No there is not a Vietnam Official Support Forum sorry.
Most of our pro Admin's work in the head office in France and as far as i know we do not have anyone in that office to offer the full support of a Vietnam Official Support Forum.

Where is the Greek's Official Support Forum? Located in France?(Along with the other support forums?)

Support forums need a Pro Admin who knows French and the language of the official support forum.  This is one of the requirements for an official support forum.  The Pro Admin is someone who exactly works in the company's office.

Well not nessecarily a pro staff, but atleast a very trusted volunteer (someone who has been with fm for years), such as the greek support forum which I believe is headed by our one and only @Luffy and also I believe the portugese support forum and/or the italian support forum headed I believe by @Niko , I believe those support forums dont have a pro admin per say, but an admin who can get in communication with one.

Unless I am wrong?

Hello,

As member of staff of the Greek community, we're as official as other support forums are ( Arabic, English, French, Italian, Spanish etc.). We do not have a Pro Admin who works in Nice, France, but we are in daily contact with the Pro Staff. @Luffy knows Greek and English, just like our second Administrator and I know Greek, English and French. So we can communicate easily and fast enough to provide the best support for our users!

So, I have a question. Only Admins from France can become Admins here? What about the other support forum admins?

Akati wrote:So, I have a question. Only Admins from France can become Admins here? What about the other support forum admins?

Nope, Sanket was once an administrator. As for the other support forums, I believe that administrators can be from anywhere. Luffy is an administrator in the Greek Support Forum and he's from Greece.

Hello, as many mentioned i am not from France but from Greece. You can be from wherever you want as long as you are trusted by someone who is in the company. You need to gain their trust and work really hard in order to be trusted by the company and become an official support forum of the company. I made the Greek support when i was a staff member here and got all the permissions from Buttercup in order to create a forum that is under the authorities of the company.

@Luffy, do you Administrate the Greek Support Forum? Or when your busy does another admin take over?

Akati wrote:@Luffy, do you Administrate the Greek Support Forum? Or when your busy does another admin take over?

@Akati yes i do. If i am busy i inform my staff and they know i am busy at that time. No one else takes over my role.

@Luffy, if you had a choice to become an Pro Admin here or a Manager, which would you choose? Also on which support forum are you active the most? English Support or Greece?

Akati wrote:@Luffy, if you had a choice to become an Pro Admin here or a Manager, which would you choose? Also on which support forum are you active the most? English Support or Greece?

I wouldn't mind either one and i couldn't choose. I'd personally stay as i am at this phase but if and when this happens we shall see what i'll choose!
I am more active on the Greek support but still i am active here also!

How many Pro-Admins is required to administrate the Greek Support Forum? And what is the maximum amount? Also can there be more then 2?

If by pro admins you mean the admins on ForumGreek we are two at the moment. Me and a friend of mine that i trust fully. He helps and together we made the Greek Support like this! It can be as many as needed. At the moment we don't need more than two but we are looking for other staff as Support Mods Graphic Designers etc..

Can some people at the Greek Support Forum speak English or just you?

There is also @Nemo who is a staff there so yes there are others.

@Brandon_g, what would you do if you weren't a support moderator here?

Akati wrote:Can some people at the Greek Support Forum speak English or just you?

Propably a lot of them know how to speak English but instead of coming here and getting support in English, there's now the Greek Support where they can speak their language and understand fully what we mean!

I would do the same thing I have always done. I was a member for the longest time before I became staff. I believe you were even here when I was still a member .

What made you start a forum?

I forgot, it was so long ago since I started the one I have now. Probably for fun though.

Why did Forumotion even want a review section?

Akati wrote:Why did Forumotion even want a review section?

So that we can review your forum and tell you what looks good and what doesn't. Also this is a good way to learn what others like and what you should focus on them and make your forums even better for the public and for whatever you want the forum you own have.

How long have you been apart of the support forum? And when was the support forum made?

Well, the longest i've been apart is like 30 days or something but not when i was a staff member. The forum i think was created at 2005/02/17
