So joined Anuj Malhotra's 30k facebook group, noticed a lot of locked posts, read them, see first hand he's taking any criticism of anything related 2.0 very personally. Basically not following any of the rules he set out for the group. People call him out and just disappear. I post about it, he replies, again not pm's me but replies in publuc. A second admin replies calling me a troll, very curteous of him.

Posted pics of the latest 30k game board and advice/tips. The group is about tips and tricks for 30k.
Find out I'm on post approval, could be automated for first time posters but suspect its from the prior day' incredibly warm admin "interaction". I pm one of the admins, the post is approved immediately with no reply.
Spoiler:
Several minutes later, the same admin's status goes to unavailable and the post is removed, along with me and blocked from the group.
So I have no problem with making this public, dirty laundry is necessary when these people act like the stasi. They ask you to message them privately, don't respond and act like 5 years olds. Be warned, 5 admins and gatekeeping abounds.

"Don't be negative about GW" is a synonym to "don't be insulting a towards the design staff" according to those admins, and only trolls can't read that into their rules. Gets pretty funny on release days when people find tons of mistakes in the rules they just paid for.
Also funny how the admins self promote their own events and allow generic painting/modelling posts, but come down hard on people who break other rules (aka the ones who are negative about GW).

It's like dealing with the stasi, It's gone beyond enforced positivity. I mean the right hand doesn't even know what the left hand is doing, someone approved the post, only to piss off another admin in doing so it would seem.

Let them ban their audience, i'm sure it'll be sunshine, rainbows and kittens.
Seriously though, standard problems of communism will become evident where nobody wants to point out anything is wrong.
This is how the covid pandemic started.

It really feels like it though, like people pointing out print discrepancies between language prints of the same book are being character assassinated. It doesn't matter if they have 50 other posts praising the edition up and down, there's zero room for error and they just disappear members and posts on a whim.
Everyone has to think happy thoughts basically

Plenty of lovely people posting cool stuff too, though.
There's more accountability here, the admins know they can't just deep six whole account with a decade or more on here without people noticing. Facebook, it's like that picture of stalin that keeps getting airbrushed lol
Automatically Appended Next Post: Looks like a spoke too soon, someone deleted the 3 images without so much a private message to me.

Sorry, what? Did I miss some kind of memo or something, or is this just more red-scaremongering?
could have been contained in november 2019 if the local institutions weren't trying to pretend there wasn't a problem.
Nobody wanted to be the one that broke the bad news in an authoritarian system.
Same with the russian military.

Honestly it´s your fault. Everybody knows that social media is cancer especially Facebook & Twitter.
Please do not create threads to drag drama from elsewhere here. As this thread has already managed to break all three and a half rules we have here I am locking it up.
In the future if you (generic you) have pictures deleted by the gallery moderator then the only correct action is to PM them to find out why, not just re upload them to the gallery.
