    Angry Facebook and airguns

    On a 30 day ban from posting on my groups for posting a picture of a few of my guns. Censored for posting UK legal guns online .




    So be careful on there.

    People do it on the rammer site I'm on and they are still on there, you're just not allowed to sell or put up any links to shops.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    FB is very focused on gungroups at the moment. I notice it in all the groups Im a member of.
    Just had a 1 day ban myself. For violating FA (sales) rules.
    I dont post FA and I dont sell. So its totally unjust.
    Just always ask for a judgement. Often its sorted out

    I've had it removed once or twice off my on page with no writing on



    Going to carry on posting it on there as I have plenty of time on my hands

    You got hit by the algorythm that has hit a lot of the groups of late, you have to be very very very careful how you word things now otherwise it thinks you're selling a prohibeted item and rather than send it for review it automatically removes the post and potentially claps you with a ban.
    After you've had it looked at by a human on the appeal you'll probably find things restored, they won't fix the Zuckerbot though so sadly there will be a chance of it happening again.

    They class Airguns as firearms, even the sub 12s and Airsoft ones and the Algorithym is a pain for seeing words not even close to selling as being just that.

    Yeah awaiting the result but .....also got a few bullying posts against me (I'm not allowed to say the French are cowards chickens and they smell) although I can let go at the yanks

    Unfortunately a good many forum either military related, airguns, shooting collecting etc reenactment have eventually gone over to Facebook and good forums have closed down along with their reference library of pictures and information from over the years lost forever, where crap facebook is difficult to find reference of anything more than a week or a few days ago when posted. At least here i can refer back 10 years ago or so about a topic that still retains valuable info. Keep such forums going, Facebook is rubbish.
