chunky Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I have no idea what's going on... Karl Fiala's "Speedway Friends" group has been deactivated, because it "broke community guidelines". Now, I've just tried to get on the "Old Time Speedway" group, and I can't find that. Any of you on that group, and have seen that deactivated - or is it just me?

midlandred Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Karl is mystified why it’s been deactivated, with no explanation from FB. Speedway Scrapbook has offered him a way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Maybe something going on with the word speedway ? I noticed Paulco had a post taken down. All it was , was mentioning he was at a speedway meeting. And it broke Facebook rules, and someone said they had the same thing happen. Seems strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange Yeah, you read some of the comments on Karl's post, and there are several people who've had their groups taken down. Trouble is, all they ever say that it "violates community standards", but they never tell you how. Seems like "speedway" really is a dirty word these days...

Strangely it could be the word JAP, I and others have had several warnings about using it when talking about the engine ,same as you can’t say tranny when referring to a ford transit Edited May 18 by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Facebook is a law unto itself. Several months ago there was a spate of porn videos posted on the New Cross Supporters page. I reported them to Facebook and they replied that they did not go against their community standards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Facebook seem to operate, is if someone reports something then they take it down or hand someone a ban, without bothering to check if there really is something offensive. I guess because there are some many reports from so many offended people, they are overwhelmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted May 18 Author Report Share Posted May 18 Thinking about THE DEAN MACHINE's comment above, I don't understand why so many straightforward words and phrases in the English language have become forbidden, just because some idiot uses them in a derogatory manner. To illustrate the problem, here is a pic I posted on Facebook earlier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
