Yes. I threw my name out there when the post had been hanging out there without many replies, mainly as a "hey i can help if need be". I don't really get all the campaigning.

You got my vote! Please be kind to the MM Makeup board & don't delete us

Insert zombie hug!

I have no issue with the MM makeup board - the board voted and *cough* mods should respect that. . Each board has its own flavor.

Someone asked Hindsight what she would sell in her Etsy shop and Hindsight said "redacted" but she didn't in fact say "redacted," she said knitted blankets or something only to have her comments edited by Pixy, the power hungry PCE mod who hates the MM Makeup board. A vote for Pixy is a vote for censorship and craziness.

I'm crying here.

Why is this person so popular?

what does a global mod do? How is it different than the specific board mods?

I think the idea is they could do the same things, but on any board. So, if there's spam on ML and no ML mod is around, you can call the global mod in.

They also have the power to create (and delete ) boards.

I really don't care though and wanted there to be people outside of PCE because while I like that board, they can gang up on you like no other board.

In my GBCN-topia, the three global mods would consist of one MLer, one MMer, and one CEPer (and preferably posters who venture regularly to other boards).

But this is not my GBCN-topia.

[Kore]

y4m is currently a global mod, and she's a regular on CEP.

Does ML have a favorite? flexie? Or is she still on the outs?

[Deleted]

Maybe we're going about this thing all wrong. Maybe instead of electing leaders we should be having a Constitutional Convention first?

This is all very funny. Take a step back and look from a helicopter view.

Wait. There are already global mods?

Who are they?

It's super funny!

But I also think it's great. I think this whole migration and establishment of a new community with some semblance of order is pretty fascinating stuff.

Bullshit. ML is fiercely loyal to ML and ditto MM.

I call shenanigans!

Hahahahahahahahaha!

ESD posts on ML fairly regularly and she's been around a long long time.

[Deleted]

WHY DO I NEVER REMEMBER ANYBODY?

No, seriously. Why do I not know who esdreturns is, and everybody else does?

Someone please give me some salient details.

I think y4m may be the only one right now? Along with the site creator, Ellie, who is Administrator.

Good question, but it didn't stop there. A day or so after she redacted Hindsight's comment, Pixy went on to advertise another user's published book (including a link to buy it).

I voted for CJ and vanillacourage

Me too. If you don't really want to be global mods, let me know so I can change my vote before it's too late.

[cahabalily]

dude...we can retract our votes?!

Fascinating...

Oh, wait. Did Piggy die?

I can't remember.

Regardless, we will kill SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Piggy's death was an accident but they full out killed Simon.

Y4m is getting a promotion (ha!) to admin. No voting for that since she's pretty much the reason this board exists--y'all just have to deal with her. Good thing she's awesome.

Have I mentioned that I think you're the coolest, Ellie? Because you totally are!

[Muddled]

Miso, I am trying to think of a way you would know ESD, but she hasn't done anything scandalous or super-dramatic, so I don't know what to tell you. (I consider that to be a good thing.)

She posts on TIP and ML. She is always online. She has 2 kids, but stopped PIPing them when TN started sharing photos and such. She feels that non-moms can have opinions too. What else...

[pixy0stix]

I'm taking this too personally, but I can't help but say this:

As a nest mod I am required to edit out certain content. I explained this several times in several ways on the board. However, people are only going to remember what the rumor mill provides, so I can't help that. I cannot and will not mod to popular opinion. What if the general consensus was to keep one of your addresses out there because, "you deserved it." Should the mod bend because everyone else thinks it's ok?

Yes, I'm human. Yes, I like getting into arguments. There is arguably, and yes, even etsygate, not one time I have abused my mod power. But I have edited out several (and I mean several) pieces of identifying information from many different boards because 1) people could get in touch with me, and 2) because they knew I would do something.

So yeah, whatever, I'm a mod on a power trip and being mean.

[beebeeeater]

Editing HS's post about what she would hypothetically someday sell in an as-yet-uncreated Etsy store was over the top. There's no way around that.

[Muddled]

Pixy, could you maybe possibly just admit you made a mistake and move on? If you are trying to win votes with that post, I don't think it's going to work.

Go ask HAB about it, because she gets it. She was angry at me, which I understand, but we kissed and made up. TN has very strict policies regarding what is permitted in mentioning businesses. You don't have to believe me, but it's there. You cannot mention your business in any capacity, not even in the hypothetical.

[imoan]

Not helping your case at all here, pixy.

I actually DID admit to making a mistake, SEVERAL FREAKING TIMES! As for the MMM board, I even waved the flag up there.

Pixy is always around, always responsive, and gets.shit.done in a real emergency like personal info. That's more important to me than Etsygate (which was ridiculous).

And there are other mod options who would (and have) done the exact same things. MINUS EtsyGate and throwing a fit about MM making a beauty-related subboard. We can have someone who manages to be an excellent mod WITHOUT all this other bullshit that pixy seems to bring to the table.

[broc]

TBH I think Etsygate was way less about the editing of the post moreso than it was turning around within a day and posting 3 different links where someone else's self-published book was available for purchase, then couching it in the whole, 'well, I'm a mod and know the rules which haven't been defined for the unwashed masses, and TN is okay with this.'

Also, in just about every instance Pixy has listed as an asset for herself WRT editing spam, personal information, and general modding experience I have it on good authority ESD was right there doing the same... it's just that ESD is allergic to aggrandizing and self-promotion. So I'll do it for her. lol.
