I think the trump thread has enough attention already...

You might as well post it. Nothing like bringing more attention to it by starting a thread about it.
I looked at your report. I have no idea who it is nor do I see any reference to a name. Since you know whose picture was photoshopped, it doesn’t mean everyone else here knows who it is too. I’m assuming it was published on a public forum for all to see. Did that person report it to have it removed? Honestly, I really don’t know what you want us to do. We don’t have time to “police” other sites.

the person who posted the pics removed them from their host, problem solved. I flagged it on the 15th, if it was looked at before now you would have seen the offending content that existed on this site, not another. No one is asking you to "police" other sites.

FWIW I made the thread for exactly what you stated, to bring attention to the matter. Inaction after the post was flagged caused me concern.

I saw the images in the original thread, and agree with aahnutz. Anybody who wasn't familiar with whoever that was photoshopped in would have no idea who it was. Only people who already know the person were in on the joke, and at that point, they've probably already seen what you were offended by elsewhere. All you did was call additional attention to what you were trying to remove. Having the opposite effect of what you wanted... Furthermore, the person on EB wasn't suggesting your friend was a Pedophile. The person on Facebook did. Hence aahnutz saying it's not our responsibility to police other sites...

Maybe next time send a PM to the mods instead of starting a thread. You’ll probably get a response sooner.
