    Giving this announcement a Sunday bump! AND, I have a question for y'all...

    DO YOU THINK IT'S UNFAIR THAT MODS CAN'T PARTICIPATE?

    I feel bad for having to exclude the mods from participating in this. They give freely of their time and energy to help keep things running smoothly around here, but then aren't allowed to actually win anything when we have something to give away. But the appearance of "playing favorites" if one of the mods won can be quite damaging.

    Of course, we'd still keep the admins out of it, that's entirely different. But the mods are regular members of the site that have been given a few extra "powers" to help keep the site in good order.

    What do y'all think?

    I don't have a problem with it. Staff shouldn't be included in contests just to know its fair.

    However with that being said..................... we need a "throwing myself on the ground kicking and screaming temper tantrum" thingy.

    Why not just have a drawing on a third book that is strictly for the admins, mods, staff and bump the ticket price up a little to cover the fewer number of tickets against.

    I think mods and admins should be allowed to participate. I'm not going to be upset if they win. Let em play!

    I agree with the rest. I don't see a problem with mods having a crack at this. I guess the whole point was to show users that there was no funny business going on if a mod won, but I don't think that would ever happen on this site!
