    Moderators, enter contests?

    As many of you know, at least one forum doesn't allow the moderators to participate in contests. This never really sat to well with me personally watching other folks have a chance at winning stuff. I mean, if the owner keeps the contest honest, what could be wrong with the guys that help you every day being able to participate right along with everyone else? Obviously, whoever is giving a prize away, shouldn't enter.

    I won't ask you to post here. I am going to assume that most people would be ok with this. But if you have a problem with it, I ask that you email me about this.

    I want this forum to be fun and fair for everyone, and that starts by getting input from you all when I am in doubt about how something would be perceived.

    I know how I feel about this. I mean moderators give a lot of themselves for the good of forums, and more importantly, their members. Why shouldn't they have a chance to participate, as long as they are not a part of the selection process?

    Thanks,

    Lex,

    FWIW - I'm in total agreement. The moderators put in a lot of time/effort to make forums work.
    Let 'em play. Just as long as they understand that the Braveheart disc is my prize.

        Thanks Bob and Pat. So far, I haven't received any mail concerning this. So, as of right now, it's a go. But I will still listen to the members

        Thanks,

        Lex

                    by Lex
                    Please see DVD lotto for winner of Ronin and a couple of new contests from Alpha DVD. Long overdue, I know. Sorry.

                    It is with great regret that I announce Alpha DVD will no longer sponsor HTG after the end of this month. At that time, Ralph will no longer be retailling DVDs from his website...

                    Contest Prize?
                    by aaron
                    I have been on vacation for the week with my family. Yesterday, the doorbell rings and I find the Fedex man waiting outside. He needs a signature for a package. I had not ordered anything which was odd. He then said, "I don't know why the shipper would need a signature required for a DVD"....
