmation, etc. but...

    Pay for programming

    Do you mean pay for custom software programming to extend or add custom features?

    What makes a forum toxic?

    It might be the opposite, which is overbearing moderation

    Forums: 50 years from now

    In 50 years, online groups will continue to exist. This could be augmented reality, digital worlds, meta worlds, etc. But forums, as a specific type of technology (discussion platform), are going to be replaced by better and more graphical modes.

    What kind of forum admin are you?

    I am the kind of forum admins that makes a contextual decision. Did that user sexually solicit any underage users on my forum? Did that user act in any untoward manner toward other users? Did that user break any of the actual terms of use of my site? Did that user actually have any hint of...

    What kind of forum admin are you?

    I'm actually very surprised at some of your past moderator actions. You took action on a forum member for something that happened outside of the forum, which is a very expansive perspective of admin powers.

    Banned members who won't take no for an answer

    It's why I think it's super important for any established community to have a kind of duplicate member check. Usually these are add-ons and not core to the software, but they're critical in preventing members from making and remaking new registrations.

    Members who post a lot.

    Admins want new members to post something, but not post too much! And to introduce themselves but to not self-advertise! And it's okay to post some links but not too many links! And to be friendly and open to asking any questions and giving any feedback but also don't you dare infringe on any...
