slightly off topic but still on topic as a few people have mentioned it in this thread before
ive seen comments both on here and facebook about a lot of little groups and the way theyre run that seems to upset people, i also find it unusual how some pages are run as it seems they dont want your input....but they want your money
seems like a lot of groups have
- pending posts, most of witch are never approved or are approved days later
- require an admin to approve your ability to comment for the first time, ive been waiting 4 days now to be approved to comment.....still waiting...
- dont allow the public to post, only the page owners
- if an admin posts, then then turn off commenting so no one can engage
some pages have even changed their name so as to try and include all rail fans for fear of upsetting someone
i think uk rail scene recently changed their page to include trains from around the world, which upset a lot of its members to the point it apologised and sort of changed back to some degree, but may let trains around the world in at weekends only, if you join a specific page you expect to only see the content that the page title suggests, like UK rail scene...which is now called The Rail Scene....
as said, its really really frustrating how all these pages want peoples help and money, but theyre not prepared to let them engage in discussions or photos, probably part of the reason a lot of people haven't donated as they cant engage...
