Well if the admin staff can oversee the site well then the admin can just visit and check.

if there are other staffs to help him run the site, then i could say that he can take lesser time to spend on his website. however, he should still be active enough to watch on how the site is going and should always be there when there is a problem that needs to be solved.

Exactly, and most forums have moderators who keep helping the admin with site dutoes. If they help, why does he or she have to be active all time..

A lot of people say an admin should the most active person on the forum. However, I believe if you have a good staff, you really do not need to be all that active and can spend your time doing other jobs like promoting and advertising. What are your thoughts?

An admin needs to be proactive so as to answer any query by the users. The person should be active to keep the site running properly and orderly.

If you own a site, you must be very active on your site. Its your site and you should be protecting it from spammers and hackers.

[Chameli]

Whether you own a user generated content site or your own blog where you are the only one creating content, you need to be very active.

Without an active admin no forum can be a success. Regarding any dispute it is admin who is needed to respond fast and accurately.

every online earnings site need active admin for keeping any changes and improvements and solutions to problem

[sofs]

The fact that an admin is not active or even slow to respond to members complaints or requests sends out negative messages to members. It could mean that their interest in the site is declining and they do not consider their site worthy of their time. Personally I would be wary of working on such a site. I would try to reach payout and take away my money ASAP.

[jackchun]

usually you have invest much time and earn some money in your account, but not withdraw yet from inactive admin site, how you would decide then ?

Once, I was allowing auto posting on my site. I manually checked the published articles and it the article violated the rules, I deleted the article. Once I was very busy and could not visit my site. The on the third day I discovered that there were more than 50 spam article.

True spammers have a hey day when admins are not around. Trolls too mess around with sites that aren't hawk eyed by admins.
Admins are the soul of a site , the uniting force who keep every thing on track. It is going to be a tough site to work on if the admin is laid back.

That is way almost all making content sites don't allow autoposting. They are always target of spamers or they go into scam.

[anilmr]

Yes, I feel being an Admin, he certainly needs to be active that the T&C of the forum are being strictly adhered to. Besides being a strict taskmaster, he should also come across as a friendly bloke, who besides giving warnings should also indulge in some friendly discussions, and should also help out other forum members requiring assistance.

Admin must monitor all activities considering that leader should lead by example

[johnywalker]

If you own a site, you should be active on your site. If you are not active, your site might be prone to hackers and spammers.

As an admin, even though you cannot be acive 24 hours always, you have to make sure that you can be more engaged with everything. Even with the concerns of the users or followers of the site.

[Ash]

Like said above, you don't need to be on there 24/7. However, you should try to stay active on your site when you can to ensure it isn't being filled with spam/bad content and that everyone is having a good time.

[augusta]

Yes, a site admin need to be active especially on an earning site that needs one answering to query and setting the record straight. It will do everyone a whole lot of good.

[JASPREET]

Not the most active but they should be active to answer questions asked by the users of the website and to help them in case any problem arise. Good staff also helps the admin because staff can answer the questions too.

Indeed. The admin must focus on addressing the issue encountered by their member or users so that these users can remain active. Ignoring the clients might disappoint them and probably encourage them to quit the forum site.
