Cliquish, opinionated, manipulative, never wrong. Took arguments with the people she didn’t like onto other forums.

If such a person behaved in a team like this, they would have to leave.

Unfortunately, they appear to have used your forums for their own competitive or selfish purposes and you would have a case to bring against them for damages based on using your business for their benefit.

I'm not sure you would want to do this, but i just say it. Pesonally, I would have a gentle word with this former moderator, ask her to withdraw from public comment and if there is resistance say that you will need to have the matter clarified through a lawyer's letter. [ Just my way of doing things ]. If it is business, whilst remaining decent at all times, friendship shouldn't come into it. They are seperate.

All things work better when there's good dialogue, consideration and understanding between you .... so good luck on this.

In a strong company, stakeholders appoint a board who in turn appoint a President / CEO and assist that person to appoint senior executives in specific roles.

The operation must work as a team, to a common objective along stated governance [ rules ] with good and respectful communication.

Translate this to how you would run your forums.
