Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Anyone on this forum also a member of the facebook version? don’t really understand what their rules are for posting there. Joined a while ago have attempted to comment on some of their threads. My responses were along the line “let us know about where you are so a local club can get in touch with you to bring you into the cowboy world”, one was someone asked about the Henry BB and whether it was a good idea (I said for a plinking/hunting gun gtg for CAS not so much) all were automatically declined for violating posting rules. What gives? Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot Bear Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I did see on there last week an open top exploded and in many large chunky parts from someone that had filled the cylinders with Trail Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Most of the SASS cowboy clubs on Facebook are open to just about anyone. Lots of people interested to get into the sport so there’s lots of newbies asking questions. As far as posts or comments being deleted it could be the administrators that run that certain site.

What gives? Regards Gateway Kid It's Farcebook's rules, not SASS or whoever runs the FB version. I know that any post that even hints that it is trying to sell a firearm will get hidden. Other than that, it's FB algorithms or the whim of a person if the alert goes to a FB 'moderator'. Don't expect common sense or consistency on how the rules are applied.

Pat Riot Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I guess I am introverted to some degree. That is part of the reason I do not use or like social networking sites. I like my forums. That’s good enough. Also, I truly don’t want to deal with people that are trying to reach me because it’s convenient to them. For 2 decades I maintained a presence on LinkedIn. It was easy enough to find me. If you did a search on my name one of the first hits you’d see was my LinkedIn page and without joining one could message me or just scroll down and see what company or agency I worked for then just call or email that agency to connect with me. I rarely heard from past friends and or acquaintances. I mostly heard from head hunters and past coworkers. Since I moved back to almost home I encounter people occasionally from my past who make a big to-do over how they never heard from me. I always say I was reachable if you ever truly wanted to talk to me. Conversation ends in 3…2…1… Sorry for the rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I don't object to the material on FB, I object to the censorship. I closed my FB business and personal accounts when they started censoring the President. I was accumulating ever-long sentences in FB jail, so I figured best to leave on my terms, than on theirs. This is the one that got me 30 days in jail, and when I closed down after I was paroled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would I subject myself to FB BS when I have an email and a telephone...or, God forbid, someone might still use snail mail....or drive a few miles for a face-to-face visit.

Chantry Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Farcebook is what you make of it. I keep my settings to private, I'm picky about who I accept as friends and I tend to hide anything too political (or stupid, which is much the same thing). I've also un-followed a few people so I no longer see their posts, but did not unfriend them (mostly family). I follow some groups I like or find interesting and some musicians to keep current on tour dates or new releases. A person doesn't have to use Farcebook, but like it or not, Farcebook isn't going away anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently Apple updated Safari with extra levels of security so if you open and use a website in their “Private” mode it supposedly keeps your identity secret and doesn’t allow your info to be seen.

bgavin Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I do have to chuckle... while everybody gets themselves wrapped up in the evils of FB, our Fearless Leader in DC has invoked war powers to force the expansion of electric heat pumps to shut down the natural gas appliance industry. The evil coming out of D.C. goes unchecked. I do believe in my private heart that civil war is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
