Is anyone part of this Facebook group? Not sure if the person who's admin or a moderator is there? But they are in dire need of a moderator. I've admin'd and ran many facebook groups in the past. If the owner of that page is on here DM me shit out of hand there and known as the troll/shit post grc group because of the lack of moderation.
Dire need is an understatement. It’s by far the worst FB specific-car group I’ve been in as far as vehicles I’ve owned.
to add, I was a moderator in the 2nd Gen BRZ and GR86 FB group. The admin had close to zero tolerance for BS and I felt it was borderline “policed” but I felt the overall effect and in a way it worked.
It has gone from partially garbage to complete dumpster fire in the past few months. Nothing but salesman pitching their ADM cars, Civic Type R shills, and people that have no idea what they're talking about.
I gave up being involved in the FB group. Sticking with just being here. Lots and lots and lots of arguing, and begging for cars and just overall bad vibes on the FB group. Much better environment here in the forum. IMO.
Same. I’m glad to see a real, usable forum is on its way to being developed by reasonable people that just want to share information about a great car. I was afraid these were all but gone by the wayside thanks to fb groups - which are usually just trash.
The FB group has some of the most smooth-brained takes I've even seen. I had to leave before I started arguing with people, effectively becoming just as stupid.
Since it's an open group, and my wife gets updates any time I post on Facebook, she's like "you talked about lowering springs, do you want to get some?" Like no, I don't, and then I start explaining spring rates and jounce and rebound and valving, and her eyes glaze over, it's like her telling me about the latest show on bravo.
They sell all your personal data off for profit to marketers and advertisers. So you might as well take it as a cue and terminate your account. It’s not the Meta.
Welp for those on the fb group. Start reporting posts that are bad so I can deleted them. they made me a mod there. Already deleted a bunch of posts and banned a bunch of shithead scammers.
There’s a private enthusiast one on Facebook I’m trying to focus on instead. Just called gr owners enthusiasts I believe. The owners one is terrible and so is the subreddit.
That’s the one that’s started by Tyler I think and it’s only like 170 members. That’s the one I kept having to invite people too cuz unless you know someone you can’t see it haha
George is gone, figured out how to ban people since the normal way isn't an option. Guy doesn't even own one and in a group named "Toyota gr corolla owners"
Also causes way to many problems. Dude was killing my cell battery with how many report notifications I was getting every day.
Just want to remove the scammers (about 10/day) and have it be chill.
I responded yeah. I've asked the owner of that group already if they would be ok with a simple ruleset one everyone can follow without any effort and got no response sadly
Two dealers got banned today both were posting over msrp but didn't get banned for that.
One used photos of someone else's car.
Other was up charging for a shift knob. The stock shift knob the car comes with stock.
Have to ban like 10+ a day at the moment same scammer rejoins the group trying to push his scam website damn near every day. Hope nobody falls for that stuff while it's still up and haven't gotten the chance to ban the new account
@Trapper Its probably a good thing that I'm not a moderator in that FB group because I can tell you for certain that some of those pompous idiots would have been kicked by now. I'm going to lose my mind interacting with those clowns.
