I feel this is one section that is sorely mission on vbsetup, sure we can discuss various issues about running a community in sections like monetizing vbulletin and other technical sections, however few discussions are best left for the community management section where we can discuss various aspects of running an online community.

I'll 2nd this suggestion
I agree that more discussion about managing your forum, members, staff and the overall administration of the forum would be good.

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Any progress on this?

[Brandon Sheley]

Maybe a subforum "forum management" under vb questions?
Or should it have it's own forum

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Dedicated forum would be better, then maybe it can have further subforums to discuss various other aspects of running a community.

[Brandon Sheley]

any idea on subforums?
I can do some research for some articles to fill the forums at least with a post or two each

[Ki Adi Mundi]

Maybe forum optimization discussion. Perhaps a section on training staff? In reality, it is kinda hard to train people to work for you, for free, and do it well.

Also, maybe a section on admin etiquette- relationships between the administration and its staff, as well as admin to member interactions, and even etiquette from admin to other site admins.

[Brandon Sheley]

good ideas, so as far as forum optimization, it wouldn't be the same info in the seo optimization thread?

[Yogesh Sarkar]

How about a section which deals specifically with advice on how to deal with unrest, revolt and troubled members? Maybe we can have that section accessible to only verified vBulletin forum owners so that the hesitation some might have while discussing such matters in public is taken care of?

A section on troublemakers is good. I have a quite a few of them maybe like 6 on my forum who are everyday posters and dont want to ban them or else their goes half of my posts. Lmao..

[Brandon Sheley]

sounds good, we can add a private forum as well

we have a thread in the mod room discussing the final layout, keep the suggestions for forum management coming

[Brandon Sheley]

Okay, I'm going to make a new community management forum and a few subforums under.
Any suggestions for a good description for the main forum.

[Greek76]

I see the section is up!

[Brandon Sheley]

yup, I still need to add a better description, and we'll add a few subforums as this area fills up.
