🦋 To Admin and Mods of Meta Engagers

Jun 1, 2022

In a post that 🦋 made today, it is mentioned that the admin of a BBS trying to build his BBS has to understand human behaviour and what motivates 👫👬 to do what they do.

Have you wondered why a person with a high paying job give it up to do something that hardly earn any income?Or why a graduate with an engineering degree become a waiter at a fast food joint?Or why people give huge donations to charities?Or why some 👫👬 go all religious?Whether you are an employer seeking to motivate your employees, a teacher trying to get your students to learn or a BBS admin trying to build your BBS, understanding human behaviour and motivation can help you to achieve your goal.Almost anyone who has studied on managing 👬👫 will have heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.Human needs and motivation is often represented by a pyramid.A pyramid is stable because it has a big base and rises to an apex.Only after satisfying the needs at the base will man try to satisfy needs higher up on the pyramid.For example if you do not have enough money to buy water or food, you will not try to buy or rent a luxurious house.Learning about Maslow's hierarchy of needs do not need to be a boring management subject.Below is a video that has summarised it in an interesting way

The admin and the mods have to get 👬👫 to join the BBS, make posts and comments, engage with one another, take part in competitions and other activities etc.

The admins and mods at Meta Engagers know much more than 🦋 what needs to be done and how to do it. Bravo to the superb team in Meta Engagers.

Some of the ordinary members of Meta Engagers may be struggling with a small BBS like 🦋.

Perhaps some members are thinking of starting a BBS. This post is meant for those like 🦋 or those who are thinking of starting a BBS.If the leadership team of Meta Engagers can help to educate us by commenting to add information to this post, that would be fantastic.

Thank you in advance dear admin , Mod 1, Favourite Mod and all the other Mods for your comments.We look forward to learn from you.

The basic human need is for food, 🍞🍗🍎🥚drinks,🍮🥤🍺 🚍, clothes 🎽👕🩳👖and shelter 🏡🏬. In order to fulfill these needs we need 💵. So one of the main reason 👫👬 join BBS is to earn 💵.So we must help them to earn💵. There are many things that can be done here. Giving CC as tips, rewarding posts and comments, competitions and activities to boost traffic, increasing CPM, rewarding recruiters, teaching new members to make posts and how to engage etc. Mods and admin, please add to the list. TQ.Be friendly with members and help members make friends with one another. Get them to introduce themselves, welcome them and make them feel at home 🏠 or part of a family.In BBS there are Banters, Villans, Degens etc. What are members of Meta Engagers? What family do we belong to or what should we proudly call ourselves?Why not have a competition to give ourselves a name that we are proud of?

Having friends and family is a higher need than having 💵 for our basic needs of food, clothing and shelter.

Another higher need is fun, entertainment and being able to enjoy ourselves. BBS communities should make it enjoyable to be there. Fun activities, challenges, games, funny posts, etc should be part and parcel of every community.

All work and no play make us dull or 💤💤

👬👫who are 💤💤 are not active
Talking about activities, challenges and competitions : what form of prizes do we give? CC, BBS tokens, pinning posts?

How are winners decided : by chance or by quality of contents?

The pinning of posts and choosing by quality of contents provide winners with recognition.

They give the winners a sense of satisfaction which is quite high up on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

With regards to the pinning of post for 1 day, the post gets unpinned the next day.

Why not have a special channel that members cannot post directly to.

The admin or mods will transfer the post of winners to that channel. Having a post on that channel is an honour. Think of the tremendous satisfaction a member will feel and the recognition he receives from the community if a person can get a lot of posts into such a channel.

It must be pretty high up on Maslow's hierarchy of needs

Currently we have badges for Mods and those who have been white listed. Why not come out with more badges to recognise quality. achievements, contribution to the community to honour those who merit such badges?

For example we have regular competitions for posts. Different badges can be given for most number of posts and posts of high quality. The badges a member has will be displayed next to his profile picture together with a number to show how many times he has won such a badge.

The above are proposals by 🦋
