How did they know it was you, have you posted similar stuff over the road?

Just as a minor point of interest I thought, having let the dust settle, I would apply to join the “Wigan Flight Crew” Facebook page. Would they actually twig that this person was me? If so would I be allowed to join?Well it seems they did twig and no I wasn’t. By rejecting my application not only can I not post, the entire group page is now invisible to me with no response to my application. Says it all really - we let them come on here and vent off, but they certainly don’t want any nay-sayers be-spoiling their sycophantic little empire! Quite sad really! No wonder there are no negative posts on there - the groupthink is enforced rigorously. Reminds me yet again what is wrong with Facebook. No not wrong, evil! The tragedy is, next time we do Wigan, how will I be able to suck up to them and pretty-please request their help? It won’t be possible. I’m so grateful for small mercies! What you need is a sandwich board on top of the roof with this written on it:- ATTENTION WFC. VOLATILE AND UNSTABLE LOAD ONBOARD THIS VESSEL. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INTERFERE WITH THE VESSELS PASSAGE THROUGH THE LOCKS. PLEASE ENSURE YOU ADHERE TO THE PUBLISHED OPENING TIMES - TIME SENSITIVE CARGO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ABSOLUTE COOPERATION. N NORMAN ESQ.

Joking aside ... these 'social groups' can be very restrictive. JohnV I think the specific member groups can be different. @donkey2 the truth is your views will receive the value they merit on thunderboat ... you're free to post ANYTHING you wish ... I believe you've previously demonstrated this Rog

I would be extremely disappointed if Romans were a member of WFC, even more so if they were a volockie. Respect for your fellows should always be given I think.

It fulfills a particular interest niche and is a very rich source of historical information and an incredible picture collection Why should that be a closed group? It seems dodgy to exclude people. What about the 15 year old kid whose dream is to own a Humber Keel and learn all about them ? But he's too shy to ask to join a closed group. Surely historic information and data should be available to as many people as possible in order to propagate knowledge.

You're unequivocally right ...can't argue. I hope leyther sees this and can open up the group. But we at thunderboat are open and honest All views welcome. Rog The group is still public, it seems like they have taken the additional step of blocking Nick after declining his 'join' request. Otherwise there is nothing to stop him making repeat requests to join, which i doubt he would have done anyway. This is how Facebook works. I’ve seen it before. With many types of group, one can see the posts but not post oneself, unless one is a member. But if banned from the group or request to join denied, suddenly the group is entirely invisible, as if it doesn’t exist. When I paste the link into my browser I now get “error 404 file not found”. Of course I could always create a new account if it was important to me - which it isn’t!

How did they know it was you, have you posted similar stuff over the road? No but presumably someone worked out my name by cross referencing TB with CWDF - the latter contains my real name and boat name and of course the former, my boat name is my user name. All of which is good - one wouldn’t want to be a member of a group under false pretences and if they choose to exclude me from their group having expended some effort to work out who I am and without giving me the benefit of the doubt as to what I might post, it says more about them than me.

It will have to wait until winter.

Of course I could always create a new account if it was important to me - which it isn’t! The group becoming invisible doesnt happen solely due to an application to join being denied, that requires an additional step. Last time it happened to me my application status changed from 'pending' to 'join group'. I could still see the posts as it was public. I dont know about what happens if you are expunged from a group though.

I always feel it is important to hear other views ... even those you don't agree with.
Whatever ... their choice... at least here we can discuss ANYTHING.

I presume you (Nick) used your real name to request membership?
