BAR Facebook days numbered

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

Was appalled to read this on the BAR Facebook page.

For a picture of a Relum Tornado?

I detest Facebook and its founder.

It's about time people stopped using it.

I don't believe it's compulsory?

[eyebull]

The Facebook moderators - such as they are - are arbitrary, have a definite political agenda and are completely unaccountable.
I keep a profile because it is handy for keeping in touch with friends. Other than that it is a vile operation I would quite like to see die off.

Never said it was.

That's why I recommended people to stop using it.

If it was closed over a picture simple appeal we had a problem on bullpup mad when some Libyan listed fire arms pistols for sale (in his country ) they closed the group. We looked at the group removed his posts and made clear there was to be no sales 2-3 days later the group was reinstated. If someone's banned from here do you protest by not using the forum ???? I personally think removing sales was a good idea on Facebook as it couldn't be regulated under age people could buy off there with ease scams were rife as advertising goes on there they can still have a shop group just not advertise there guns scopes ect are ok and there not the only shop what's been told this

It is I thought I was free from the ex wife of years ago what happens the evil cow tracked me down by it, I had to get a court order to put an end to the sodding stalking by her one fit lady but by god totally totally mental.

[Riggsmakaveli]

From what I've read it wasn't a sales post that was removed by Facebook, so are Facebook now removing anything shooting related at random

Or has someone got it in for BAR and are reporting said posts

[dave goodall]

Doubt it's a vendetta by Facebook maybe someone with a grudge as reported the picture which then Facebook as to close the page group to follow up the report pictures of guns are on are group it's full of them and hunting pics but was reinstated I'd say some ones upset and reported it been childish the Internet is full of people trying to destroy businesses by the Internet just check out the airtech thread

I agree though Facebook is a pain in the arse I only go on if problems arise my good freind mick Garvey runs the group which he enjoys each to there own tho

and facebook is vile because,,,,? you dont like the people on the internet ???

[Dragonboy]

I don't think is was just because of the photo. The text made the Relum Tornado sound like an anti-tank gun. Can't we have humour nowadays?
