What is the ratio of mods:members on your forum, For us it is about 1:112 right now, that is not including the administrators, just SawanM.
2:6 Thats Myself and Half Pint... The rest members... (not included is vbskins as i dont see any chance of posting as it was only created for my skin help!) Nice work on the number 4 spot!
I got about 1 staffie on 560 members, more or less. These are mainly the general mods. If you would only count the admins + 2 community mods, it would be about 1 on a 1000, almost XD.
I could handle the whole forum myself (apart from some directory sorting stuff), if I needed to. It seems roleplaying folk are a lot easier to handle then most people who join up on forums. Roleplaying itself already has a lot of unspoken rules about posting and stuff, so they bring that to my forum too. There is of course sometimes one member that jumps out, but that is taken care of quite quickly. We've never had any huge problems, and up until now I'd only had to ban 2 or so members (were open since february 2006).
That's pretty good. It is like that with this board also, since all of the members also have a forum and have good forum manners and know what to do, the only problem is people who own them damn gaming forums, they are barbaric. (I'm just kidding, there's nothing wrong with gaming forums, but it always seems gaming forums are the hardest to administer just with the crowds it brings.)
I always try to keep it relatively low. On one of my larger forums I have exactly 1,600 members. I'm the only real administrator, with another, but with limited powers. Then there is 2 super moderators - one that was actually added late last night. There's been more though, and we have used normal moderators before too. But right now it is working out just fine and we're actually considering adding one more super moderator.
