Facebook slowly strangling this site?
Julian347:
I use the forum and FB as they both have strengths and weaknesses.
I'm not sure banning sales on the FB will help. Many of the sales that are on the RAD FB page are also on quite a few of the other FB pages that many of us also follow as well. It's not unusual for the same item to appear on my timeline two or three times.
Perhaps only allowing sales to be posted if they have a link to the item when it is posted on the RAD forum. That way the item has to be posted on the forum first, giving Site Supporters a slight advantage. Not sure how easy to police it would be though.

It was originally stipulated that sales threads were to be only forum links but this seems to have lapsed a little.

It's too hard to moderate due to its instant accessibility, and I wouldn't even attempt to try tbh. :daumenhoch:

there is a place for both imo, for quite some time i had no laptop and so couldnt get on here (coming on here on a smart phone is a nightmare) so my only link with RAD was through the FB page :) If the RAD FB page was closed down it would not mean more people would come on here, in fact it would probably mean the complete opposite as people would just use one of the many other FB pages that exist and not get to hear about RAD at all because at least a couple of them are ANTI RAD anyway and the only mention of it on them is a slagging off.
Like it or not social media such as FB is here to stay, stop trying to be like King Canute by hold back the tide and instead use both, they both have benefits and used together would ensure that Rad survives where other forums have died.
as for not allowing people to sell on the FB page, wasn't that tried before ?
there are many pluses to the forum over the FB page and viser versa, the forum is good for info and as a referance tool, it keep posts in sections that are easy to use and dont vanish after a day or quicker.
the FB page is good for real time chat and putting pics up quickly and for instant sales/purchases.
if you shut the FB page someone will only start it up again but it wont be linked to the real RAD and then you will lose it as a tool :(
someone mentioned that it should be shut because people post photos on there that should be posted on the main site and they dont get to see them, my answer to that, join the FB page !
as Griff has said most people that use the FB page use both so no one is being lost to it.
The statment that the FB page is only used by flippers etc etc is not only untru its an insult to the many members on here that do use it.
