Tip:
You don't need a huge team for a small forum.
If I see that list.. owner, admin, 2 normal mods, 3 chat mods, a global mod.. 8 staff, for how many members is that? We have 30.000+ people here on this forum, a few hundred of which are very active, and just 10 or so staffmembers that do the moderation/administration. Do you expect 100's of post on a daily bases from these members? Cause that's why there are that many here, to deal with the workload. But your team seems to expect a similar load. Which sounds a bit.. well.. optimistic. No offence, just perspective.
You'll have a good chance to end up arguing amongst yourselves or end up moderating each other due to the lack of actual members. Seen it a few times now. No disrespect intended, but unless your team is very mature, responsible and most important coolheaded, you'll get conflicts, no doubt.
I don't mean to sound like a critic, but it's just that we have seen forums set up, and taken down, a lot of times, due to staff troubles, that also actually scared members away. So it's just a bit of advice to you guys.
Regards,
Fred
