[*]Actually give Staff positions out to people who are active and deserve them. People like Sharpshooter (My new fav poster), Straightedge, Airfixx, Montana and others. Give people complete control over a few sections and let them decide the rules/punishments for those sections (& If someone complains about spam/trolling/useless posts then take it up with the mod(s) who are in charge of those sections. Have 2 or 3 people in charge of the wrestling sections (JB, Montana and someone else). Have someone in charge of Casual & serious discussion and have people in btb/reviews and other stuff. But appoint active members. Keep some of the current staff. Also, i suggest keeping the SMods as they are. Perhaps appoint a 2nd admin since Mike's on his own.
I may agree at least 1 admin is needed, I don't agree on any of the nomitations for a promotion.
Meh, not really for it, but if someone wants to...[*]Encourage members to post & advertise threads. Organize a weekly "Thread of the week" contest and the winner would get his name in a different colour (Colour is their choice).
No. Just because you are not part of it, it doesn't mean it's useless.[*]Get rid of the "applying for Troll-U / VIP". I think it would be easier and better for members to automatically get those shit when they get to 1/2000 posts.
I already stated before, scaring away new members will guarantee you a ban.[*]Don't let members drive away other members. Inform the member that you will stop the trolls from trolling you & If the trolls don't leave him/her alone, Infract & Temp ban.
