Your Staff team: What's your structure?

[Izaya]

For us on my forum, there is me the owner(Jokingly referred to as Queen) and a Lead Admin who is essentially my second in command.

Then there are my Super Mods who are like min-admins(Similar to a Lead but they have less features and Lead admins can act independently of me without overruling me where as Super Mods cant make major decisions i.e. software upgrades/changes)

Then my moderators who handled forum stuff and are the social guys.
We have a Checks and Balance system where all people (including myself) can be checked and if necessary balanced/outruled In a decision IF the staff feels a member of the staff made an unjust decision (For example banning or deleting a user).

Then there is a 'trial' where all involved parties present their facts and an objective person usually decides on course of action. This is ideal because it prevents corruption as well as it gives lower ranked staff power to overrule higher leadership without fear of being attacked.

Depends on the niche of the forum. HogEx has so many staff groups it's unreal. However, it's a massive project.

Headmaster/Headmistress (Admins) Focus on the backend/front-end design, content, etc. Build custom pages and templates all over the site, sort users into their own houses, and much more.

Groundskeeper (Gmods) are global moderators over the Grounds area of the forum.

Caretaker (Gmod) are global moderators over the Castle area of the forum

Global Moderators cover the majority of the forum to help out each team.

RP Team has a lot of responsibilities such as global modding of the RP side of things, teaching in the RP school and much more.

Support Team is responsible for answering any support related questions in the support board, bringing member ideas to the attention of the admins and more.

Editorial Team is responsible for writing and editing articles for three individual newspaper/magazine-like pieces on the site.

Professors write lessons and teach Hogwarts Classes

House staff is comprised of a Head of House, 1 Head Boy, 1 Head Girl and 4 prefects that run the common rooms.

Then Moderators are hired and assigned to specific boards as needed.

LOL

On my forum there is....

Administrator = Takes care of the "behind-the-scenes" efforts of the community. When not doing that, assists global moderators with moderating the forum.

Global Moderator = Ensures that the ambiance of the forum isn't being harmed by spammers and rule breakers.

I do have idea's to hire other staff members but that won't happen until the forum grows to a more appropriate size.

On my forum it's...

Administrators
Community Manager (Head Moderator)
Community Moderator (Moderates the whole board)

I try and keep the amount of groups I have to minimum as it can get quite confusing. For my groups I have on my forum, I have only two staff usergroups and they are Global Moderators (Green) and Administrators (Blue). This has worked out okay for me in the past and I will keep it this way for now. In the future, I may consider changing it though.

On Website Forums, we have moderations, administrators, and developers. Their roles are pretty self-explanatory. Admins plan out the future of Website Forums, Moderators post and talk to members, and developers make WF better through coding and graphics.

My 2.1 million post forum I literally just had me as Admin and 1 person as a mod. however, it was a 10 year board that was closely moderated so We really didn't need much staff.

Now come down to this active gaming site I run, that just got over 8k posts last month, We run servers and the forums so the system is a little different. It manages several different servers within the community. It is as follows:

Founder - In charge of everything | Has the last say

Helpers - High Staff | Helps oversee all servers
Head Community Manager
Community Supervisor

Server Ranks - Ranks within individual servers.
Community Manager
Server Manager
Staff Manager
Server Admin
Server Moderator

Forum Ranks
Website Administrator - Works directly under the Founder | Oversees everything in regards to the websites and forums.
Head Forum Admin - Is in charge of the forum staff and moderation
Forum Admin
Forum Developer
Super Moderator
Moderator

Development Team - The people who create custom plugins and models, and maps for the servers
Project Manager
Developer

That system is a little more complex. But it is also a fairly decent size community that has to manage a dozen servers. The development team is sort of needed with a community that size as you need to constantly add custom stuff. And out sourcing it, is just not that cheap xD

Quite the system there I am impressed and definitely makes me want to reevaluate my own structure a bit.

Admins and Global Moderators, pretty simple. If I really need a head moderator or "mod leader" etc, I'll simply appoint them and they will get more permissions, they just will be in the same group and same rank bar.
