I can't be the only person here with gripes. Mook mentioned in a post yesterday (on facebook) about the group not being for selling items, and the sale of cars being okay.
There are an excessive amount of both. I really don't think its the proper place to allow posting of any sort of for sale, wtb, or service offerings. The group pops up once in probably every 15 posts on my facebook wall, and of those 1/3 are an advertisement of some sort. frankly, it's annoying and I'm just going to leave the group if it continues. it's one step above a candy crush invite and clickbait ad. You'll never believe what happens next!
I like the group and being able to interact with people from this forum, the car related content, shit talking, potential members and believe that should be the purpose of the group. Non forum users posting is cool with me, it draws them here in some capacity or at least makes them know we exist. I also noticed after mooks post that a couple people made their way here and decided to make their first post a for sale ad. Out. I'd be searching in other places if I wanted to buy your car and you weren't a member here.
my suggestions:
-lay out some terms for facebook group posts.
-delete classified type ads.
-remove people from the group who can't seem to follow the terms after multiple times being asked not to post
-make a minimum post count to start a new thread in a for sale section on the forum I think 10-20 would be fine personally
