That SO post is on my home board where I am a mod. I was text messaged and asked to delete the post but it was an hour before I was able to and it was already deleted. (I was in a musical at the time).
I agree that what Cjoy did was super shady...even if she didnt find out about it through the alerts....
Apparently we also need to clear up what actually consists of personal info because that thread didn't have personal info.
By the time it was C&P'ed it did contain the search terms people were using to find out who the other poster was who was involved. They were deleted shortly after, and even if only portions of the thread were C&P'ed, the actual thread was still linked. Technically, it didn't name everyone involved, but it was as close as possible.
I would really appreciate a resolution to this, and basically the way that personal information will be handled in the future, announced to all of the boards as opposed to a nebulous tentative agreement laid out on the mod board that none of us are fully aware of.
I'm not the board bitch or asshole, but to me the whole incident crossed a line and I want to avoid this kind of shit coming up again.
"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."

Agreed completely. We need a clear policy that all the mods and GBCN'ers know about.

I really don't think it technically came as close as possible, BUT I do agree we need something firmed up.
If you think the whole thing crossed a line, can you agree that the original post and the SO posters who were trying to out the wife are also shitheads? Because that in and of itself was some shady shit.

Yes, it was completely over the line to post anything about it - that includes what the OP wrote and what the people who were trying to figure it out posted after her. I understand that the OP was in shock, and I am totally guilty of oversharing too when I'm in that position. I can give a little slack. It all should've been deleted ASAP.

Reported posts shouldn't be C&Ped. I think that the majority of mods here wouldn't even consider doing this, and until today I thought none of them would.

In addition, previous posts by the OP had discussed the city the significant other lived. It was also described some detail a picture that the other poster had on her personal FB account.

Yes, yes we can. SO tried to get a handle on it internally, then reported it. Shady shit gets reported. Why is this a difficult concept for you?

ITA with bowies. It was super shitty hence why people were trying to get posts and the whole thread deleted. The problem was, some people had quoted things and those people weren't around to delete their posts. We attempted to take care of it ourselves and deleted as much as we could.

Not all mods are getting the notices though. I surely don't remember seeing this one, and I check it out everytime it pops up to make sure it isn't a post with personal info.
Nobody is saying that people that participated aren't shitheads, but that's not the issue. The issue is that a post was reported for containing personal info and a mod decided to C&P it.

I think this really stretches the definition of personal info, but our disagreement over what that entails just further emphasizes our need for clarification by voting or something.

Either way, before I reported the thread I asked if there was any objection to the deleting. There was none. I can't recall if I put this in my report however I did PM several mods and stated as such.
Yes, Bully, you put that in your report. You said that no one objected to deleting because the thread revealed personal information about a GBCN'er from another board.
