Mod Power FYI

[PinkSquirrel]

A post on SO was reported at 9:18 and at 9:31 (after the alert would have come through) CJoy started this thread poof. She also C&P'd from the reported post in the thread.

[iammalcolmx]

So it was C&P'ed BEFORE the Mods got to delete it??? Also was there person information in the C&P? If it was a long thread and there was indeed personal information its very possible she C&P'd it without knowing such information was contained in the post.

[pixy0stix]

Again, what the fuck?

I know I'm not the bastion of propriety, but that's way the fuck over my line.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

It was C&P'ed before it was deleted but after enough info was revealed to know both people involved.

[PinkSquirrel]

The report on the mod page specifically said please delete due to personal information. She knew and C&Pd anyway

[vanillacourage]

OK - enough boards have their own preferences (ex: deleting at the OP's request) that there's been loose agreement on the mod board for the following to occur:
1. General board mods should only mod their own board
2. Global mods & admins should only step in (in lieu of that board's mod) in cases of spam or the posting of personal information.

So, even though you CAN modify posts on other boards, doesn't mean you should. Hence cjoy's "not my problem", though I don't like that phrasing.

Ellie and Y4M are admins - can mod on all boards, plus admin functions like seeing links between poster IDs and banning.

[PinkSquirrel]

The not her problem isn't the issue. It's the "And fair game until it's gone!" that's a problem.

[iammalcolmx]

Oh shit. I am going to sit here and not ask anymore questions.  :-#

I'm fine with the only mod-ing your own board, even if it means something stays up longer (I do think there is a way to handle that without crossing another mod's territory though if it is specifically requested), but C&Ping it to your own board for your own amusement seems kind of shady. Okay, a lot shady.

I'll join you at this table, but I'm stopping at the bar first.  Can I get you a drink?

[josieposy]

Ditto eclaires. I felt really squicky about it too.

Yes, please!  I need a drink... my ILs were here alllllllllllll weekend.

Mod overreach. Shocking.

I think we need a non-mod tribunal of members who can act as a check on mod power.

^^^^ government nerd alert.

that said, cjoy's a mod? how'd that happen?

Lofl. "That bitch?" I paid Ellie a lot of money for the honor. Also, people, I lurk all over the boards. I don't need a thread to be reported to c&p it (lofl at timestamps though - a lot of us don't get mod alerts anyway so whatever). I didn't c&p anything that hadn't been available for hours. And I don't mod other boards, so no, not my problem.

i can't imagine why i would wonder how you ended up being a mod.  eyeroll.

do you have a google alert out for yourself or something?

Do you honestly not see anything shady about being a moderator and copying shit containing personal information from another board onto your home board?  I don't even care how you found out about it - whether you were lurking or got an alert.

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.

*pops in with nothing to add except to make this comment slang*

What you mean is  ...

"Cjoy is a Mod? Where 'dey do that at?"

[pixy0stix]

I tagged cjoy in the mod board thread talking about this, which linked to this post.

Yes.  cjoy has never been known to hang out on CE&P.  I can't imagine how she found this thread.....that has been up for about an hour.  lol.

unless it involves ML mocking, then not lately she hasn't.  back on thenest?  absolutely. 

here?  nnnnnnotsomuch.

You are aware that you can read posts without posting?

The "OMG it's so weird you found us talking about you!" schtick is bizarre.

lol.  ok.  whatever.

I was under the impression that our agreement was any mod should handle spam/personal info if they see it first, regardless of the board, but that other issues, i.e. OP requests to delete or reported meanness, should only be handled by the board mod.

[y4m]

Just wanted to put this plug in...

If you've reported a thread but need quicker action, PM the user gbcnmods - that will email me, Ellie, and all the global mods. Hopefully we can get to personal info type things faster that way, if your board mod isn't available.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Also, I'm calling shenanigans that the info had been available for HOURS. Everything kind of spiraled in the copied thread in less than an hour. Probably thirty minutes before people started deleting their own posts and asking for the thread to be deleted and asking other people to delete the things they had said.

[smock]

Also, I received a rather frantic PM that night asking if I could delete the thread, as did several other mods. I didn't get the message until after it had been deleted because I was drinking on the job.

[eclaires]

yo, quit getting distracted with how c-joy found this thread, and surprise at her being a mod!

I don't care about either of those things. I'm more concerned about what the rules are here so I can follow them if I need something deleted. Thanks y4m for providing that username to PM!

So not only do you make up false stories about ELEPHANTS, you also drink on the job?

THE HORROR.

Please be my friend.

(and now I'm distracted, lol)

I know, I'm sure to go down in history as the worst GBCN mod of all time. *hangs head*

It's shameful, smock. You're as bad as Luther.
