So... I became a defacto mod....

Of a facebook group with 4000 members.

The student group at my college is a fucking mess; no one was being an admin until today when facebook asked if I wanted to; and I’ve faced my first problem: A salesman.

So the biggest issue in the group is Spamming; to the point that many members choose not to post anything because of all the people selling shit. I asked the members, through a poll, if they wanted me to ban sales in the group. An overwhelming mayority said “no” (70/30), but since I want the 30% to still be represented; I made new rules saying that any post selling crap had to be published as a post selling crap. Have a price, a location, and other details.

Then some douchebag who only posts stuff for sale in the group posted a JK wrangler. I asked him to delete it and post it as something being sold rather than just photos.

He said “Wow, okay!” and then ignored it. I’m yet to do anything about it, but I feel like turning on a requirement that any post HE makes has to be approved by me or the moderators.

I'm thinking about it... But I don't know if I should start banning people on my first day. I already rejected tens of membership requests tho.

I want to begin my reign of terror, but I'm worried about the group losing relevance.

Time to throw down the banhammer at all who cross you! Rule with an iron fist and show no mercy. It’s facebook so there is definitely no sense of community or decency.

Is it possible to delete his post, and continue doing so until he falls in line? If not, get a burner and waste his time.

It’s already lost relevance. If 70 percent of osts is just people selling them it’s not relevant to them t he college. Bring down the hammer, and hard. Cry “ havoc!” And let slip the dogs of war.

If you became a mod, that means you now drive a tarted up scooter like this:

Kinja'd!!!

And you dress in a way that looks naff.

Right?

RIGHT???

It's 70% of people voting to keep the market open. But yes... I can't wait to ban some people. I just don't think it'd be fair for this person to be banned just yet. He made the post before I made the rules public.

“I already rejected tens of membership requests tho.”

I would accept all. But for the ones who are most suspect, ban them for arbitrary reasons like misspelling a word or for not being funny enough.

Accepting all would bring up membership by 20%!

Sweet, then if they get really pissy about it you get the death threats and “FITE ME IRL” pms. Always feed the troll.

Change the name and entire function of the group just to see what people say. Play dumb, pretend that it's always been a page about Chipmunks driving racecars. (Or whatever you choose to change it to)

It sounds like it’s already losing relevance.
