Where a member changes their post and title, can TPTB at Mamapedia see the original post?
Do they make their determination to pull a post based on the ORIGINAL post, or the changed one? Do they just pull a post based on the number of "reports"?
Anyone know?
TPTB The powers that be
Some people take screen shots and send copies to Mamapedia. Theoretically, a person could be banned or even an IP address.
I think the posts are pulled after three reports but who knows.
I'm under the impression that they do not see it. I had correspondence with one of the PTB who said they can only pull what they see or what is reported when I mentioned an abusive post that had caused a lot of aggressive responses. The OP changed her post, leaving it look like she was the one being abused.
In every other board I am on when you report something the moderators are notified with a quote at that moment in time. Here it doesn't do that and once a post is modified the original is gone forever.
I take screen caps if it is someone I know will modify a post and if/when I get the it doesn't violate board standards I attach the screen cap with my come on folks email.
The mods do not read the posts unless they have extra time which is never so unless something is reported it will not be looked at or pulled. They do read the reported items now so they are pulled on content not the number of reports.
Oddly what is deleted is not gone forever. If you were to change this and then I linked it to my Facebook, your original post is what would show.
Reporting a post may or may not get it deleted.
The site monitors can delete at will anything they feel violates site policy whether it's reported or not.
Many times a violation is not caught unless a report has brought it to their attention.
But on the other hand, reports on a post that DON'T violate policy will not be deleted - the site monitors have some judgement and leeway, and some are more diligent then others.
As for historical content (original post vs altered) - sometimes the altered post is allowed to stay, sometimes not.
If this is about the post I think you're referring to, the post itself has been fixed, but the poster is using their profile commercially (has links to their personal business) and the site monitors will have to take a look at that and determine if it's allowable - I don't think it is.
Same thing for another user responding to that post.
People don't overtly notice because the responder keeps a low profile (does not post/respond often).
