Forum Staff Levels

[Shawn Gossman]

The basic default forum staff levels are administrator and moderator for the most part.

Some forums have super moderators and single-board moderators.

Some forums have multiple admin and multiple moderators.

Some only have 1 admin (the forum owners) and then just moderators.

Where does your forum stand in all of this?

It is nice to have different levels of staff. Like admin, super mod, mod etc.

Would you have more than one admin?

Or do you just have moderators?

 

[Dilip]

One admin is enough

I've always had one admin and two global moderators. It's always worth having a few moderators incase something goes wrong and you're not around.

You being the one admin right?

I am ok with handing over the admin badge to someone I trust.

Yeah I've never had another admin, don't think it would be something I'd want to do, at least on a forum I'm paying for.

That is one reason forum software should never allow access to the hosting folder through ACP. It is a huge security risk. Because if they are related, when one falls, the whole infrastructure is at risk.
