Branners Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It would appear Facebook have taken a dislike to the club facebook account as its not a real person. I tried a rename a week or so ago and they have taken a dislike to that as well!! So now they want proof of ID from me so they can change the page to my real name. So at the moment the club facebook page may be offline while I thrash this out with them. When I do get the account back I nee to create a new club page or group. My question is...which is best? A page or a group? I need people to be able to post stuff directly to the feed, tag us in pictures, post updates to it and post from a mobile device. So does that mean a group is the best option as sometimes I find I cannot share stuff directly to a 'page' but can post to a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Group I'd have thought, I'm on the UK GSXR one and that seems to work real well. May aswell just open one now and start getting it active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Would be wonderful with a Facebook site! I would recommend a Group as it makes it easier for people to post stuff, tag people etc. A page is mostly for one user to post things which people then can follow. And they can't post things directly to the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Group for sure. Personally, I didn't mind adding this club as a 'friend' as I felt comfortable with the admin having access to my private life, but in general, I can see where Facebook are coming from with unknown people having access to hundreds of accounts via a club or group.

Branners Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Okay, I will start up a new group in the next day or two and try and get the original account back so I can ask everybody to move across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Created a group, I dont feel it is working quite as I wanted. I like Facebook to be an extension of the forum, somewhere I can update people quickly on stuff thats coming up, share pictures and just keep in touch. The group wasnt really that. So I have starting using a Page now instead. I know I'm faffing about a bit, but I have to make sure this is right as its got to work long term!!
