Staffing Admin, Mods and Staff

[Samantha 64]

We decided when we started the site that the admins would only be the people who were there at the beginning and who started the site. For us, that started out with 4 people and turned into 2 people after a few months. We also decided that all four of us would be admins at the beginning and we wouldn't have moderators or other staff just because we wanted everyone to know that we all shared the power equally and there wasn't one person who did more or had more power than the others. 

 

Fast forward to now, we have 2 moderators because with only two admins we were starting to feel the stress of running an active site with only a couple staff members. So this is how it breaks down:

 

Admins: My self and one other person. We handle the staff run events, member disputes or drama, approve character applications, and basically anything in between. 

Moderators: prune threads (move old closed threads to the archives) and update lists. We also consult with them on how to handle member drama/issues and keep them in the loop on everything, becasuewhile they don't handle it, they're still staff and we want to keep them informed. 

 

Both mods and admins will answer member questions and help with plots and all that so there isn't really a huge difference between mods and admins on our site.
