*the group does still exist, but is now for “announcements only”.
Posted yesterday:
This Site [the RAFAC Radio Comms Facebook Group] will stop accepting posts from 31 November 2019 due to the site having had adverse input which we can no longer control
Given that it has been a friendly and helpful forum (much like ACC is), does the ACC hive-mind know of the “adverse input” that’s influenced this decision?
It seems a real shame to lose a convenient way of sharing information and specialist knowledge horizontally across the corps - something I feel we’re often lacking in.
The support and help available from that group has been instrumental in making a relatively niche activity more accessible for noobs - especially those who are just starting out, those with a question or query that cant be answered locally, or just to help improve Communications across the Corps - outwith if the Wg/Rg channels, but on a truly Corps wide basis.
However, the irony of the Communications specialists closing one of their most well used communications channels hasnt been lost on me.
it is a great group and even if contributions were minimal, it was an ideal place to learn what others have done with some searching.
i am lost at what caused this, good knows what “adverse impact” might be, given users need to admin approved to join, and all are welcome in the community i have to wonder is this a decision from the top down rather than from poor behaviour from the bottom causing the Top (group admins/moderators) to force the decision…
