My forum has an extremely small moderation team, and I need your
help to make it larger! Please join my forum and apply to be a
moderator, administrator, or board monitor if you are
interested.
Staff that you can apply for:
Administrators: Administrators have access to everything on my
forum. Thry can edit anything that can also be edited,
including your profile.
Moderators: Moderators monitor my forum and make sure that it is
safe and secure. They can report users and put them on watch.
Board Monitors: Board Monitors monitor the boards and categories
of my forum. They give monthly (at least) reports stating the
most active boards and categories and how they are working out.
They can request that a board or category to be deleted due to
inactivity.

13 members have posted 130 times in 4 months - why would you
need all those moderators ?
and 119 of those posts came from you and one other

If my forum ever actually gets more members, I will need a team
prepared. If I get more members and I am not prepared with a
moderation team, it will all be on me and one other person. I
will have to somehow find a way to build my moderation team
fast. Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble. That's why I'm
starting now.

actually, it's the other way around. Build up your member base
and posts, then select a Mod from one of the respected members -
don't just 'advertise' the post and give permissions to someone
you don't know or trust. See other threads here where 'Mods'
have run away with control of your forum and blocked out the
original Admin.
Moderation of a non-commercial forum is easy and not time
consuming. Set up the censorship section to **** out offensive
or disallowed words etc.
Ask members to 'report' posts - pretty straight forward really

I'm going to have to agree with Wholesale.
I was on a site once, and I was the only moderator for a while,
until they got 500 members and around 10,000 posts. Only then
did the admin pick around 3 or 4 lower-ranked moderators to help
us out.

Thanks for the ideas. But how do I get more members? I'm even
working hard on a mainsite and making it really awesome, but
nobody sees it. Not even the members of my own forum will go
there. (At least not participate, with my knowledge.) All of
my forum members just have seemed to have joined, post about how
they really like the forum and all, and then they never come
back. I want to know how to get them to come back and how to
get more members.

More threads and posts which get people wanting to converse. I
pay content writers/bloggers to write interesting posts for me,
at about £5-£10 a time

Good idea, but how will anyone know that my forum is there?

Good quality, unique content gets noticed by google, so if
anyone searches keywords relevant to your site, google should
find you, and you then hope people click the link. But if no one
is searching for what your forum provides - you're stuck !
Is anyone searching for your site in particular ? What do you
have to offer ? I've looked - and left straight away. It don't
jump out and tell me what it's all about and awesomeness means
nothing to me !
Also, you need to totally change the way it looks, get rid of
the black - thats for gamers and devil worshippers. Put some
banners up. Get rid of the Ezblock home page - have you looked
at mine ?
Mines been up for 5-6 weeks now. Google 'Wholesale Chat Forum'
and my site comes up as first choice !
