DO NOT'S:
Ignore Members! If you ignore members its not going to make them feel too good and they will leave. Even if someone is criticising your forum don't throw a hissy and start banning them or ignoring them as they are telling you what they feel. Thats a good thing!!
Make the rules crazy! An example of this is: You must post 10+ times a day, you must login everyday, you must create 2 threads a day etc. This is crazy and out of line! You may want to have these rules but trust me, you won't get many members if your that strict on them. Your not their mothers.
Let members fight in threads I see a lot of this on forums and its happened on my other one as well. Members fighting in threads isn't a good look for your forum.
Be rude to members This is a obvious one and if your rude to a member they will just leave.
Hope that you never do any of those on your forums!!
