Hey all,

Long story shortened, I run a blog dedicated for audio downloads & audio related apps etc.. etc.. I won't mention the site as it's not needed in this thread.

I used to run this site as a hobby for about 2yrs , whilst i had a REAL life job as an computer engineer. So money wasn't a problem nor it wasn't a priority. I just loved discovering new music each day.

As the site got popular, there was more demand from the visitors, so i was having less time to comit to the site (because of my day job too).

So i attracted some new editors (uploaders) by posting a notice message on the site's homepage (something that scene blogs do too when they need new editors). This goes well however.

But why is it that we always seem to easily accepted new people in to your site who sound very promising to their commited, but few weeks later they become less commited and basically lazy?

Also some editors only want to be part of the site just to get a "status" or to make money from the filehosts they upload music too. What happend to loyalty ?

Some of them only help around IF i pay them a wage. (But no i dont, my job pays the hosting & bandwidth)

Don't get me wrong, I've met over 100 editors that contributed on my site but i've had to sack them all every week, and I simply don't have time to teach new editors how to post properly and expect them to become uncommited after a few weeks. ]
(PS. some of them don't even have MSN/IRC/GoogleChat, due to their timezones this becomes hard to communicate)

So how do you guys deal with people like that ? & the fact running sites is never a "ONE-MAN" kind of thing ?


Edit: I just realized i've typed up a very long topic lol.
