Is the administration allowed to accept gifts?

Basically what my title said.

I was just wondering if the SDMB administrators and moderators would be allowed to accept gifts from members if offered. Money, candy, kittens or pie alike. This isn’t something I want to do, but I was just curious and thought it was sort of a funny topic. I didn’t find anything related to this in the rules, besides how the Chicago Reader isn’t responsible for any real life contact between people on the board.

Hookers and blow gratefully accepted.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Moderators and Administrators receiving gifts. Bribery, of course, is a different matter altogether.

Maybe Ed Zotti, and the other editors could go out and have a nice lunch on us all? I mean 5000 subscriptions @ $15 a piece. Pays for a lot of French wine.

Yeah, they couldn’t possibly have anything else to spend it on.

I’ll take that as an attempt at humor, Iamonfire, since the money goes to the Chicago READER and there are business standards about what money can be spent on.

Yeah right, Dex, we all know it goes towards hookers and blow.

:wink:

Cecil always used the word unmarked. Just saying…

Sam, didn’t “nonconsecutive” enter into it someplace, too?

I’ve always wondered what a nonconsecutive hooker was…

I don’t see anything wrong with showering the Admin with lavish gifts. Not anything at all.
