Staff Posting Competition

[Catzsy]

Mods are actually required to hit at least 40 posts a week as part of their dutiess and this has been in place for well over a year. I do think alll staff should have some sort of quota right to the very top. Let's face it if the staff don't do it then why expect anybody else too? The Rep system has only just been introduced for mods. Also I don't think the DJ explanation is plausible at all. Maybe one forum may not welcome them with open arms but there are plenty of others to post in. Why even be given a job on a forum when you cba to post virtually at all?

The rep system sounds like a very good idea (DESPITE THE FACT I AM NOT GAINING FFS - joking). I don't think staff should be forced to post, as it will only make staff quit - which we don't want. However, rewards such as the rep system, could be put in place to encourage staff to post.

Seriously if you want a job on a forum then you should be required to actively communicate with the members. This is a community website. Mods have targets? Why is it different for everybody else?

But do you actually enforce that?

I agree with that if you are a Forum Mod you should at least post around in the section you moderate in.

I don't enforce anything. LOL I have to do it too but it is enforced by the management.
When the staff had a spam thread there was never any shortage of staff posting which is why
I suggested in another thread that we have spam threads in every major section because it would liven up the forum and I feel make it more popular. @ Andy, there is no difference between us and other staff - if you want a job then you should contribute to the whole community not just stick to one role.

I'm pretty sure the staff posting competition was tried before, can't remember if it had any good results or not though. I think the only people that would take part in the staff one is the usuals that already post around the forum and I'm sure they would have entered the one for everyone.

I never take part in the spamming competitions because I find it pretty pointless and boring tbh.

Think i've holded my say back for long enough.

Management do enforce this without a doubt, see below.

This is what we are always encouraged to do, after all why moderate a section if your not interacting with the users within it, i also find it helps you get-to-know other users, and generally their humour, when i was moved into a new section i was familiar with anyone and with these nicknames everyone made for each other i generally thought they was eing rude about specific user(s) until i got-to-know and knew they was nicknames for each other,

Rosie, I do agree with you - but after being flamed constantly for this view in the past, you have to look at the other side of the coin.

If the staff members were paid - it should be forced. But they aren't - so as long as they are doing their jobs fine, I don't think forcing them to post is really fair.

So if you were not to post on a regular basis, and you kept not posting on a regular basis, would you lose your position?
