#admining

[kathy-fraggle]

I'd kinda like to make a community, but in past experiences I've been pretty terrible at admining. I just make a group and post in it every now and then like a regular member. I can take the lead sometimes, but as an admin you've got to be on practically all the time.

"I'm the admin" is not reason enough to have something your way.

I love being an admin. 

I absolutely love creating a world and the characters in it and getting the opportunity to bring it to life and share it with people. I love setting up the main and editing day after day to make sure each little detail is just right. I love writing the bios and feeling yourself grow attached to each and every character. And I love seeing people respond so eagerly, ready to help tell the story along with me.

I love it to death but sometimes admins are asked too much.

Remember that they have lives outside of the roleplay. And that they can't always be there to write another character or do acceptances when you want. They can't always be on the dash, posting or answering starters. But that doesn't mean the dash as to stay quiet or the members have to lurk. 

Sometimes when the admins says no you have to respect their choices. You may not like that they won't make a change to the faceclaim or a change to their biography but you have to remember that this is their baby. They've put effort, thought, and a countless amount of time into each and every aspect. You don't have to like their decision but you have to respect it. Work with them, not against them. (Admins work with your roleplayers as well!)

And sometimes admins need to remember to take a step back. 

That next character graphic can wait. You don't have to post a starter if you're tired or upset, even if the dash is slow. You don't need to stalk freehostedscripts at every moment. School is important. Your family and friends are important. Leaving the computer and living life is important.

Being an admin can be great. Many of us love our roleplays and cherish them to death but realize your limits. Take a step back every once and awhile and focus on yourself.

Even when I quit being an admin, I can't quit being an admin.

Started writing bios for another roleplay. Call me addicted.

I admin a roleplay and two players are having a lot of issues OOC. But one of them has been around for a while and I don't want to punish them. What should I do?

Well, if you know that they're violating the rules, I'd say you'd have to give them a warning. Tell them it's not personal, that it's admin duties. If it continues, you might have to mediate the situation.
