How to keep your board professional

Here are the basics of how to keep your board professional:

Grammer
It is essential for your staff and administration to have correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. To your members, no one wants to see:

"Hey, are j00 doin? we n0w got 100 members, yeh! wcked m7 "
It shows disrespect towards your members and community and adds less professionilism to your board.

Staff
Have active staff members that will contribute to the forums, and they do there job. As stated before, make sure each staff members uses correct spelling, grammar, and puncuation.

Qualities of a bad staff member:
One who spams
One who doesn't follow your own board rules
Not enough time he/or her has contributed to the board
No loyalty
No creativity and innovation
If he/or her has these qualities, demote them. The staff can add professionilism to the board and can widely contribute it.

Appearance
The board's appearance adds up a wide amount of your professionilism. First of all have a custom skin, made by you or your staff, a custom skin helps it. Also make sure you have matching custom graphics to your skin. Also make your appearence matches your board's theme! These are the three basics to keep your board professional. With the correct staff, grammar, and appearance, you'll have one professional board!
