people wanting to see where you live, want car you drive, where you go on holiday.
Why on earth would you post stuff like that on a public forum?!
^ This x 1000.
I like FB for the forum element, I agree it’s a good place for like minded folks to gather and organise rides and in my case Windsurfing.
But it’s an easy tool to manage, just block anyone whose a nob, ignore provoking pokes at you and any of the forum members and/or report any nasty jibes.
Without FB I wouldn’t have been able to organise the Round Hayling Windsurfing revival and subsequent iterations thereof. Organise weekly slalom races/sessions and training events. I think of it as a simple tool for the job of mild marketing and information sharing. Anything more than that and I think you need to step away from it. Just become a moderator of sorts, share what you need to, manage out those that piss you off and ignore the stupidity of some contributors.
