    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by terrysumner

    When I moved from Connecticut to Florida last year I found and joined the IPMS Spacecoast Modelers Club... What a great bunch of guys...just like I was associated with in New England with Bay Colony Modelers Club! Well their annual show is coming up in a few weeks in Melbourne, Florida on May 4th so if anyone is near enough to attend please come! Got a lot of vendors and lots of kits in the raffles! Judging this year has gone completely to Gold, Silver and Bronze! I will be attending and hope to see some group members there. If you come, seek me out and say Hello! I'll be one of many guys with gray hair! LMAO

    People can say what they want, but as long as there isn’t any moderation here or anyone enforcing the rule against politics, this kind of stuff is unfortunately going to continue.

    Moderation is here.....I warned everyone not to get political but some could not resist.  Those political posts have been removed and the posters have been issued warnings.

    It was hit in the preparatory bombardment just before the assault.

     

    We can start posting some videos of the airstrikes in the village if you want, some of the dead bodies laying on the floor too or maybe we can confine it to just the artillery shells hitting the airport itself.

    What do you think... What level of involvement should we have here in our nice clean little environment? 

     

    Or shall we just say the AN-225 was destroyed and move on?

    Do NOT post any of that.

    Ive seen its not all that hard to control spam on facebook with a little bit of forethought about what members you let into the group.

     

    If you was to open up a facebook group in the same manner this forum is open, in that a facebook user simply clicks join group and they can post as they like, then it gets impossible to control and it would take up all your time.

    For the most part with good member control facebook groups tend to run themselves from small groups with tens of thousands like ARC to groups with hundreds of thousands and millions.

    Exactly!

    Just to let you all know, there are varying degrees of Moderators/Admins.  There are only two Admin, who have access to everything (that I know of)...Steve and Neo. Then there are 5 or 6 Super Moderators who can do ALMOST everything except make changes to the forum like Neo just did with the reCaptcha thing. Then there are Moderators who were put in place specifically for Group Builds to handle them. As a Super Mod I don't have the ability to make changes to the forum so I'm very happy that Neo did that with our (Super Mods) blessings! And as for me, well I handle the 15.3 thousand member Facebook ARC group all by myself so I don't have as much time as I used to to devote to the forum.  But I have virtually eliminated SPAM on the FB group and it is running very smoothly now. I'm very happy about that....

    SBARC please come in.........

    Steve is ok BUT, ARC isn't bringing in any financial gains and due to some other problems he is now forced to work three jobs and over 110 hours a week. So he has no time at the present to maintain the daily postings on the ARC main page. I would help him but unfortunately I don't know the first thing about doing web sites.  I maintain the Facebook presence for him but that's all I can do...

    Seems like a 'duplication of effort'.  What's wrong with this one???

     

    Now ARC itself seems to have faded away.  No updates since 13 DEC!!

    Hey relax... Steve is working 110 hours a week and has been for months now.  He's doing the best he can.  He'll be back once he gets out of the hole.

    Yes Virginia there is an ARC Facebook page.  I run it.  Steve has pretty much handed it over to me to take care of it. I spend a lot of time making sure it's run properly with no SPAM.  People who want to join have to answer a series of three questions to be admitted. It is a Private Group. It is excellent for photos. And easy to track your own if you simply create an album of your own photos. Each form of media has it's own advantages and disadvantages like you all have enumerated. Personal choice I guess. If anyone has any questions about ARC's Facebook presence feel free to ask here and I will try to answer them.
