when vetting people to join the group or not, you see how many groups the applicant belongs to, lots of people are a member of 1000 or more groups, I've seen two with over 2000 groups that they belong to,! joining over 2000 facebook groups must feel like a full time job most of the high group people are indian, phone /internet chat workers I imagine,
we average around 1000 new applicants per day, at the weekend from the friday, sat, and sun I've seen over 2000 people wanting to join the group, I don't have to ban too many people, mainly those who try to advertise things in the group, products or psycic things, or people being really mean to others in there, it seems that even in the nicest of places, people can be right ****!
there are alo a lot of religious preaching posts that a thinly disguised as poems/prose, if there are too many religious posts on there, ppeople start to complain, so I only let one of those through if the god poem is actually pretty good, I've only seen two diamonds in the rough goddy poems though
I won't accept anyone who is hovering around, or more than 1000 other groups, or if they have only been a member off facebook for less than a day, (like hours), there are other groups like ours that they could join, so no biggy imho
we had an admin let slip in a post that had self harm/ scuicide content the other day, so the group is actually in danger according to facebook, so I have to be extra vigilant and look at every post carefully, making sure that there are no hidden links in a post that needs approving, before it will be approved if the content is good enough!


it's odd to have a kinda job, I'm disabled so feeling like I am contributing to a global society cheers me up a bit


I didn't ask to be an admin, they asked me, it was pretty random at the time

the group page is "poets, and poetry lovers"

people that are in mulitple (1000s) groups could just be accounts people use to spam groups with adverts.
yup, that is my fear, and why I don't accept them, I think many are bored indians who are using a computer all day dealing with webchat for sites, and phonecalls for other places, who just pass the time looking at facebook, while they 'talk to their lead/super' or have to pass you to the correct department on amazon
this group page is also based in india too, so a lot of indians
