Staff or Member?

[Naiwen]

Do you enjoy more being staff or member on a community?

Much prefer being a community member, that way I can say what I think without feeling like I have to subconsciously represent the staff when I have an opinion that isn't the standard wisdom on a subject.

Generally, a member unless it's my own forum or a forum I'm very attached to. If I'm not passionate about the niche of a forum, then I see no use being a staff member there. I would probably mainly be posting in the general topic areas and not actually contributing to the primary subjects of the forum. I want to be limited to the number of forums I'm staff on, otherwise, it can feel like a burden to have too many responsibilities on multitudes of forums.

Even if I have been a mod in the forums, I have always tried to post as a simple member without infringing on the freedom of others' opinions.

I prefer member in the long term due to having a busy life - but goodness I miss having a job or being able to do some sort of role and feel like I'm making some kind of difference or contribution online. I always used to end up as some type of moderator at the least.

Depends on the forum. If I have a keen interest in it, I'm active and feel like I can contribute substantially to it, then I would gladly become a staff member. For those forums that I visit now and again, then I'm happy just being a member.

It depends on the forum. If it's one I feel like I can help contribute to and make it even better then I will apply for a staff position. Otherwise I'm content with being a member.
