Just an FYI that with the recent PB changeover/update/whatever that was, all mods now have the power to edit/delete posts on any board. I think generally we are letting the specific board mods handle their own board's activity so as to avoid controversy, but if there is something that is clearly spam, it's up for grabs regardless of board assignment. I also think that if someone specifically requests a deletion of their own post, any mod can do that. I'll leave it to Ellie or y4m to correct me if I'm wrong.

That's all. Carry on.
LOL, I figured that out when I kept hitting "modify" instead of "quote" on this board, when I didn't have "modify" powers before.
I've also been getting all the reported thread notifications, but they were never for "my" boards, so I read to be nosy, and left the decision up to somebody else, lol.

On the app I always have "modify" to edit my own posts.
Report the thread. It's the fastest and easiest way to get a response, rather than running around trying to find a mod.
Except that it isn't anymore.
Your best bet seems to be to make friends with a mod you trust and can contact outside of FB.
I don't understand what you mean. If you report the post we all get notified immediately. Then it gets taken care of immediately. No one has to go hunting for the specific post you're talking about, it's right within the report.

Unless a mod finds it amusing enough to post onto their homeboard instead of deleting it as requested.
So if I post something and want it deleted, I can ask any other mod if pixy or y4m isn't around?

oh okay. I read something on ML (the SO drama about the wife and GF being on GBCN) and one of the mods there said a reported post wasn't her problem or something to that effect.

Oh, you're fucking kidding me. That person shouldn't be a mod anymore. Really?!

This exactly is why I'm concerned about having a global agreement. Otherwise we may be opening ourselves up to a clusterfuck.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

Sorry pixy, I meant to quote and edited your post instead, I took what I was saying back out. Damn quote and edit being so close
Like others have said, some mods are now using the alert as a means to find posts to C&P, which I think everyone can agree is an issue

We all get notified, but some Mods have started using the report feature as means to find posts to C&P

Whaaaaaa?
Sorry that was me saying that and fucking up quote/edit, but yes, on Friday, Cjoy got an alert and decided to post about it on ML. And she said it was fair game until someone took it down.

Wait, all mods have global powers now? In that they can act as a mod on all boards? Are Y4M and Ellie still Super Mods in comparison with the IP address business and whatnot?
Yeah, there was some big post on ML about a thread on SO where the girlfriend of some dude discovered his wife was a GBCN poster somehow. Apparently it was reported, but c-joy posted about it on ML and then later said deleting it even though the SO post had been reported wasn't her problem.

Yes, and as far as I know they're the only ones that can ban.

I am confused what did Cjoy post?
There was a thread over the weekend on SO that involved two people involved with the same person. Once the thread "outed" both people, there was a scramble to get it deleted. Cjoy C&P'ed it over to ML, where it was then debated there.
I'll delete this later if we need to erase it all from collective memory, but it struck me as shady for a mod to do this.
