I had NO FUCKING CLUE who the poster on SO was from what little cjoy C&P'd from the thread. I don't think anybody else on ML did either. This is some pitchfork bullshit. Fuck this.
Lemondrop, can you please explain to me why you see nothing wrong with cjoy's actions? Because I'm honestly baffled by your posts.
Because she's being accused of actually copying the report or using the report to find the post. Both are not true.
So you see no problem with a mod c&p'ing something she knows has been reported for revealing personal information (because that was posted in cjoy's post, whether or not she saw the report herself)? And then leaving the c&p up after it's been deleted?
Should anything ever posted be completely fair game on any board?

I did, and I know I'm not the only one.
No, you're not. I didn't even know the situation existed until I read cjoy's thread, but I found out the OP's GBCN name from the replies.
Nugget, she was told by another mod that the post she c&p'd was reported. She knew it was reported and yet didn't do anything.
I just... that squicks me out. I wouldn't want to do that to anyone on this board, or have it happen to someone on this board. If you had info that was suddenly out there and wanted it deleted and found out a mod of all people had copied it, how would you feel?
And plenty of people fucking didn't. People are acting like she rolled up into the post, with full names and addresses and socials and shit. Calling for her to be de-modded because what, she talked about a deleted post and C&P'd portions of it just like half of the heifers on this entire message board have done before? Would we be having this discussion if the deleted post was about how she just got done fucking a dude who's wife WAS NOT a GBCNer? What if, even though the wife doesn't post on here, someone wanders across the thread and realizes "Hey....wait, that sounds like Steve and Barbara". Should we be deleting ALL posts that MIGHT POSSIBLY mention some potential identifying piece of information that someone could use to find out who it was?
Or do we stop acting like Fred Phelps just won the presidency and slow our roll? You're pissed off at someone making things public and so you react with a public virtumob? Nice. Real nice.
Can you point out where I've asked cjoy to step down or said that she should not be a mod because of this? I'm saying that we need clearer rules about what mods should and should not do with reported and deleted material.
And the issue of whether or not the post should have been deleted is moot--everyone on SO wanted the post deleted, they just couldn't find anyone to delete it. It was reported for revealing personal information, and no one objected to it being deleted.
*I* didn't bring it up in the first place. I asked for clarification on why people didn't want to use the report button and it all spilled out. So clearly I'm not the one that originally had the problem with her. It's getting attention now because people are stumbling in from their weekends.
If I had been on at the time I'd probably STILL be side-eying the shit out of her decision and probably would have said something about it on the mod board. However it started here and people felt the need to jump in.
There's a thread on the mod board as well. It was started immediately before the whole thing was revealed. And yet this thread continued on. Then another mod felt the need to start another thread on her home board... and you know how it goes. It could have all been contained here, but nope.
People, quit trying to lame this place up. CJoy didn't C&P identifying info, just the good, meaty gossipy parts, as she should and as should everyone on this flipping board!

PROVERBIAL YOU.
But everybody that is continuing this thread, is contributing to folks running back to that thread, and reading allllllll about it. All over again.
So. If you think that what she did was craptastic, then it would probably serve your noble cause better to take it up privately with the global mods or cjoy than to continue participating in a 7 page thread that is just bringing it alllllll up again.
I don't give two shits, because I haven't the foggiest as to who this is even about and also I might be slightly sociopathic and lacking in empathy.
Probably mostly the first. But, still. The second bears mentioning.
I could give two shits about who slept with who's husband on what board, I don't know them from Adam. I haven't seen any personal information except on poster's name (and I've never heard of her before).
What I am concerned about is what happens next time someone reports something for personal info, is cjoy going to spread it further and point and laugh?
Or rather, was concerned, because now that she can't play nice no mods can see reports. So we're back to where SO was where they can't find anyone to delete.
Half the heifers on this board can't C&P a post after they know it's been reported. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT MODS.
SO?! People fucking do it ALL THE TIME. People ALWAYS C&P stuff from a thread before it's been deleted, and the leave it up after it's been deleted. All the time. People are always talking about a thread that was deleted. All the time.
Yes, but should mods, who (until today) had the power to delete posts from any board, be held to the same standard as everyone else? That is (or at least should be) the real issue here.
