This is something I see a lot, having different forums inside your staff forum for each level of staff member. Like a staff forum for mods, one for admins etc; Do you do this or just leave one centralized forum for all staff members to talk in? I think having one center for all staff to talk in and subforums for each team is a great way to keep staff discussions organized. What do you think?
When I used to have staff (am running the shows myself now - small forums), I used to have people access ALL categories. This way they could cover each others. We had a staff category where we'd discuss and that was it. Anyway .. too much management for my taste. Would rather run the show myself
On a promotion forum I can see the benefits of having one for MODS, Reviewers, Graphics staff etc, but on mine I would have one staff chat room, when I need staff that is
I've always only had one. If you apart of my staff, no matter your rank, I feel it best to include them in everything. Especially since most of what is discussed in my staff section tends to be suggestions for who should be staff, what should be added to the technical side of the forum, etc, all of their opinions are valid. Though that being said, I am very, very strict on who I hire as staff and I've often been told that the people I find good enough for sectional moderator but not global moderator are good enough to be admin on most forums/gaming servers. (I'm big into maplestory private servers and minecraft servers as well.)
No not really because I only have mods which are all one. But I know sits where they have their own site just for admins but they are huge sites with over 30 admins.
We just have 2 forums once is General Discussion for all staff and 1 for Important Announcements to all staff. Admin discussions are done via Skype
Never tried it, but it sounds interesting in a way.. Although, I like to keep everyone on the up and up on things.. Everyone being on the same page ^^ If everyone was separated into thier own forum usergroups, then no one could see eachother's opinions I mean, if they are split, they will tend to stick to thier own forum group section, right? Or, I dunno xD; although, I can understand for like uploaders and bloggers^^
I don't really like the idea of multiple staff categories, it may make some staff feel like they are less appreciated than others. The best way to go is just have one staff forum.
