Hire the active poster? Why it's not always a good idea!

[Shole1]

We all owned a forum at some point or were an admin or team leader in one, and we all know the hardship of hireing a new member. Of course we all have some certain requirements for people to joing our awesome staff, but why is it sometimes wrong to hire the most active poster?

My innital thoughts were that they drift off and start doing more staff jobs and stop being so active as a poster, but then I thought about it a bit longer and came to the conclusion that the end goal has been reached.

By end goal I am referring to some people seeing everything in an achievement/goal like scenario, if I am the best poster I win, after that if I get selected to staff I win, and most stop at getting selected as a staff member. I know from my experience as soon as my name was bolded and in another color, it seemed like I made it and don't have to put the effort in anymore. But that was my old and wrong approach.

Usually from my experience I tend to avoid getting someone from the top posting ranks, but as in everything in life, there are exceptions. It won't always happen like the scenario above but I wrote this for some new onwers to be warry.

How would you deal with such a new staff member? What are your staff recruiting requests?

In everything in life, there are Advantages and at the same time there are a lot of Disadvantages. But to me hiring an active poster should be a plus to a website if managed well instead of becoming an issue.

Care to elaborate your answer more? What would be the biggest benefit ?

I don't think that this approach is necessarily true and it will all depend on the person because if they are actually believing in the website then obviously they are going to try and make it as best as possible and therefore I think that you will be able to hire them.

I think their priority should be the driving force which will be a factor that will eventually make the forum to always keep afloat, think the momentum should be sustained at every point and period they find themself,

Personally I think no one can really condemned the fact of hiring an active poster in a forum. Thete are both advantages and disadvantages in everything so you just have to faced the disadvantages when it occurs.

There's nothing wrong in hiring an active poster, to my own perception. As long as they keep satisfy you, there's no or little that concern about how they think. It's a small task to become an active poster in a forum to the point being selected as staff. It come with sacrifice.

I believe you, there is nothing absolutely wrong with hiring an active poster and that is whT most company needed. someone that can be productive in his duty.

Yes, you're very correct. If I create a forum today, those that will work with as an admin are people who are very active in the forum. It's best thing to hire active poster who has created a lot of contents as admin. The active poster need to motivated and encourage.

I think hiring active forum posters is a great advantage, and I don't find anything wrong with that. In fact, active posters are more productive and passionate about their work.

Actually hiring an active poster is really great at it's at your own advantages because it helps in productivity rather than employing someone who is not active in his duty.

Everything in life has its advantages and many disadvantages at the same time. But for me, having active posters should be more of a plus for the site if managed properly than a problem.

I agree with you. Active poster are more productive and passionate than other poster. As a forum owner, it's only expedient of you to hire people who are active in your forum as staff.

In my opinion, there isn't anything wrong with hiring a regular poster. It takes very little effort to
participate in a forum to the point of being chosen as staff and I think they should be hired provided that they can fulfill their mandate

The steps I will take to ensure a staff continues posting regularly as usual is coming into agreement about being ready to be very committed to posting on the site before making him or her an admin.

 

[Lynaia]

I don't why people are talking about the disadvantages of hiring an active poster. There is no any disadvantages there to me. You can't expect someone to be active always

 

[frederick_9]

Every aspect of life has advantages, but there are also several drawbacks.
But in my opinion, if handled properly, hiring an active poster should be a benefit to a website rather than a problem.

It can work tho but I don't know if it's really worth it in my opinion it's better to buy fake posters I know it's sounds fishy but to make a forum look active you must to it

i do not see anything wrong in hiring someone to post on your website or blog, especially when you do not have the time to do it but you have the financial power to foot that persons bill.

 

[Chibson]

I think if I have a forum I will actually hire someone who is very active. The reason is because the person knows the forum in and out, he or she can do a moderation job better.
