Now I have a problem.
I wanted to change my forums completely. New theme, new rules new everything.
Since this would be such a big overhaul, I started asking my long term members what they would think about it. Everyone is positive about the change, giving me some suggestions that I totally agree on. Now the problem comes from the unsuspected. Two of my moderation team are strictly against a change, and I dont see a reason why they would be. I note that I have 7 Moderators, 5 of which are positive about the change. 2 negative.
I pay everything out of my pocket, they are just moderators. I would now say that 80 to 90 % of my members are up for the change, except for those 2. Makes me feel really bad as I already was about to get going on working those new stuff out.
They also criticise me for not asking them before asking the long term members.
