Running a forum often requires significant effort from admins and moderators. How do you ensure your staff doesn’t burn out from handling issues and tasks? Do you rotate duties, offer incentives, or implement community-driven moderation?

If you are paying staff, you can demand your staff to be active, however, if you are not rewarding yourself, it is wrong to demand from them. But I also believe the staff have moral obligations to remain active even when they are not being paid

You need to ensure balanced workloads, encourage breaks, and foster open communication. I also rotate tasks, set clear boundaries, and recognize staff efforts regularly to maintain motivation and prevent fatigue.

It is to have different sections. you need to have very active users. They do help to energized others. Give them incentives to keep them interested

Rotate responsibilities, encourage breaks, and recognize their efforts. Keep communication open and offer support when needed. Avoid overloading anyone, spread tasks fairly. A motivated, appreciated team stays healthier and more committed to your forum’s success.
