What strategies should I use to manage a busy online forum effectively? How can I ensure users follow rules while encouraging active participation? Are there specific tools or moderation techniques that work best?

I am a moderator on a forum with over one million posts and 16 thousand users. If you are managing an active forum, you need to be very active on the forum, you need a lot of staff that not only check content quality but also monitors conflicts.
