I haven’t made 2 posts in that section. I telling my members that the original page was hacked. I have obviously been hacked.
I lost 1600+ members from the group the first time and now I have lost another 80 who signed up again.

Why and who is hacking my page?

I asked for help last time and didn’t get a response from FB.

You have NOT addressed the issue of my FB having been HACKED.

I have NOT made inappropriate comments on my own Group.
I have LOST 1,600+ members from that Group because of the HACK.
I have LOST ALL of the Threads that were in that Group.
I have now been HACKED TWICE in as many weeks.

I am now prohibited, because of that HACK and you restricting my access, from Posting to my Policing FB pages and Groups who depend on me to inform them of upcoming Police funerals.

I am also restricted, because of the HACK and restrictions from sharing and / or informing the Community Groups I manage of ANY serious matters that arise in this community that may affect people’s property and / or lives with immediate and timely information about fires.

WHY IS MY FB GROUP BEING HACKED.
WHAT IS FB DOING TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES THAT I HAVE RAISE.?

I wouldn’t have an issue if I have been using bad language, committing crimes etc, but I have been HACKED.

AGAIN you are not listening to what I am saying and,continue to send Generic responses, all of,which I did last week when the Group,was first HACKED.

Thanks for your “Timely” response – NOT.

Now someone else has, as of,Thursday, started up a similar Group but this STILL does NOT ADDRESS how my Group was originally HACKED and how I lost over 1,600 members due FB Banning me for something that I am NOT GUILTY of.

Please don’t send me another Generic response to change my password.

My password has nothing to do with it.

It was an attack upon the Group from which you have now banned me TWICE and I am still non the wiser as to WHY?

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your report. Please note it is not technically possible to hack a Facebook group. As long as the current administrators of a group keep their login details secure, and do not allow any suspicious people to become admins, then the group will remain secure.

Unfortunately I cannot personally remove this user as the group admin or re-add you or anyone else as the admin. We encourage you or the former admin of this group to contact the current admin to resolve this matter.

Finally, please note that as long as the group does not contain information that violates our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, we will not take any action on it. This decision is final. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

Hi Kim

Problem is that I was the ONLY Admin on the Group. I never ever assigned any other person to that role and I have been banned twice from my own Group.

Non of my Policing Groups have been vandalised, at this stage. Just that Name, Shame or Praise Goulburn Group.

If I am the ONLY Admin, and I didn’t delete the 1,600+ members, who did?
And where have all the Threads gone to?
And why has it now happened twice within two weeks.

It is further exasperated because I am now Blocked from Administering all of my Policing funeral Groups because of this ban.

I have been banned for no legitimate purpose.
I most definitely haven’t breached any of FB Policy to warrant the banning.

Hi Kim

I am, and have always been, the ONLY Admin for the Group but twice now, I have had my access to that Group terminated by FB.

The first time a week or two ago, for 24 hours for some breach I am alleged to have committed and the current ban for 3 days for another alleged breach I am supposed to have committed.

In the first attack, the entire contents of the Group were removed i.e. all the Threads and over 1,600+ members were removed. I did NOT to that cull.

I am, once again, banned from the site I started and, because of that ban – someone else has since started a similar Group – so now I have no control over the content or direction of the original Group that I started.

Had FB NOT banned me for some alleged breach, I would still have my original Group and would still have the 1,600+ members that MY Group originally had.

.

FB Ban’s people WITHOUT giving those people adequate recourse.

When ever I have arrested an offender and charged them with a criminal offence, I am required by both Statutory Law and Common Law to provide a Brief of Facts to the Offender so that the offender knows exactly what he has done to commit said offence.

FB, on the other hand, bans a person for 24 hours, 3 days or whatever the penalty is and simply gives them a Generic notification that they have Breach some form of Policy but FB does NOT specify exactly what that Breach entails.

Had I been on the Group and was throwing out expletives left right and centre or calling people derogatory names, provoking people to violence etc – I would have absolutely NO PROBLEMS WITH BEING BANNED.

Fact is, I did NOT commit these offences, nor did I breach ANY Policy of FB to Warrant said Bans and FB has NOT SUPPLIED any reason, other than a Breach of the Policy, as cause for the ban.

If a person is to learn from their mistakes, it is incumbent upon those enforcing the ban or penalty to inform the offender specifically of why they have been penalised – at the very basic principal of Common Law.

If FB can demonstrate what I actually am alleged to have said, or done, to Breach said Policy – I would have no problem with it but with the dozens of FB pages & Groups that I Administer, co-Administer daily etc, how would any individual possibly remember all that they have said on ANY of those Threads.

In relation to the Group that I have been banned from ( Name, Shame or Praise Goulburn ), I had only made two short Posts when the first ban was lifted and, I can guarantee, that those two Posts in NO WAY contravened FB Policy.

Because of the current Ban, I am unable to respond to various people or inform hundreds of others about recent Police deaths so that those members may be afforded the opportunity to attend the funeral of those deceased Police.

Why am I still banned?
What is FB doing to address the issue of informing their members of the exact reason ( not a generic response ) as to why they were banned? ( You were banned because you said: ….. etc )
What is FB doing to ensure that this does NOT happen a THIRD time?
What is FB doing about the loss of my 1,600+ members of that Group?
What is FB doing about the loss of ALL the data that this particular Group had recorded?
What will FB do for me, now that I have lost control of a Group that I started – which I have now lost control of because of two unwarranted Bans upon me?

I would like this issue rectified ASAP and well and truly before the current bans simply passes.

As an aside, I also run several websites together with partners and advertise via FB.

Greg

I am still awaiting an appropriate response to the situation, or are you simply awaiting the ban to time out and then think I will forget about the issue?

I think some form of ‘ update ‘ is warranted on this issue because I, and my other members, certainly don’t want this rubbish to happen a THIRD time.

Greg

You certainly don’t work in a timely manner when a fault is brought to your attention but you are quick off the mark when someone allegedly complains about an alleged breach of your Policy.
Why is the Group: Name, Shame and Praise Goulburn District, of,which I am the ONLY Admin, now not accessible???.

LILO, you are kidding !?

I am not after GENERAL SUPPORT !
There is obviously something wrong with the FB Group system.

Your other colleagues tell me that it is NOT POSSIBLE for someone other than an Administrator to delete all those Posts and Members.

If I am the ONLY ADMINISTRATOR and I did NOT delete them – then how did I lose over 1,600 members of the Group during the first ‘Ban’, over 80 during the second ‘Ban’ and why can I no longer get back into the Group if I am the ONLY Administrator?

I am also concerned about all the other FB Groups that I administer going the same direction – so it is a FB issue and NOT a GENERAL SUPPORT QUESTION.

I will NOT allow this matter to simply disappear because there is too much at stake to simply let the issue die because you fail to support those who are supporting you.

Greg

What we’ll do next
