Is it a moderated group? To keep out the OT stuff on here?

"As a group owner/admin, you are given great moderation tools to
keep any spammers or bad actors out of your group. This includes
the ability to remove members from your group and block them.
You can also assign group admins to help you moderate your
group."


Who is the owner?


I'm on a couple of FB groups which do practice moderation. One is a closed
group and it's very rarely used or indeed needed, since they make sure
those admitted are committed to the subject.


The other one is open, and lots and lots ignore the clear rules
until stopped. Which means a lot of work for the moderators.


I am the creator and only admin of a facebook group
and am very strict about what is allowed, just garage
sale announcements and comments on a particular
garage sale. I get very few off topic posts and they
are easy to delete. I hardly ever get anyone doing it
more than once and they are easy to block if they do.

Mine is an open group.
