I ran across this in the Jr Mod forum. I didnt think you could be considered for moderator if you moderated a diffrent forum,

i don't go on it much either, the addresses are exactly as same as the ones on fanmail.biz, i know you're a GREAT mod there though!! i'm trying to save up for one of those hockey home address books since hockey players don't mind sending through their homes, i live in canada so it's going to take me forever too make $29.00 lol.

Really? I never knew that. :o
Well I went over and did a bit of searching. Sure enough, dgangel is a moderator there. That site could be considered a "competitor" to fanmail.biz so I'm not sure about what should be done with regard to him.

For easy reference, the forum url for Movieeye is:
http://celebrity-forums.movieeye.com/

If anyone wants to see for themselves, the above link will save you some time looking for the forum link.

It may be best to wait for Admin to come and decide what to do. :|

Hi guys {up}

Yes jdp3577 is strictly-speaking right. If you are an active moderator on another forum this is really against the rules :|

I will pass the matter on to Admin for the final decision. However, dgangel does say "I dont really go on it as much anymore though. . . " so it might just be a case of clarifying that point :|

Thanks for raising it though.

So if you are a moderator of another forum, you aren't supposed to be a moderator on here? Hmmm...that's the first I've heard of this.
