Wow! JUST WOW!

So the censoring admin of the Facebook group banned me today after replying to my comments (which I can't see because she banned me). I guess she doesn't tolerate any opinion about the Sandpiper / Sierra line that doesn't paint a peachy keen or rosy picture of the brand. If you tell her that you're going to share your less than pleasant experiences with the brand don't expect to be a member long. LOL!!!! Good bye to her and her censoring ways. No loss to me as I answered more questions than I asked.

most every Facebook RV group is the same. If you aren't a cheerleader for the brand, they will boot you. They want to pretend it's all rainbows and unicorns, and not discuss the real issues.

Yep. That's the millennials for you, all rainbows and unicorns on the wallpaper behind their participation trophies.
Take their phones away and they are worthless.

I was kicked out of an apache group becuase I spoke the truth about the only parts place for the campers. One of the other guys in our campi g group got kicked out for some humor that a coulle of people didnt like the end a couple of us started our own little misfit group. We have only booted 2 people from the group and they were spammed that got through. But we also warn that we are not for the easily offended

Just a friendly guideline reminder, since facebook is the subject matter of this thread. As per our guidelines:

http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...ork&page=rules

"Our user base is not a resource to be "mined" by individuals, groups, or businesses, for profit or not for profit. The use of Forest River Forums to solicit members and/or customers for other groups, lists or businesses is expressly forbidden."

Facebook does fall into this "group" , and FRF cannot be used to solicit members for facebook groups. Sorry

As long as this thread is discussing facebook groups, with no solicitations to join a group, it will be OK.

As you can see above, even here you will be censored at some point. While I respect your opinion to disagree, I may very well agree with you as well, you are on someone else's site that they control, pay or just simply created. You have no right to free speech. The only way to get that right is to be one of the above (the creator) .

Where was someone soliciting a customer for another group? That’s a bit much.

It was me. I was another blocked from the group referenced above and I posted the name of the new FB group I created (I actually did it two times). I didn't intend to violate any terms and thankfully it was caught and erased by a moderator (instead of kicking me off the forum). I really didn't mean any harm to this forum was just trying to share a new group.

Just coming clean since it was asked.

Ok, it makes sense now, and would have made sense then, if the original had not been deleted.
Sometimes I think I should take my marbles and play elsewhere.

No I does get confusing sometimes when purging occurs and now statements and responses no longer make sense.

WMTIRE, I wasn't promoting the FB group. I was just appalled at the censorship in the group. I didn't mention which group until asked. I never left FRF because it is where I cut my teeth with my Sandy and where I've found plenty of VALUABLE info on how to right the wrongs from the manufacturer/dealer. I may join other FB groups but I most certainly will remain active here as long as I own a FR product.

He wasn't referring to you, but another (see above apology) who did promote another group, his own.
