Hmm, I don't know... he's a sneaky ******.

And he's pretty ****ing quick.

Damn.

I didn't know people even started doing that, haven't had Facebook in a long time, I apparently have been missing out

 

[cobber]

They don't need to monitor, we'll turn each other in to our FB overlords

Exactly how all tyrants do it. Without their sycophants, they're pretty much powerless.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Yes they can. Doesn't have to be humans monitoring it. For example, ChurchMouse probably didn't edit your post to change that 4-letter word to asterisks.

So....you're really saying it's software developers that are to blame?

Uh, no. . .you haven't.

This is the issue with FB groups and YouTube. Great groups. Great YouTube channels but you are at the mercy of Facebook or Google. Especially on FB where I can't even pay to promote the INGO FB page because the content is guns you have to see this coming for the classifieds groups.

I've actually had better luck selling in a NW IN Facebook group (that now exists hypothetically) than I have here in the classifieds, because there is a larger pool of NW IN buyers on Facebook than there is here.

I have to admit that I've had to code features which I disagree with philosophically. But I don't have any say about policy. I just code the requirements. So I blame the people who decide policy and push the requirements.

Ah! The "I'm just following orders" ploy?

I've seen one maybe two deals ever that were any good on Facebook... I don't use Facebook anymore but I do use instagram and got ahold of an upper for a good price that way before, I guess that's not truly a firearm though either.

That's my kind of ad.

I look at it this way, eventually sites like facebook, will regulate themselves to the point where they will no longer be popular and another site will take it's place. The cycle continues.

 

[CarnageRush]

Where am I going to find all the overpriced crap now?

 

[Vigilant]

Why are we not organizing a national boycott of FB? I mean, I can't go to a furniture store now because not only do their products suck, but they are anti-gun too? For ****s sake, I'm betting that it's almost impossible to shop anywhere these days that doesn't hate guns!

Thanks Obama.

Thanks Obama.

Obama, for all his faults, didn't start this crap!

He showed people how to leverage strawmen and mob ridicule to shame otherwise neutral parties into supporting his side.

Yeah, or you have people like Snorko who post up some fine firearms but live 4hrs away. I think those who sell on fb don't want to bother to visit a forum to learn things or socialize beyond a transaction.
