Hey a question for the Mods, owner


Recommended Posts

Do you have to submit any Private information to become a Moderator, or Administrator of this forum?

I ask this because, on another forum, this issue is causing a BIG drama.

Thanks :)

email address, yes... but street adress, no.

why do you need to give information like that for a internet forum. its not like you are getting a packaged delivered.

im sorry, but if neowin asked for my address and all that, i would proly turn away and not do it.

there is just some stuff that should not be seen all over the web.

when you win the anniversary prize giveaway, you have to provide the street address. but then it all depends on whether the prizes are confirmed for the winners. ;)

thats crazy. Glad that kinda **** isnt happening here, although it would be interesting. I read a bunch of threads awhile back about some mod here who went all nuts and was flaming neobond and the rest. Making big threads dragging **** out into the public.

I moderate on another forum and even have a place on the development team (though I rarely have time to do any real development these days). Nobody ever wanted any personal information from me until about 2 years ago. Now they've got name, address phone number, birth date and contact info.

Tthey needed it to send me some plane tickets: the owner of the sight flew the entire staff to las vegas for a "staff meeting" and to E3 a year later. It's also convenient to have an address handy to find someone in a given city to give an interview when some random TV show or newspaper wants information.

Maybe they're is something special in the works for you guys?
