Facebook

I know this is going to sound petty to some members but without sites like pomsinoz members wouldn't be brought together in the first place so please use the forum instead of dragging members away to other sites like Facebook. Also please remember when you give out your full name, email, facebook page you have no idea who you are sharing this information with as its visible to guests and not just forum members.

I made a post earlier today on a thread posting the forum rules in regards to FB, please try and keep your forum alive.

Today I have removed a number of Facebook Links from this thread. Please read our guidelines with regards to FB which I have pasted below but can be found here:

http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/feedba...rum-links.html

Please remember that it is considered bad internet etiquette to promote other forums whilst being on poms in oz. This is especially the case with FaceBook Links.

FaceBook posts and links are not allowed on the forum for various reasons. Not only is it bad internet etiquette, but members who decide to take others from PIO to post on FB are being very selfish and are not contributing to the forums that have helped them to find friends and answer questions in the first place, a lot of these FB groups would have no members in the first place if it wasn't for pomsinoz.

As with all internet forums PIO survival depends on members using and posting on the forums provided, if enough members stop posting on here and post on FB, then you could loose PIO and or its associated sites. Please if you are a new member and are approached by someone to leave PIO and join a FB group let admin or one of the mods know.

Promoting FB links on PIO can result in warnings, infractions and possible suspension of accounts.

PIO provide a PM system, a visitor message system and a secure email facility. You can even make your own group where you can leave messages for each other and discuss various aspects about Australia.

Please help to keep PIO active by using it and not abusing it.

​ Thanks....

I have found this forum incredibly useful over the last few years and just this morning have had the reply to a question about house buying that will be really helpful in our planning. I think Facebook has its place in social media but I have found the speed and willingness with which people reply to requests for information on here to be amazing. It's not just that though ... There's a camaraderie on here that is quite special.

So thank you, and long may it continue.

And on here they don't post pictures of their breakfast..................WTF is that all about on FB?

Just for you @Johndoe my breakfast, lunch, dinner

I got Day release last week so if not I'm hoping for another day away. I had an anaphylactic shock to the first treatment and I've one every day, it's such a boring 6hours. If the pre meds work maybe I can come out weekend.

Chucked a like at you merely because you responded but it's hard when you really don't like the content of the post. Kate, you're so brave!

Ross was big bloke at 98 kilos and he wouldn't let me (or anyone else) visit him as he'd gone down to 60. He wanted us to remember him as he was. Dunno if I could fight like you or him?
