Stressful Situations

[Randy]

How do you turn a stressful situation around on a forum?
Are you good at fixing them or do you tend to make things worse?

Depends

As for getting members to stay active that's impossible in my methods of promoting.

How do you turn a stressful situation around on a forum?

Can be a tricky thing to accomplish sometimes.

Sometimes its possible to turn things around instantly and sometimes not, at least not right away...

You should try to resolve whatever is causing the stress, then try to get everyone to move on with their lives. Stressful situations on forums are usually temporary and people will get over stuff eventually. Time is a great healer.

I agree that it's tricky and sometimes requires a lot of time and effort to make everyone happy, or at least come to some sort of agreement. In the past, I might not have been as willing, but as I began to run my own forums and had to deal with several different people, it became important that I stopped and took into consideration every aspect. It's important to come into situations without bias, a neutral party, but sometimes some people just are incapable of pleasing.
