New WAS Facebook Group

[Xander]

Hey everyone,

This one's for our Facebook users.

People have been asking me for some time now why they aren't able to post things on our Facebook page like they can post on others. The answer has always been that it's because www.facebook.com/WindsorAquariumSociety/ is a PAGE and not a GROUP.

Each type provides a different function.
Pages are for promoting an entity.
Groups are for chats, discussions, and sharing among/between users.

Well, I've finally done it: there is now an official Facebook GROUP for the Windsor Aquarium Society, where people can chat and share memes and post stuff all they want.

Follow this link to join!

I am looking for a handful (two or three) volunteers to act as moderators on the page. Duties would include enforcing the (few) rules and cleaning up any discussions that turn to insults and bashing.

As a small and respectful group, I'm certain we won't see much of this, if any. However, the nature of posting stuff on Facebook can be wildly unpredictable, and occasionally strangers do come into the mix who try their darnedest to sow dissent.

I will be a mod

Thank you Les, that makes two volunteers so far. If anyone else is interested, just post here or shoot me a PM

Great to hear, good way to transition people to the forum. Bought time you guys jumped on the band wagon - I would suggest putting in the rules no sales of live fish without a business license just in case, couple other groups were shut down when the great “pet sale purge of 2019” happened. Just joined myself

Thanks Jason, I had already added that rule yesterday in the morning!
If you can think of anything else important, just give me a shout.
