*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.
This. There's nothing about cjoy in the OP. That didn't come up until a few replies into the thread.
And LOLOLOLOL that this thread is "passive-aggressive". Are we then to assume cjoy's thread was meant to be constructive?
Also nugget I think most of the posts in this thread have NOT been by CEP regs. A few, but I don't think of this as being a "hate boner" for CJoy (really??). The thread stepped up the haterade when some SO regs (presumably) came over to comment.
But at any rate CJoy has made it clear that she doesn't really care for us anyway. *shrug*
I do not expect them to act like paid employees of ProBoards and GBCN, because they are not paid employees of ProBoards and GBCN. Cjoy didn't somehow abuse her mod powers by c&ping from a thread that was ALREADY deleted. Anybody could have done what she did. The only reason people are mad is because A) CE&P has a hate-boner for cjoy, B) election season is over so there isn't much to yell at each other about outside of the Pope being Catholic, and C) people seem to have this idea that mods are supposed to be some unholy combination of den mothers and police officers with a tiny bit of Supernanny thrown in.
^o) It's not just CEP that thinks that something is rotten in Denmark. Pretty much everyone outside of ML is looking at this and shaking their heads. It just so happens that it started here. And I know for damn sure I'm not the only mod that has an issue with this.
Good lord. Let's back this train right the fuck up.
No one cares about c&p's.
No one cares about a mod deciding not to delete a post when asked.
Most reasonable people care that a mod saw a post had been flagged for deleting and decided it would be more fun to c&p it to their board for discussion. And I'm going to go out on a limb here and said I don't believe for one flying fucking minute that c_joy didn't do exactly fucking that otherwise she wouldn't be in here shouting down the fucking roof, stomping her feet, and being a self righteous and passive aggressive. She would have said from the jump, oh, oops, my mistake, I didn't know anyone wanted it gone until after I posted it.

That's FINE, but this entire conversation is only serving to drag shit out and cause people to probably go back into that thread to read it all over again. This has been read almost 5,000 times. Do you (PROVERBIAL YOU) really think none of those 5,000 readers has gone to find the thread this devolved into talking about, which is bringing the drama and outting to a whole 'nother group of people? Keep it on the mod board or in PMs, man. Unless you (PROVERBIAL YOU) don't care and just want to let people know how pissed off you are at cjoy for what she did and don't really care about the wife who had her business spilled all over SO getting more business spilled all over more boards.
Which is why it shouldn't have been c&p in the first place. ::full circle::
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.
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. Â
The "detail" of the FB pic was that it was their wedding pic. That seriously counts as identifying info? How many people on FB does that really include?
Half the heifers on this board can't C&P a post after they know it's been reported. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT MODS.
A reported thread is still visible for everyone to see and C&P. Also, mods can't see a post after it's deleted. Even before our global powers were just stripped.
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.
You know what the issue is here. We don't have the bump. That was where we got out a lot of Internet aggression and bonded with other boards in those grand bump C&Ps, which were often brought to us by Toledo.

Where was she pointing and laughing? I recall everyone being pretty "Jesus, that poor wife and also OP is a fucking toolbag." Not "Hahahahaha that's fucking hilarious, man."
I didn't read the c&p, but I thought that was the point of c&p.
By the same token, the mods who had a problem with it could have taken it up with her privately on the mod board instead of rehashing it all again publicly. I don't think any mod here has acted in what they claim the higher standard should be.
So I don't want ANY mod who commented on this debacle publicly to have any extra powers, if we're going to discuss general mod behavior.
We did. Should I have deleted this thread? That would have been a shitstorm as well
I don't see why concerned parties couldn't have just asked me directly what happened, and instead felt the need to talk about me as if I was never going to see this thread and assumed they knew exactly what had happened, what I knew, what my frame of mind was, etc. And now I'm getting comments about my maturity, my trustworthiness, what I am and am not "capable" of. But I'm just supposed to sit back and be diplomatic about it? Lol. I guess I'm supposed to be "better" in this situation too. Fuck that.

You encouraged someone to report this post multiple times! How the hell is that mature? AND commented in the report post to the effect of "neener neener neener". Oh, I'm sorry, you're a paragon of maturity.
ETA: That was what broke the camel's back and locked all our mod powers down. So yeah, good on you and sticking it to CEP.

Those were the days.
becky, I believe you may be run out of town on a rail by suggesting that I ever contributed anything (even of specious) value to this board.
You used to be one of the better members. I'm not sure what soured you. :/ I miss you insight on some posts, without the barbed snark.
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.
It was no secret what the OP's name was, nor did anyone ever ask for it to be. IT WAS REDVELVET.
We're talking about the privacy of the woman she was posting about, the wife of the guy she was seeing. if anyone on ML can raise their hand and tell me that they figured out who that was, I'd like to hear it. I won't hold my breath, though.
Well I'm working on it. It's someone on facebook with their wedding picture as a profile picture. I've narrowed it down to 427, 019 possible people. I will alert you when I have narrowed it down a little further.

I don't give a fuck if people want to accuse me of having a hate boner for cjoy. Yeah, I was all over this thread because I fucking saw everything that went down and I find the timing suspicious. I wasn't alone. So if you want to assume that I used it as an opportunity to make a passive-aggressive dig, fine. I haven't cared about her either way until this shit this weekend. It was fucking high school bullshit.
