Question Do you announce the forum staffs?

Hey people,
If you have a forum and you appoint some staff,do you announce them to the public?I think it should be a big event!

Sometimes. and sometimes not.
It's really a personal preference.

Like here, I announced the moderator position of Xavier and Kushagra,
in the News and Announcements Forum . But forgot to do the same for Snazi.


My periodic table contains only 1 element : the element of Surprise.

I announce that they are chosen, but I don't give away the name.

In order to view the user level, one has to click their profile. I don't use PhpBB, I coded my forums myself, so I run things a bit different.

Well when i used to run a forum , i announced every thing , every event so if you ask me i would announce new staff because it make the members feel more comfortable knowing that the staff has a new member.

I always make an announcement, and this is very important in my opinion as it lets your users know what's going on.

I did not announce, because members would SPAM the staff, and would cause so many issues...

I am a Super Moderator here, Good Luck and best Wishes.
